Meet Our Team
Jane Barlow-Christensen
Owner, Master Herbalist, Chief Visionary Officer
Jane grew up with herbs throughout her entire life. She learned her father’s trade and gained knowledge working side by side with him in the field. From learning the precise harvesting seasons for each herb type to the specific ways to dry, process, and create potent concentrated extracts, jane truly understands how to capture the strength from the earth.
Jane’s passion for the beauty industry, coupled with her Master Herbalist knowledge, provides a unique edge when creating very specialized health & beauty products. She spends years researching and carefully formulating healthy products she uses and endorses.
“I personally guarantee our herbal extracts are made with the purest ingredients. It brings me great joy to pass on the traditions of my family and release the formulas that my father and I have developed to the public.”- Jane Barlow
Glena Christensen
Customer Service Manager
Although Glena manages our customer service experience, she has many responsibilities at Barlow Herbal. Everything from production and inventory to processing, packing orders, and working directly with customers.
Glena happily admits that she is slightly obsessed with the natural world and taking charge of her health which started in childhood. Her journey eventually led her to meet Jane in 2004, when she began with Barlow Herbal. Glena uses the knowledge she has gained through her tenure, along with her BA in Psychology and thirst for holistic education, to drive the growth of Barlow Herbal.
Glena, and her husband Scott, another team member, are raising the next generation of the Barlow Herbal team.
“When I’m not at work or with my family, you can find me working out, reading, playing soccer, walking my dogs, or playing outside. Hike anyone?” – Glena Christensen
Brian Christensen

As Jane’s son, Brian has been a part of Barlow Herbal his entire life but has officially been a full-time employee since 2014. He learned his knowledge of herbs from his grandfather, who taught him to wildcrafted herbs as a child. He spearheads our harvesting and highly-effective processing methods, distilling our herbal remedies’ purest forms. He has taken LDM- 100 since infancy and can personally attest to the health benefits of herbal medicines. Brian is passionate about being part of a company that promotes real healing through healthful products. He is physically active and enjoys indoor and outdoor pursuits supporting his lifestyle.

Michelle Bawden
Customer Service and Relations
I began working with Barlow Herbal full time in 2019 but have worked with Jane on and off for over 15 years. I took a 13-year break to satisfy my passion with animals in the dog grooming world. I was raised in a household where western medicine was the only way I knew, and Jane is the one that opened me up to the amazing world of alternative medicine. As a skeptic by nature due to this upbringing, the biggest eye opener for me was seeing the benefits with my own pets. I have been told that animals that need the special attention and advocacy tend to find me, and through this I have learned to find and research alternative treatments for my pets when the traditional veterinarians are unwilling too.
Besides animals, sports are another passion of mine. I have played soccer consistently since grade school and love lifting weights, hiking, biking, camping and fly fishing with my husband and our two dogs. If I’m not doing any of those things, you will probably find me reading or with my sister/best friend Glena.
I truly believe that health is a lifestyle and not an option. I want to help as many people (and their pets) as possible thrive through life, not just survive, and working at Barlow Herbal has given me that opportunity.
