"While in Kansas City, Kelly opened Renee Kelly’s Harvest restaurant in Shawnee’s Caenen Castle, became a frequent face on local morning news shows, competed on Top Chef, and made appearances on NBC’s Today Show. As it turns out, Kelly’s extensive background as a chef shaped the skills she needed to found Vahi.

'“I promised myself when I started the restaurant that the day it wasn’t fun was the day I needed to stop,” says Kelly. “I still miss my gardens. I miss the farmers I worked with. I miss all my customers. But I lost my joy. So, I decided to close, and shortly after a mentor of mine gave me an idea for a product that could help a lot of women.”

"Kelly’s mentor was a craniosacral therapist who focused on newborns and their mothers. He shared with Kelly that many of his clients lamented that due to medical challenges following birth, they could no longer enjoy intimacy. Kelly’s friend suggested she put her skills as a chef to use and come up with a concoction to help these women feel their sensuality again . . .

"Using coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, shea olein, jojoba oil, CBD, and all-natural vanilla, Kelly created the formula for Vahi’s flagship product: Ovule Sensual Lubricant."
