Ho'ano started in 1998 in the foothills of Southern Oregon. Jennifer began by making Jen's Original 12 Herb Salve and Breast Caress Body Oil. The salve is reminiscent of a magical place called "The Ranch" in Southern Oregon focusing on 12 temperate plants of that region and the Breast Caress Body Oil was created to offer a way for women to love and care for their Breast Health. Jennifer formulated both of these products while living in Oregon and later bringing them back home to Hawaii. The first store ever to carry Jen's Original 12 Herb Salve was GNC in Roseburg, OR. She is self taught and worked with a former colleague and herbalist to create these fine botanicals.

While living in Oregon, Jennifer experienced her own Benign Breast issues and sought out care with a Naturopath. She found that there were many herbal oils that were beneficial for breast health. This combined with other lifestyle changes and reflecting on her emotional health started her personal and professional journey of teaching women about Lymphatic Self Breast Care and the making of Breast Caress Body Oil. 

Upon return to Hawaii, her childhood home, she began teaching women these techniques. She met Dr. Laurie Steelsmith who encouraged her to become a Massage Therapist to further her education. Upon her licensure, she then began to take continuing education for Lymph Drainage Therapy with Chikly Institute and speak at health lectures with Dr. Laurie Steelsmith.  Dr. Steelsmith later endorsed her product Breast Caress Body Oil to be featured in her book "Natural Choices for Women's Health." Jennifer continues to keep these products alive today to in hopes of bringing healing to people. 

Fast forward 20 years later, Jennifer has a thriving practice in Los Angeles and has continued to create awareness of the mind body connection in promoting positive breast health through herbal oils, emotional healing and self massage and her specialty has become to works with clients in post op care for breast cancer, breast health and other cosmetic procedures, amongst other indications. In 2014, she decided to update her knowledge and understanding of lymphatic drainage by starting the journey of learning Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymph Drainage. She offers these services in her practice in Los Angeles. Please see About Page for her Bio and Credentials.

Her underlying message is when we take care of our emotional well-being, we may have a direct correlation to our physical health. 

"This has been her message through the years, that there may be an emotional component to breast health. The more we love and care for ourselves, the greater the correlation to our good health." 

Her website offers Ho'ano Botanicals signature product Breast Caress Body Oil and Jen's Original 12 Herb Salve, a self breast care technique, You Tube videos, lymphatic drainage and other wellness services for personal empowerment.
