Guru Kratom Origins

Hi! I'm Melissa, the Founder of Guru Kratom.  

I lived and worked in Indonesia for 14 years as a linguist, doing non-profit work with an indigenous people group on the island of Papua.  This career and these people were near and dear to my heart.   This left a huge hole in my heart, and my adjustment to life in the U.S. did not go well.  I turned to drinking to dull the pain, and let's just say that didn't go well.

I was introduced to kratom as I was trying to quit drinking, and fell in love with its effects immediately.  I looked around the kava bar I was in at that time, and couldn't believe when I saw maps of Indonesia and Indonesian artifacts all over the walls.  The kava tender told me that Indonesia is where the majority of the kratom in the world that is marketed is grown.  I almost fell out of my chair.

This started my love for kratom, and I quickly became an advocate of its benefits.  The most significant benefits it gave me were the consciousness to deal with all of my unresolved pain from leaving the tribe I had lived in, and the divorce that ensued once I returned to the U.S.  I still enjoy its benefits to this day.  

Eventually, I decided that I wanted to share kratom with the WORLD, so I started Guru Kratom.   I take pride in being a kratom enthusiast, as well as a kratom wholesale company.  This product and the company Guru Kratom are very special to me.  I hope they will become that way to you, too.

Yours,

Melissa
