Inspired by and a facialist for professional athletes, vibrant fitness culture, plus her interest in healthy athletic living, she created pioneering skin care products all formulated with natural, organic ingredients. Prior to launching Fitness Botanical Skin Care Co., Sandy herself suffered from acne and felt her dull skin texture and appearance were not up to her standards. Suspecting it may be from her active lifestyle and after trying several products, frustrated, she shared her story with athletes and discovered they too had the same complaints. This was the "epihany" which motivated Sandy to research natural ingredients with balanced formulas for an overlooked clientele which led to the launch of Motion Medica skin care. Her goal was to cure problematic skin associated with exercise and achieving a vibrant healthier appearance and texture for non problematic skin. Sandy also brought the attention of the special skin care needs of persons who engage in an active lifestyle by conducting extensive research with dermatologists, physiologists, biologists and skin research scientists.

Sandy pioneered the use of natural ingredients to honor her vision of being a company dedicated and educating fitness activists towards healthier skin with no chemicals. Always innovative, Sandy created the only acne kit for acne induced by exercise and a moisterizer specially formulated to apply on the skin before a workout to protect the skin from elements found in sweat without clogging pores. To cleansers that cleanse the skin making it feel and look cleaner after a sweat without drying and eliminating dullness resulting in radiant skin.

Best of all perhaps, is that Sandy has helped many others realize their skin care needs for their active lifestyle and how their skin care regimen should be thought of as importantly as their workout regimen. Fitness Botanical Skin Care Co. remains a small company, offering individual assistance for each client, by Sandy herself.

Her purpose is to enhance her clients' self image and success with a skin care regimen and specialized product by providing  a very personal and exclusive way to accomplish skin appearance goals. Each client is treated exclusive regardless if they are a professional fitness activist or recreational exerciser. Most importantly, Sandy is grateful to help her clients realize the difference with their skin by providing  affordable products compared to department store brands and other pricey botanical lines. Motion Medica excels as an affordable natural quality range.
