I’ve always had a deep-rooted need for creativity, a trait that I believe stems from the challenges I faced being born singlehanded, which forced me to find inventive ways to approach everyday tasks. Several years ago, this craving for creativity led me to embark on a soap-making adventure with my daughter. Little did I know that this would mark the beginning of an exciting journey.

Inspired by the world of soap-making, I decided to expand my horizons by taking classes from renowned experts in aromatherapy and holistic skincare. My driving motivation was to seek natural solutions for hydrating my skin and nurturing my body without exposing it to the harsh chemicals often found in commercial products. In April 2022, my husband and I embarked on a new chapter in our lives by moving to Selwyn Township, perched at the northern tip of Peterborough. We became proud owners of a charming 4-acre 1850’s stone farmhouse. Here, I’ve transformed a spacious studio into my creative sanctuary, where I wholeheartedly indulge in my passion.

While our primary residence is the farmhouse, we still treasure our almost 30-year-old cottage in Coe Hill on the picturesque Wollaston Lake.

As we all know, our skin can become especially vulnerable during the harsh cold winters. While aging is inevitable, we can certainly slow down its pace by nourishing our bodies both from the inside with wholesome foods and from the outside with products lovingly handcrafted from pure, health-inducing ingredients.

I’m not just confined to my studio; my love for travel has taken me far and wide. My journeys have led me to Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Morocco, and India, each destination a source of inspiration and a treasure trove of unique ingredients that I incorporate into my products.

I take immense joy in creating an array of one-of-a-kind products, from exquisitely crafted soaps to a wide range of body creams, and even eco-friendly shampoo and conditioner bars. My creations are more than skincare; they are an expression of my passion for holistic well-being and natural beauty.

So, whether I’m in my charming stone farmhouse in Selwyn Township or my beloved cottage by Wollaston Lake, my mission remains the same - to create products that not only nourish the skin but also feed the soul with the essence of natural beauty.
