“The choice of Talley Sjoberg as a keynote speaker was excellent, she was very impressive and the topics were relevant.”
Regional Educator Professional Development Conference, Bali
"I highly recommend Clearly Sage Organics!! Due to several factors, I had been feeling anxious and the consultation left me feeling heard, understood and supported! And the oils I received were fantastic! I use them whenever I feel a little too anxious and within minutes I find myself feeling centered again. The whole experience was truly a gift!"
Kirsten, USA
"Information was valuable indeed for mental health."
Managing Stress & Thriving Abroad Workshop, Kazakhstan
"I'm always looking for things to do with my children. I specifically look for experiences rather than just go to a play arena. When I found this workshop I thought it was a good plan to spend some time with my child. But it was so much more. We got home with a bag full of beautiful soap, materials to keep producing at home and even a business idea"to bring rich selling soap" according to my daughter. Truly an investment."
Gabi, Ecuador
"The blend Talley prepared for is a perfect combination that I enjoy using at varying times on any given day for a variety of different reasons. Thank you Talley for bringing me a little peace and a reminder to take a step back and reflect on life!"
Amy, Austria
“Being a busy working mama, the lavender soap was exactly what I needed to feel calm and relaxed, and left me refreshed! Something everyone needs, even if it’s a 10 minute escape in the shower!”
Steph, USA
"The Wounded Warrior" blend from Talley has been fantastic! I use it before sports to loosen up areas with old injuries, and then again after as an anti-inflammatory. The roll-on is easy to keep in my gym bag."
Jeff, Slovakia
"I love the blend Talley made for me. I especially appreciated her careful research on what I like and what I don't like in order to tailor make it for me. That showed me that she truly cared. And that is what matters the most nowadays."
Lenka, Slovakia
