Let's Celebrate!

We believe in people over profit and providing our community with the tools needed to better ourselves as individuals,” stated Sebastian Mancera, co-founder of Juicelation. “We firmly believe it all begins with food choices. By sourcing only 100 percent organic produce and connecting with multiple local organic farmers, we feel confident in the quality and purity of our products. With knowledgeable nutritional therapists on staff, we want Juicelation to be a pleasant and professional place where one can better your life.”
