Flying with Air Sunny Isles, North Miami Beach

Flying with Air was founded on April 29, 2019, by human trafficking survivor and former model, Airica Kraehmer (Air), who brought a new meaning and healing pathway to what it means to be a survivor to thriver. Air wanted to bring a natural healing pathway and new tools to survivors of all walks of life in a judgment free, safe place.

Originally, Air had no sights on starting a business. Behind this strong woman is a powerful story that gave her no choice but to launch into entrepreneurship. Despite having a polished resume as a multiple time bestseller author and top of her class bachelor's degrees in chemistry, nutrition and health human sciences, her public status as an advocate and human trafficking survivor was declared too high risk for many employers. As another means of survival, she entered into entrepreneurship to make an income.

With the residual income from her first book, Models Stop Traffic, and her little savings, Air decided to invest in herself and trust her talents and education. The idea that sparked Flying with Air’s first products may have been divinely placed in Air’s mind as result of her need for somatic and spiritual healing. Like most of us, Air spent days looking in the mirror analyzing her appearance and judging her physical flaws due to her trauma. The beautiful model she knew from her youth was now covered in scars. She had tried dozens of products both over the counter and by prescription to erase the damage done to her body. When all failed her, she decided to use her biochemistry, nutrition and plant knowledge to manifest her own solutions.

The first products at Flying with Air were the topical scar oil and headache salve. They are still two the bestsellers today with a full range of herbs, naturally derived skincare, candles, crystals and metaphysical healing tools. To this day all of the products on the shelves of Flying with Air are rooted in her customers requests for their physical, mental and spiritual healing. In seeking out many ways to move forward from her trauma, Air committed to physical, mental and spiritual health.
