Meet Shanna Bradford LME, MA, CR | CEO/Founder of Grow Out Oils

We had the good fortune of connecting with Shanna Bradford LME, MA, CR and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shanna, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing about the clinical aromatherapy sector that most people are unaware of is that the FDA now overseas essential oils and aromatherapy because certain claims on essential oils can get you into trouble. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates essential oils by determining whether they’re a cosmetic, drug, household item or something else. They base their determinations on the product’s intended use. So it’s not a wise choice to make claims on products containing essential oils by stating products can treat, cure or diagnose. Aromatherapy and essential oils are great for aiding the body in health and well-being to bring back balance during a guided protocol during your wellness journey..

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite spot in Miami is The Vizcaya Museum & Gardens and it would be my first place to take my friend. The scenery is just pure bliss and a great place to take amazing photography. The next few days we would hit Bayside and take a boat tour and get some shine and a great tasting Mojito drink. To get our shopping on we would head to Lincoln Road on Collins and enjoy each of the new retail stores for the best experience. To grab a bite to eat Wet Willy’s has the best Call A Cab and Chicken and Fries in Miami Florida! I don’t have enough time to write down every single hot spot but here is just a few of my favorites things to do. 😉

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to recognize my supportive husband and business partner Art Bradford. My husband left his 9-5 to work with me and help me grow our company with over 30 years of experience in Sales. He brings all of his sales strategies, business to business planning, business prospecting, product design, product branding, negotiating our business contracts, business financials and making sure our day to day business transactions are functional, organize and structured.
