Our Story
We are activists for the idea that our bodies are designed to heal. Diseases are symptoms of poor health and can be healed by listening to the body and correcting the root cause.
“Holistic living includes mental and physical health—a balanced life.”
Jonathan Laudon | Co-founder of Sprigs
“The world we’re trying to create empowers people to create a community.”
Nancy Laudon | Co-founder of Sprigs

This is Who We Are
Holistic living is at the heart of what we do. Much like a sprig that needs sunlight to bloom, we believe that a healthy mind and body are essential for optimum growth. Our 100% all-natural herbal supplements empower you and your family to lead happy, wholesome lives.
Our talented team is made up of nutritionists, health advocates, and creatives—all carrying out different roles but sharing similar values. We care about providing you with education, resources, and the right tools to take responsibility for you and your family's health. Each one of us is personally dedicated to helping families reclaim their health. That’s why culture is key within the Sprigs team. It’s something our founders, Nancy and Jonathan Laudon, knew they wanted to cultivate from day one.
Before they became business partners and parents, they were Nancy and Jonathan.
A professional dancer, Nancy was born and raised in New York while Jonathan grew up in a rural part of New York in a Mennonite community (a religious group often mistaken for the Amish). While their upbringings were very different, their personal dedication to healthy living was the same. As a trained athlete, Nancy knew that everything you put in your body mattered. At the same time, Jon was raised in a household where herbs were used instead of traditional medicine. Holistic living became an even bigger priority while raising their first child. All of a sudden, they became faced with the choices on how they were going to raise their child. Should they vaccinate? How often should they go to the pediatrician? Should they even see a pediatrician, or work with a holistic professional? The two were bombarded with so many options—and the more research they did, the more they learned about the hidden dangers of conventional medicine.
“When Anabelle was a year old, I started to realize the way I looked at health and parenting was because it’s what society told me to do—not because it was best for my child. With being a mom, every decision I made was because I had a reason...so I started to do my own research.”
Nancy Laudon | Co-founder of Sprigs
“I feel like we are in a place right now we’ve never seen before, where people are really interested in traditional medicine. They don’t trust the pharmaceutical medication the way they once did, they know that the food pyramid was created to support the corrupted food industry—we’re in this place where we can see the amount of misinformation we’ve been given. We want to help people discover their body's healing potential.”

Now more than ever, families are having to cope with things like autism, ADHD, childhood cancer, diabetes—the list goes on. In many documented cases children are over-medicated, misdiagnosed, and subjected to over 100 different vaccines by the age of two. As parents, Nancy and Jonathan wanted to create a source of education and awareness for other new parents.
That’s why Sprigs was born.
Today, Sprigs partners with over 500 stores across the U.S. to sell our herbal supplements. From prenatals to superfood greens for the whole family, our products are made by hand by leading herbalists in our FDA-inspected facilities. We publish two quarterly magazines and have built a community of moms eager to spread the Sprigs word.
