Bekkah Morris

Manager at Taunton Bay Kratom

I'm 35, live in Downeast, Maine, & I'm an active mom of 4 boys plus a bonus daughter in college. My husband & I both deal with chronic illness, but I have a medical list a mile long. I'm Autistic, a Cervical Cancer survivor, & I've had over 20 surgeries in my life. But what affects me most today is the recurring Neurological Lyme Disease. For over a decade I've experienced some pretty severe symptoms - everything from encephalitis & radiculitis, to joint swelling & sudden panic-like attacks brought on by nerve damage.

I found kratom in 2012/2013 when I was healing from a very painful surgery. It was a horrible experience that stuck with me for life. But it motivated me to help myself & that's when I stumbled upon a wealth of positive kratom experiences in a forum online. When I tried kratom for the first time, I knew it was the right solution for me. I felt uplifted, empowered, & like the "old me" again. It helped ease my discomfort & stiffness. My family & I became instant kratom supporters! I've since been able to get back to work, being active with my kids, & still have enough energy for my hobbies, like makeup art & genealogy.

When the kratom community started growing online, I was offered a job with Taunton Bay Kratom in 2014. They're an amazing family-owned shop who really cares about kratom & the community, so I never left. We will continue to advocate for kratom legality, adequate quality assurance practices for vendors, & I so look forward …
