Finding our Calling
Our story began in Arizona in 2017, Rishi Khubani, who was traveling for work, made a new friend while in a rideshare. After being told a horrific story about his driver’s wife’s condition in which she experienced adverse effects of prescription drugs, it led to an often fatal disease called sepsis.
After hearing about the adversity they faced and learning about their use of CBD to help with her recovery, a partnership was formed with the mission to make healing & restoration accessible to all using the power of CBD combined with clean and uncompromising natural ingredients.
The Next Chapter
Hi, my name is Charmayne, I joined Live Rishi in 2020 because the founders believed in me, and I believed in their mission. So when in 2022, the opportunity to own Live Rishi was presented, it made perfect sense to me.
For my husband and I, it was love at first sight. An unexpected meeting of 2 beings meant to find each other. We love unplanned adventures, camping and lake trips with our son Josh and our dog Minnie. We live in the Valley of the Sun, so the great outdoors are always calling us away. When we are not working or out sharing the gift of CBD with others, we can be found adventuring as a family or on the sidelines of a wrestling mat, cheering on Josh in competitive sport.

In 2013, our lives would forever be changed when my husband Marvin was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a debilitating arthritic disease, for which there is no cure. He was in constant pain and the joint stiffness he experienced became so severe that he often needed my assistance with small tasks such as buttoning his shirts and tying his boots every morning. He was progressing rapidly and soon unable to participate in family activities as often, and when he did, he silently suffered while trying to enjoy life’s most precious gift, time spent with family.
After years of pain management and rheumatologist visits, the only answers we received came in the form of additional pain medications. Soon, he was taking up to 14 medications a day. We were told that by the time he was 50 years old, he would require the aide of a walker or wheelchair for the rest of his life. He had already lost his hair and by this point, about 60 pounds just from the medications. We felt defeated and were so heartbroken over the diagnoses and answers we were receiving, there just had to be another way. So, I began researching ways to treat his symptoms at home. We significantly modified our diet, began exercising regularly and concocting home remedies for pain relief from my native background. Through our efforts, we gained a deep passion for health, wellness and organic living.
This is when we fatefully found CBD by Live Rishi.
At first, we were given a jar of the rub, then we were given a bottle of the drops. It did not take long for Marvin to begin feeling the benefits from the amazing combination of ingredients. Autoimmune disorders are often painful with a multitude of symptoms that vary from person to person. For my husband, the pain and inflammation was centered around his hands, spine and feet. He began using the rub for quick pain relief results. He used the drops to help with the inflammation and mood changes from the constant pain. We would learn so much over the next few years about the other amazing benefits of the regimen he had started. With his doctors consent, we began weaning him from his biologicals and pain medications one at a time, with great success. We would soon get our lives back on track, with on the go care that came in the form of a little blue jar or bottle. Through our new lifestyle, we have been successful in managing the symptoms of his disease and improving his quality of life. In 2020, I began working for Live Rishi. Throughout my role, I learned every aspect of the business, from assembly, accounting, production and quality control. I poured my heart into learning more about the ingredients used to make the products. I became immersed in ensuring quality was always a top priority in and outside of the lab. With my background in business and finance, I would quickly work my way up to become CFO and always utilized my skills in other areas of the office, learning, teaching and growing.
The opportunity to take over Live Rishi in 2022, gave us a new passion for sharing and teaching about the benefits of CBD and organic living with others that feel as helpless as we did. We will continue to keep our products affordable and attainable for all. We promise that quality will never be compromised and when you reach out to Live Rishi, we can assure that you will receive the best support in our industry. We have been truly blessed by CBD and health our way and I am so thankful to have my husband back!
We look forward to meeting and helping many of you on our journey.
