Founder Story

Rhianna, founder of Statera

Meet Rhianna — Founder of Statera

Statera means balance. And balance is something I had to fight to find.

A few years ago, my health reached a breaking point. What started as chronic issues I'd been managing for years suddenly became impossible to ignore (I ended up in A&E), and from there began a long road of doctors' appointments, medications, and uncertainty. My physical health was at its lowest, and my mental health followed. I felt completely lost, and for a long time, I spent most of my days on bed rest.

It was during that time that I first discovered CBD. I started taking it to help manage pain and support my mood, and something shifted. Curious, I began to research CBD more and that research led me down a rabbit hole into the world of functional mushrooms. Lion's Mane. Reishi. Chaga. Cordyceps. Ancient ingredients with remarkable potential, backed by centuries of traditional use and emerging clinical research.

Slowly, I started to feel more like myself again. Not because of one magic fix, but through a combination of natural remedies, mindfulness, and a genuine commitment to listening to and working with my body.

That's when Statera was born. From my bed(!), I began liaising with manufacturers, designing packaging, and building a brand with one simple idea at its heart: that balance is possible, nature can help us find it and essentially that to move forwards we sometimes have to go back, to the remedies of our ancestors. To plants, mushrooms and herbs that have been around long before us.

Statera is for anyone and everyone, who's ever felt like their body and mind are working against them. We’re not here to give medical advice, but if you’re looking for natural alternatives, maybe we’re for you. I built this brand and this community for you, because I've been you.

With love,
Rhianna 🍄
