Our Story

Founders Image | Kaela Kinney and Lesley Duffy

Founded in 2022 by two moms, Kaela Kinney and Lesley Duffy, Olive & Ark began as a holistic workspace with on-location childcare. From the start, we knew we wanted to create a space where parents could connect, recharge, and nurture their well-being. As our community grew, we found ourselves in countless organic conversations with members about the products we were using, which ones we trusted, and where we were shopping for safer, more intentional alternatives.

It was these conversations that inspired us to expand beyond our physical location and bring Olive & Ark to the online world. Our goal was simple: to make holistic living more accessible, affordable, and thoughtful for all parents.

At Olive & Ark, we are passionate about curating a mindful shopping experience that nourishes both body and soul. We carefully select products that are free from harmful ingredients while still delivering delightful aromas, stylish apparel, and thoughtful gifts. We believe in the power of intentional choices—empowering you to enjoy beauty, wellness, and peace of mind in every aspect of life.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Whether in person or online, we're here to support you in living a more holistic, intentional, and fulfilling life, one mindful choice at a time.
