Jessica Hayden-Smith & Tina Pavlou: Awakening the World Through The Purity Path

In a world where constant noise drowns out our inner voice, Jessica Hayden-Smith and Tina Pavlou are helping people rediscover their natural rhythm. As co-founders of Bower Botanicals Ltd and The Unknown Retreats, they’ve created The Purity Path—a transformative journey of cleansing, alignment, and renewal. Through their unique blend of energy work, lifestyle rituals, and mindset reprogramming, Jessica and Tina guide individuals toward clarity, vitality, and conscious self-connection. Their mission is simple yet profound: to help the world heal from within.

“Wellbeing is about honouring your body and awakening the clarity within.”

How did your work with The Unknown Retreats lead to creating your own supplement brand? 

From her late 20s through her 40s, Tina always envisioned creating products. Both she and Jessica have always been conscious consumers mindful of what goes into their hair, skin, homes, and bodies, always seeking the cleanest and most natural options. 

As The Unknown Retreats grew, it became clear that there was a need for products that truly reflected the same level of integrity, purity, and frequency as the retreats themselves. The process of bringing this vision to life took over two years, a journey filled with resistance from manufacturers insisting that supplements required fillers, binders, and preservatives for shelf life; we both decided that this would compromise our integrity. 

Driven by a shared passion to create formulations that are both scientifically grounded and energetically clean, Tina and Jessica committed to developing a brand that stands apart one built on truth, integrity, and high vibration. After years of research, testing, and refusing to compromise, Bower Botanicals Ltd was born: pure, potent supplements designed to genuinely support the body and spirit. 

What makes Bower Botanicals different from other wellness brands out there?

Every ingredient is researched with precision and care, in collaboration with our biochemist and informed by our background in ThetaHealing®. We have really dived in deep to create the highest frequency and healing product at the same time. We want to teach your body how to thrive, how to glow, how to be radiant, how to connect with your own inner beauty and you’ll see that by the products you put inside of your body. As your organs begin to be regenerated and refreshed with a new lease of life with these beautiful clean products it comes back through our skin and eyes. We go beyond the physical formulation exploring how the body is influenced by belief systems, emotional patterns, and cultural energetics. 

Our intention is to create supplements that carry the highest possible frequency, designed for this pivotal moment when people are ready not just to heal, but to truly thrive and radiate from within. As the organs are nourished and regenerated, that vitality naturally reflects outward through luminous skin, bright eyes, and a deep sense of renewal. 

Can you tell us a bit about the kinds of products people can expect when you launch? 

We’re beginning with a powerful green formulation that focuses on the gut, the body’s most underrated yet essential organ, and the vital bridge between the gut and the brain. They’re like first cousins, deeply interconnected. By supporting the gut, we help retrain the brain to step into a new chapter of clarity, vitality, and emotional balance. 

Our goal is to guide people onto what we call the purity path to truly experience what it feels like to live in a vibrant body: strong, clear, energised, and pain-free. Imagine waking up each day with clarity of mind, 20/20 vision, a balanced nervous system, and no inflammation — that’s what true vitality feels like. 

These formulations are created with absolute integrity, no binders, fillers, or hidden irritants. As Advanced ThetaHealing® practitioners (with Tina holding a Certificate of Science in this modality), we understand the connection between the mind, body, and belief systems. The body is always communicating with us that illness or imbalance isn’t a failure, it’s a message asking us to listen and realign. 

That’s why every single ingredient in our green formula has been carefully chosen and tested by us. We’ve said no to many commonly used ingredients found in other greens powders after investigating whether they truly support the gut-brain connection or were simply clever marketing. We’re here to raise the standard standing firmly in truth and integrity. 

Each ingredient is sourced in its cleanest and most potent form. We only create what we personally take products that help the body heal itself naturally. Tina’s years of working one-to-one with clients to overcome intolerances and allergies deeply inform this philosophy.

This formula also works with the small intestine, supporting the body’s natural ability to clear parasites and restore balance. And for those who want to explore this deeper connection between the body, mind, and belief systems, we invite you to join us at one of our retreats where this work truly comes to life. 

How do your two backgrounds come together in this project? 

Jessica first joined one of Tina’s courses just after lockdown, deeply drawn to the ThetaHealing® work. She became a dedicated student, and it was a natural progression later coming to work with Tina as her Personal Assistant, and naturally evolved into a business partner. Our partnership is rooted in shared values, trust, and a genuine love for helping people live as healthy, whole, and connected human beings. 

Together, we blend years of experience in energy work, mindset transformation, and holistic wellness uniting the practical and the spiritual to create something that truly supports healing on every level. 

You often talk about helping people “reset and reconnect.” What does that mean to you personally? 

For us, “reset and reconnect” means returning to truth to feeling deeply and allowing emotions to move without suppression. It’s about revisiting memories without trauma and rediscovering the natural joy that arises when the body and mind are clear. 

Our products are designed to support that energetic cleansing, particularly through the organs linked to emotional balance. A clean body creates a clean mind, and a clean mind opens a clear connection to consciousness. This is what we call the purity path, alignment, self-responsibility, and awareness of the deeper healing messages behind what we feel. 

For too long, wellness has been tied to outdated ideals like “there’s nothing better than skinny,” a belief that has caused deep harm and disconnection. True wellbeing isn’t about control or appearance, it’s about living in alignment with your truth, honouring your body, and cultivating self-accountability. When we live with clarity, clear body, clear mind, clear connection — we step into the life we truly deserve. 

What’s one simple daily habit you both swear by for balance and wellbeing?

Tina: I start my day with peace and quiet. Waking around 4 or 4:30 a.m., I take time to potter around, prepare for the day, and move gently into presence. My supplements are non-negotiable, followed by a walking meditation and then pilates or personal training at 7 a.m. It’s my sacred time for grounding, self-reflection, and inner calm, a rhythm that sets the tone for the rest of my day. 

Jessica: I focus on connecting with my body through its natural rhythms and cycles, creating small pockets of ritual throughout the day. My morning begins with warm lemon water and a serving of greens to feel nourished and energised. Throughout the day, I enjoy herbal teas, short meditations, mindful walks, and sometimes a yoga practice — short or long, usually online to stay grounded and present. These mindful moments help me honour my body, maintain balance, and support wellbeing in a consistent but flexible way that fits naturally into daily life. 

What have been some of the biggest lessons you’ve learned working together as co-founders? 

We’ve learned the power of laughter — it carries us through everything! We meditate together, travel together, and honour each other’s strengths. There’s deep trust, loyalty, and integrity in our partnership. It’s truly a wellbeing relationship built on care, respect, and shared purpose. 

What do you hope people feel when they use your products or attend your retreats? 

We want people to feel clean mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. To feel connected to themselves, aligned, focused, and clear. Our mission is to help people live in the frequency of truth and purity to feel radiant and fully present in their own light.

Looking ahead, what’s your vision for Bower Botanicals and The Unknown Retreats in the next few years? 

We’re growing quickly, our September retreat is already sold out, and we’ve had to add an extra date in August due to demand. Soon, we’ll be running a minimum of eight retreats a year across Italy and the Mediterranean, eventually expanding to one each month. 

Bower Botanicals products will launch in the UK first, with plans already underway to expand into Europe and Australia. Our vision is to build a global community rooted in integrity, healing, and true wellbeing one retreat, one product, and one person at a time.

“Nourish the body, clear the mind, and let the spirit shine.”
