Our Journey: The Birth of Happy Trails
In 2018, Happy Trails emerged from Kayla's deep-rooted passion for making a genuine difference in people's lives. This is the story of her transformative journey:
After nearly a year of countless consultations with GI specialists, I was finally diagnosed with Sphincter of the Oddi Dysfunction—a rare condition causing severe abdominal pain due to digestive fluid backup. The proposed solution? Surgery.
While the diagnosis brought relief after enduring relentless pain for over a year and a half, the thought of a permanent surgical alteration to my body didn’t resonate with me. I sought an alternative path to healing, which led me to explore the therapeutic potential of cannabinoid therapy and medicinal cannabis. Within just six months of adopting a regimen with a balanced ratio of CBD to THC, I experienced complete healing—without the need for surgery.
Initially, I was hesitant to share my journey due to the legal challenges surrounding cannabis. To heal myself, I had to step outside the law, hiding the fact that I relied on a plant to restore my well-being. It’s disheartening to live in a world where we must conceal our choice to heal naturally. How could something that made my body feel so 'right' be viewed as 'wrong' by society? This experience ignited a deep appreciation for the power of plants and transformed me into a passionate advocate for plant medicine. My vision is to create a world where natural remedies are embraced, not feared or hidden.
A Dream Realized
We opened our first store in June 2018 when I was 7 months pregant with my first son - born from a simple yet powerful dream—to share the life-changing knowledge I had gained. Today, Happy Trails has grown with 3 locations in Wisconsin and two distribution centers; including one in Texas.
We love collaborating with some of the best brands in the industry. When I say 'the best,' I mean those whose moral compass is firmly directed towards helping patients find relief and healing. We remain committed to providing access to natural remedies that have the potential to transform lives, just as they did mine.

Jax
Pet Product Tester
Everyone who has ever met Jax loved him, couldn’t believe he was a gooddog; but Jax had one fear that could stop him in his tracks—thunderstorms and fireworks. The loud booms and flashes of light would send him into a panic, causing him to tremble and seek out the nearest hiding spot. His owners had tried everything to calm him, but nothing seemed to work.
Then, one day, Jax's owner heard about CBD for pets. Skeptical but willing to try anything to help her furry friend, she decided to give it a shot. The first time a storm rolled in, Jax was given a few drops of CBD oil. Within minutes, the shaking subsided, and Jax was able to relax, curling up on his favorite blanket instead of hiding under the bed.
From that day on, CBD became a part of Jax's routine. Whenever a storm was brewing or a holiday with fireworks was near, his owner would give him the CBD, and Jax would stay calm and content. He still plays like a pup, but now, even in the face of his biggest fears, Jax has peace.
And so, Jax continued to live his life with the heart of a young dog, enjoying every moment without fear, thanks to a little help from his new remedy.
