Today we’d like to introduce you to Tatiyana Sinkfield.
Hi Tatiyana, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Growing up, I dealt with ongoing acne scarring and eczema, and finding something that truly worked for my skin often felt frustrating. Most store-bought options were either too harsh or filled with ingredients I didn’t feel comfortable putting on my skin. Even many products labeled as “natural” still fell short.
That frustration led me to start making my own body butter. I eventually turned to shea butter because of its natural healing properties. I spent a lot of time researching, experimenting, and refining different formulas until I created a body butter that actually worked for me. I used it consistently and began sharing it with family and friends—first as gifts, then simply because they kept asking for more.
What started as something personal slowly grew into something bigger. With encouragement from the people around me who genuinely loved the product and saw real results, I decided to turn it into a business and make it available to others. Creating something I use every day and watching it help people manage eczema, dry skin, and blemishes has been incredibly motivating.
Around that same time I started selling my body butter, I began chiropractic school, which only deepened my appreciation for holistic wellness. Learning about the body, its ability to heal, and the importance of treating the whole person not just symptoms reinforced everything I already believed. That experience strengthened my commitment to natural, intentional care and further shaped the way I approach both my practice and my products. My business represents that connection between self-care, healing, and wellness, and it’s something I take great pride in sharing. feelluved has been more than a business; it’s been a deep-rooted passion come to life, something I take great pride and joy when sharing with those who’ve chosen to give my products a try.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Finding balance has been one of the hardest parts of being a business owner. While building feelluved, I was also a full-time graduate student, and it was often challenging to give my business the time and energy it deserved. The effort, dedication, and constant trial and error that came with entrepreneurship could feel overwhelming at times, but it was always worth it.
There were many moments when I could have taken shortcuts, but staying true to my vision and mission for feelluved kept me grounded and motivated, even when it required more time and work. That experience taught me discipline, patience, and the importance of integrity in business. Now, as I continue learning how to navigate owning and managing multiple businesses, those lessons still guide the way I operate and grow.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
