Behind the Bruises and Scars
I experienced a serious slip and fall that caused significant injury to my right arm, including my shoulder, rotator cuff, bicep tendon, and elbow. It was a painful and life changing moment that affected my mobility and daily life.
In August 2023, I underwent my first surgery. The procedure required the use of medical hardware to repair and stabilize my arm. No additional injuries resulted from my first surgery. Afterward, I committed to 12 weeks of intensive physical therapy, working hard to regain strength, movement, and independence.
By June 2024, I began experiencing pain again. After further evaluation, I was told that my rotator cuff and bicep tendon had not fully healed. I then underwent a second surgery. No additional injuries resulted from my second surgery. I completed another 12 weeks of physical therapy around September 2024.
Just when I thought I was healing, the pain returned in March 2025. I was overwhelmed emotionally, physically, and spiritually. After additional testing, I was told I would need a third surgery.
I struggled deeply with that news. I questioned everything: my strength, my journey, and even my purpose in the process. I did not want to go through another surgery, but I also knew I needed healing.
In January 2026, I underwent my third surgery. There were no additional injuries during or as a result of any of these three surgical procedures that caused me to continue having surgeries. The second and third surgeries were necessary because my original injuries had not fully healed. The recovery was challenging and extended for many months, and there were moments when I felt
discouraged and exhausted.
On April 7, 2026, while leaving physical therapy, I was rear-ended by an SUV. The collision caused additional injuries to my right arm, neck, and back, leading to four additional months of physical therapy.
But even in my lowest moments, I never stopped praying. While praying, God told me which healing ingredients to use. That divine guidance led me to create LorJae’s Renewal Healing Cream.
Testimony of Faith
I asked God not only to heal my body, but to restore my confidence, my strength, and my spirit. During that time, I began to be inspired to create natural ingredients and formulations to care for my skin and support my healing process.
To my amazement, over time, I began to see real changes my skin improved, my scars softened, and my confidence slowly returned. What started as something deeply personal became something others began to notice as well.
While attending therapy, other patients began asking me what I was using. At first, I kept it private, but eventually I shared that I had created a natural healing body cream that I was using consistently, sometimes three to four times a day.
That moment became a turning point.
What I once considered my private healing journey became a blessing I felt led to share with others. And that is how LorJae’s Healing Body Butter Cream was born.
My motto became:
✨ “Looking better, feeling better.” ✨
Because I truly believe when we begin to feel better in our bodies, we begin to see ourselves differently on the inside as well.
Today, I am grateful to say I am healing, I am stronger, and I am walking in renewed confidence. My arms are no longer something I hide they are a testimony of survival, grace, and restoration.
