Meet our Founder Shannon Vaughn In 2011, Shannon Vaughn was faced with two significant health crises: the possibility of not having children and an advanced case of PTSD due to living in the ever-turbulent Middle East. She dismissed the idea of surgery or a lifetime of medication and instead sought out alternative holistic healing modalities. Shannon became compelled to share her healing experience so that others could redefine the practice of self-care for themselves. Through her own journey, Shannon has come to deeply believe in the benefits of wellness via detoxification. In 2014, she set out to source the purest and most potent detox beauty ingredients in the world, to formulate them with the most rigorous research, and to deliver them as lifestyle-integrated rituals in the most appealing and accessible forms for modern living. With that purpose, Pursoma was born.
