It was the pandemic that awakened the entrepreneurial spirit in Stacey Roberts, co-owner of Hempra, a new business in Naples. Deciding to create something new, she resolved to combine a passion for skincare as an esthetician at her former Naples business, Replenish, and at The Ritz Carlton, as well as experience in medical marijuana dispensaries in Breckenridge and Boulder, Colorado. The knowledge she gained from studying medicinal plants at Herbalism Roots, in Denver, fit perfectly into the plan she proposed to her business partner

Specializing in matching the customer with the right CBD products for their specific needs, Roberts says, “In my six years of working in a few different dispensaries, I learned a lot by helping people who came in search of CBD products for different reasons, such as relief from pain, insomnia, anxiety, arthritis and many other health issues. It’s not only very important that an individual purchases the right product, but also that they use it on a consistent basis. When people buy products that they don’t use correctly, they don’t get the results they are expecting. That’s why educating customers and providing clear instructions for use is so important,” says the Naples resident.

Roberts explains, “We make it so simple by putting premium, hemp-derived CBD products in an attractive box and mailing it right to the customer’s door. We have sample, monthly and seasonal boxes. The customer doesn’t need to come to the store. They can answer the survey questions on our website and we can choose the products based on their answers or they can make their own selections. They can also call us. We have CBD in many forms, such as drops and tinctures, as well as edibles such as chocolates, gummies and lozenges. We also have others, such as a breath mist in addition to skincare products, which are one of my best sellers
