Nancy Rothner wants a Shark investor for Pich Me, her aromatic therapy dough, in Shark Tank episode 1217. In addition to running this business, Rothner is a a clinical hypnotherapist who specializes in stress reduction. The concept for her product came to her when she wanted something for her clients that they could take with them and use when they felt stressed.
The so called “placating putty” soothes you as you work it through your hands. Nancy also puts another therapeutic stress reliever to work with Pinch Me: aromatherapy. Pleasant aromas trigger happy thoughts, so adding this component to the relaxing putty kneading ought to un-stress anyone.
A ten ounce tin of dough is $24.99 and a three ounce tin is $14.99. There are twelve scents: Spa, Sun, Ocean, Relief, Zen, Surf, Bumbleberry, Refresh, Chill, Citrus, Spice and Beach. Each scent has a unique color, also designed to be soothing. She also recently introduced Mist Me, aromatherapy mists and scented hand sanitizers. Nancy likely wants a Shark to help blow up her brand.
