ABOUT THE COMPANY
Ritual Cleanse was born from the idea that there must be . . . A better way to cleanse. The company’s mission is to provide a superior fresh pressed, 100% organic vegetable and fruit juice cleanse that is packaged in environmentally sound materials and simple enough for busy people to integrate into their life.
The Ritual Cleanse fulfills this mission. The program is designed to include everyone from elite athletes to couch potatoes, raw foodies to fast foodies. The Reset Cleanse floods the cells with vitamins and minerals that gently cleanse and heal your body without the harsh “detox” symptoms associated with other cleanses. The Shred component even provides extra nutrition to fuel workouts.
Whatever category you fall into, whether you are an avid cleanser or a first timer looking for something to kick-start a healthier lifestyle, Ritual has you covered. Ritual makes juice cleansing a simple and rewarding experience by combining the power of nature’s organic produce with man’s most innovative juicer in order to give you a system that is purer, healthier and better for you than any other cleanse on the planet. There are no additives, funky powders, or pills involved, just pure and tasty juice!
Every detail of the Ritual Cleanse honors the founders’ mission, from the juicers and produce to the bottles and coolers they choose. The juicers used at Ritual are estimated to extract at least 4 times more nutrients than the centrifugal juicers used in most juice bars and homes. In addition, one of the many reasons Ritual chooses 100% organic is because organic produce contains 20-50% more nutrients than conventional produce. And with their eco-pledge mind, Ritual’s bottles are 100% recyclable and the reusable coolers the juices come in are made from 100% recyclable materials.
Ritual . . . A better way to cleanse.
Lori C. Kenyon (Co-Founder)
Lori grew up in a small town in upstate New York playing sports, with a passion for fitness. As a teenager, she was diagnosed with a gastric disorder that prohibits her ability to digest animal protein. As a result of having to follow a strictly vegetarian diet, she became an expert at fueling her active lifestyle with fruits and vegetables.
Upon graduation from St. Lawrence University with a BS in Sociology, Lori moved to California to attend Pepperdine University School of Law. There she met many more like minded souls; people who led an active lifestyle, worked hard and played hard. She spent her free time learning to cook healthy gourmet vegetarian meals, taking advantage of California’s abundant organic produce.
After passing the New York Bar Exam, Lori spent the following fifteen years working in finance, twelve of them in wealth management with a division of Goldman Sachs. After co- founding and running operations for a Hedge Fund, Lori came to rely even more on diet and exercise to balance her fast-paced, high-stress career and ultimately became a certified nutritional consultant.
As friends and workout partners, Lori and Marra began exploring the benefits of raw juice cleanses in 2008. For Lori, it was a feeling of sluggishness and toxicity resulting from an extended round of antibiotics that pushed her to first try cleansing. Although there were many benefits, she found it difficult to maintain sufficient energy for her workouts and was disconcerted with the lack of organic options – what was the point of cleansing if you were adding chemicals and toxins to your system? The prevalence of plastic bottles was also distressing for the waste they created and the chemicals they leached. Together, Lori and Marra knew there must be a better way to cleanse. Now, with Ritual Cleanse, Lori is excited to join her business and legal expertise with her passion for health and fitness.
Marra O. St.Clair (Co-Founder)
Marra was destined to be healthy. Growing up in a large New York Italian family introduced her to the pleasure of food and wine from an early age. With an innate desire for health, Marra self-learned how to live a balanced lifestyle in a culture defined by food. But it was her diagnosis with Celiac’s disease in college that really charted her course and fueled her interest in wellness. Marra learned that Celiac’s must be managed with a gluten-free diet. Feeling better than ever after bidding farewell to pasta she began to seriously explore the connection between diet, fitness and wellbeing.
Marra continued feeding her interest in health and wellness while studying at Loyola Marymount University. She is now a certified Pilates instructor, Gyrotonic teacher, personal trainer and a certified nutritional consultant. Her love of how it feels to be strong and healthy provides her with the inspiration to lead as many people as possible to wellness. Her mission is simple and has been the same since she started in the Wellness industry in 2003 . . . to empower people to improve their lives.
Marra continuously works to deepen her understanding of the body’s relationship to food and exercise. In fact, it was this passion that led her to first explore the healing effects of juice cleansing. Initially euphoric at the high levels of nutrients provided by juicing, Marra was frustrated by the lack of calories and natural protein component that would allow her to continue being active while enjoying the benefits of cleansing. Thus, Ritual Cleanse was born.
