Raw Health and Beauty with Kimberly Snyder

Raw Vegan Health and Beauty with Kimberly Snyder Kimberly SnyderAfter graduating magna cum laude from Georgetown University and earning a degree from Oxford University's International Finance Program, Kimberly Snyder didn't choose an ordinary path.

After a year of working in Sydney, Australia after graduation, Snyder had the deep urge to see other ways of life before choosing her own. She then embarked on a three-year solo journey that would take her around the world. Traveling from the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro to the depths of the ocean, her experiences redefined her worldview. Spanning 57 countries and six continents, the trip exposed Snyder to a vast assortment of environments as well as beauty and health practices from different cultures.

By immersing herself in the diverse, local communities throughout Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and South America, Snyder discovered a common bond: the use of raw, natural ingredients in furthering health and beauty. She studied local health and beauty practices at every step along the way, accumulating in-depth knowledge of indigenous traditions.

After returning to the U.S., Snyder joined one of the world's largest beauty companies and gained valuable insight into the beauty industry. However, Snyder found that there was no room in a large corporation to share the precious knowledge she had amassed traveling the world.

Snyder realized that her knowledge and experience in global health and beauty traditions uniquely qualified her to create her own beauty products. She founded Envision Beauty with a goal to create products that combined maximum simplicity with unparalleled quality, incorporating both the potent, time-tested ingredients she had discovered in her travels and cutting-edge technology to maximize the efficacy of those natural ingredients. She vowed to always put her customers first and never cut corners. The result is Envision Beauty's first product, an unparalleled, all-in-one skincare cream aptly named "The Solution."

Snyder brings her varied passions and many fields of expertise to Envision Beauty, integrating her dedication to total health into her business. She is a highly sought-after yoga instructor certified under living yoga master Dharma Mittra. She is a certified Raw Food Nutrition Specialist and Chef, trained by Dr. Jubbs, a pioneer in cellular nutrition and natural healing. Snyder has served as both a contributor and yoga model to such magazines as Shape, Fitness, Women's Health, Hers and Real Simple. She recently acted as contributing editor for the best-selling book Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness.

In her spare time, Snyder can usually be found teaching yoga, practicing yoga or meditating. Still a traveler at heart, Snyder continues to explore the world whenever possible. She is currently working on her first book, a memoir of her three-year solo journey. When she's not traveling the globe, Snyder is at home in New York City's West Village.
