Christie’s goal is to use the gifts that nature gives us to produce great self-care products that are gentle on the body. Her product line is Onkt Organics, and it encompasses balms, suncare products, toners, and makeup. The original intent of these products was simply to improve the health and take better care of her family. Now she’s sharing her products with the world.
The flagship product in the Onkt Organics line is Gramma’s Salve. The foundation of this product is an old family recipe. Gramma’s Salve speeds up the healing process for cuts and scrapes and provides relief for muscle aches.

Testimonials
Kim A: “This was our first time to the island and the pictures were spot on. I was so excited and pleased with everything from stepping out of our car and meeting Christine to her showing us around. I could not stop saying how adorable it was. The steam/rain shower was “da bomb!” Charlie the cat was a great addition to the whole place. I know we will be back and maybe before the summer is done. Our 29th Anniversary getaway weekend was perfect from the gorgeous weather to the comfy, warm welcome at Freshwater Retreat & Remedies.”
Heather K: “Christie made us feel so at home! We are heading back to the mainland with a new outlook as well as new friends. This was a truly restorative weekend for us. Comfy beds, amazing products for sale in the Shoppe, and a light organic breakfast which we really appreciated each morning. We can’t wait to come back – highly recommend this B&B if you need to unplug and recharge!”
