Meet Chasten! When she needed to escape the suburbs, Chasten fell in love with Boulder’s diverse culture. Self-employed, Chasten embraces nutritional and natural healing—embracing the CBD revolution by educating the public on the many benefits of high quality natural Hemp oil. Some of Chasten’s greatest accomplishments not only include motherhood, but also caring for foster pets before they find their forever homes, and adopting and raising a special needs kitten of her own. Chasten and her partner Justin love spending their free time exploring local events, “with an event of some sort happening everyday, it’s a great way to learn about, participate, and contribute to Boulder’s diverse culture” she says. Chasten’s main goal at the moment is her contribution, fight, and dedication for getting Boulder to pass the Boulder Country Climate bill—the new Anti-Fracking initiative. When not busy balancing their many interests, Chasten, Justin, and their daughter Amrielle take advantage of the nearby hot springs, hiking in the snow, and spending quality adventure time with their two dogs. Way to go Chasten, Thanks!
