About Me

Hi, I’m Lisa

I created this blog to help you learn everything you could ever want to know about capsules.  I Hope to offer simple capsule filling advice mixed with some pointers, tips, and inspiration.  I can help you with calculations, recipes, saving money, and saving time.   I hope my blog helps you learn everything you want to know about capsule filling.  I’ve tried to cover every how, what, why, where, and when.

My Story

When I saw my first capsule filling machine back in 1997, I was so excited! It opened up a whole new dimension to my herbal studies.  It was a Cap-M-Quik filler and I dreamed of all the herbal combinations I could make to help my friends and family.  I had been studying naturopathic medicine at the time and found the subject of herbology fascinating.  I still do, actually.

I eventually ended up owning my own herbal retail business which specialized in organic bulk herbs, essential oils, and Cap-M-Quik capsule fillers.  I also offered a custom capsule filling service where customers would ask for specific combinations and I would create and fill them. Customers loved it.  I sold the business a few years ago and thought I retired at the age of 46.

I keep busy on my 100-year old fruit orchard and get my photo inspiration from the rustic beauty of the antique apple pressing equipment here on my property.  I live in New York State’s beautiful Hudson Valley with my two teenage boys and two crazy dogs.   In my spare time I garden, renovate my old home by myself, and I love to tinker with herbal formulas and natural remedies.
