Who Are We?
We are Koren Barnwell and Mark Dunn and we have been natural healthcare practitioners for over 20 years. We decided to start using CBD oil ourselves in 2016 as we were curious about its benefits following the numerous inspiring stories we were hearing.
A few months later we shared our CBD with a friend who was undergoing intensive hospital treatment and we were amazed by the health-giving properties that our friend experienced from CBD during this time. The excitement we felt soon spread amongst friends, along with an interest in trying our CBD oil and so we decided to offer CBD to a wider audience.
The Bristol CBD network has been growing ever since, as has our passion to share this wonderful plant extract with as many people as possible. Our mission is to provide high quality CBD and pother natural health products at affordable prices and continue educating people about how to use these products.
We have sourced the finest quality hemp and mushroom extracts from across Europe and the US and are proud to be able to offer such potent CBD products at affordable prices. Koren also handcrafts a range of beautiful CBD skin products from natural and organic ingredients and our friends at Radek Chocolates make our range of delicious CBD chocolates.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about our CBD or medicinal mushroom products – we are here to help you.
Bristol CBD shares its profits by supporting charities in the UK and beyond:
1. Treesisters
For many years we have been proud to support Treesisters in their mission to fund ethical, community-led tree planting projects that take direct climate action, empower women and champion local and indigenous communities. By supporting TreeSisters, we contribute to a sustainable future, while also promoting the empowerment of women as key leaders in the fight against environmental degradation.
Every time you order from us you are contributing towards planting more trees and helping to foster biodiversity and fund ecological education.
2. Bristol Refugee Festival
We support refugees through donating to Bristol Refugee Festival which is the South West’s only festival for, with and by refugees. The festival brings communities together to connect, share and celebrate and gives refugees and asylum seekers an opportunity to meet people, perform, trade, gain vital employment skills and become active members of their communities.
Supporting this festival aligns with our commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and the empowerment of marginalised communities.
3. Sustrans
We support Sustrans because it is dedicated to creating healthier, more sustainable communities by promoting walking, cycling, and the development of safe, accessible infrastructure. Their work in transforming public spaces, reducing carbon emissions, and encouraging active travel helps improve physical and mental well-being, while also addressing critical environmental issues like climate change and air pollution.
By supporting Sustrans, we contribute to building a future where sustainable transportation options are available to all, fostering healthier lifestyles and greener, more livable cities.
4. AfriPads
We support AfriPads in Kampala, Uganda because of their crucial role in improving menstrual health and hygiene for women and girls across Africa. By producing affordable, reusable sanitary pads, AfriPads helps break the cycle of period poverty, enabling girls to stay in school and women to pursue their daily activities without interruption. Their mission not only promotes gender equality but also offers an environmentally sustainable solution by reducing waste from disposable products.
Through empowering communities and addressing this critical need, AfriPads contributes to improved education, health, and economic opportunities for women and girls.

Meet The Bristol CBD Team
Mark Dunn
Mark Dunn
Mark Dunn is a mindfulness and positive thinking coach based in Bristol. A keen surfer, traveller and explorer of wellness techniques, Mark started taking CBD in 2016 and found the benefits to be profound.
“I immediately wanted to offer CBD to everyone and soon realised that a lot of people were struggling to find really good quality CBD at a fair price.
In 2017 Mark started producing CBD oil with his partner, Koren, because ‘we felt that we could offer remarkably good CBD oil at a really affordable price.
The rest is history.
“More and more people bless us with their trust and we feel a deep responsibility to ensure that we earn that trust."

Koren Barnwell
Koren has over 25 years of experience working in various naturopathic medicine modalities. With a background in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine and more than a decade working specifically with bowel health problems alongside health coaching, Koren has a wealth of knowledge to share.
“I have worked with a multitude of health issues over the decades, supporting clients through all kinds of emotional, physical and spiritual crises. I feel there is much to be said about a simple approach to wellness and I believe that by reducing stress alone, healing can occur more readily. That’s why I was initially so drawn to CBD products.
I am wholeheartedly committed to the health and well-being of our clients, but I mostly believe in empowering people to help themselves. The abundance of positive feedback that we have received about our CBD products over the years is truly heart-warming and humbling and continually motivates me to keep sharing the CBD love. CBD is the perfect addition to your ‘self-help’ tool kit."
