Hear from our very own Beth Busbin about what this past year has meant to her:
WHAT A YEAR!
It feels like just yesterday we gathered at the Old Chimney Cove Clubhouse with a few friends,
a shared vision, and a few campfire dreams. Fast forward 12 months, and Four Winds Alabama
is celebrating its 1st Birthday, growing even faster than a pop-up tent. From sunrise yoga to
late-night campfire stargazing, this past year has shown us that when God is first, everything is
possible.
From a Small Seed to a Thriving Community
Four Winds Alabama was built on a shared vision of faith, fitness, and community.
“A MOVEMENT FOR MOVEMENT”
Angie Stryker – The Wildflowers bring wellness to life through yoga and yoga paddleboarding,
creating peaceful, faith-centered experiences on and off the water.
Jessica Camp & Eric Camp – Camp's Getaway Gear & Outdoors lead the adventure side with
group kayaking experiences, kayak rentals, boat and jet ski rentals, and camping gear for
families and visitors to fully enjoy Lake Wedowee.
Beth Busbin – WeFit Extreme Training provides nutrition coaching and fitness classes
focused on building strength, improving health, and creating sustainable lifestyle habits.
From an overgrown empty property full of cobwebs to a year of our cups running over! Dreams
that became goals became something truly special. It would not have been possible without
you.
In celebration of our 1st Birthday, Four Winds Alabama is growing again!
The Cottage at Four Winds Refillery with Holistic Roots by Doc Beth products, an all-natural
wellness line created through years of research and personal experience. Other locally sourced
products will also be available at The Cottage.
This journey didn’t happen overnight. Cancer at 42, watching my parents, friends and family
members also going through this, My why became greater! I began asking deeper questions
about what we can control. While genetics play a role, both doctors and research continue to
point to the environment as a major factor. That led me to focus on one simple but powerful
truth: we can control what we put on and in our bodies.
That mission led to the creation of Holistic Roots by Doc Beth, where we offer truly non-toxic,
research-based products for your home and body.
Why a Refillery?
• Reduce waste by reusing your own containers or using ours
• Avoid unnecessary packaging and harmful chemicals
• Pay for only what you need
• Support sustainable, eco-friendly living, keep Lake Wedowee clean
From laundry detergents to cleaning products and skincare, everything is designed to be
effective, simple, and truly clean.
The “Smell-Free” Laundry & Truly Natural Product Approach
Many “natural” detergents and products still rely heavily on fragrance oils or even essential oils
simply for scent. At Holistic Roots by Doc Beth, we take a very different approach.
All products are created with non toxic (most food grade) and using clinical-grade essential oils
that I have personally distilled or pressed, ensuring purity, quality, and full transparency. When
additional oils are needed, they are sourced through a highly scrutinized vetting process,
because I will only use the highest quality ingredients available.
This standard isn’t just preference, it’s part of my doctoral research and dissertation, where
every product has been evaluated for real-world use, safety, and effectiveness. The most recent
data from a case study using 60 households, showed significant results supporting my
hypothesis that started this line of products.
Products are designed to:
• Be truly non-toxic and effective
• Avoid unnecessary fillers and synthetic fragrances
• Use only intentional, research-backed ingredients
• Support sensitive systems without compromising results
And in many cases, clean doesn’t need a scent at all. A product can do its job beautifully
without leaving anything behind on your skin, your clothes, or in your home.
