Our Story

I’m Monique Forbes! Born in The Bahamas, I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and channeled my creative energies to open up CocoMo Creations in Austin, Texas. I have my Master’s Degree and I’m also a certified Massage Therapist who has taken Reiki classes and practiced Yoga, Pilates and Thai Chi.

 I’ve always enjoyed being hands on; making, creating, interior design and goods that are chic, yet rustic and natural have always appealed to me. I have been imaginative and creative for as long as I can remember and creating natural products almost all of my adult life. As a child, traveling became a passion and I have been a wanderer at heart ever since. I’ve seen a lot as I have traveled the world which I believe has given me an infinity for life, in general. My belief is that no matter where you are in the world, it’s important to find beauty and balance.

 When my son was born, I combined my hobby of candle making together with my passion of healing, love of travel, the outdoors and all things that are chic to form CocoMo Creations. Being responsible for his life, it became more apparent that I needed to protect him from as many free radicals that I could control, within reason. A few years later, I was diagnosed with a rare medical condition. It was through this experience I became even more focused on a natural way of living without compromising luxury and style.

I now juggle a full-time job while being a mum and running a small business where I craft luxurious handmade products in my home using eco-friendly ingredients  infused with care and loving intentional energy.

Happy healing and I hope you enjoy these products I pour my heart and soul into for YOU!
