MY STORY
My name is Olivia Rocha
Its hard to say where it all began, and I'm certainly not at the end. My garden of knowledge is always growing deeper, wider, and more beautiful. Passions are ignited from the simplest things and take on lives of their own...the earth is filled with teachers and mentors, and I am deeply grateful for each one that I have known. I have two magical little boys that inspire me daily. My husband, the love of my life, and rock of our family says I am "wild like the forest" and I think that is how I intend to live, with the wildness and wisdom of the woods.
Elia was founded as a place to share my creations with others, it is always expanding, growing, changing. The products I make are things that have helped me and my family. I use the highest quality ingredients and everything is crafted with love. The name Elia resonated with me from the Greek and Hebrew meanings. The Greek, like Olivia, means Olive Tree. The olive tree is a symbol of peace, wisdom, healing, deep roots and sacred branches. The Hebrew, to my Creator, who gave us all the wonderful healing things.
