Hi there, I’m Sophie
Welcome to my little nook on the internet, where I'm on a mission to help you find calm in the hustle and bustle of modern life.
I discovered slow living two years ago after dealing with burnout and adrenal fatigue from too much stress. There had to be a better way, right?
On the surface, I had it all—a cosy place to call home, a husband and two beautiful kids, freedom from the 9-5, and my own studio shop for my candle business. But something was still missing. Why wasn't it enough?
A Fresh Start
We now live in a world full of distractions, with social media putting the entire world at our fingertips. We carry this constant connection everywhere we go. But we weren't designed for this; we weren't meant to have the world at our fingertips all the time.
From a young age, we're conditioned to constantly achieve: go to school, excel in our studies, get good grades, go to college or university, land a good job, get married—you get the picture. We're pushed down this path of hustle and achievement, but does it truly leave us feeling fulfilled? It sure didn't for me.
As I grew up, I followed that path. I bought the house, filled it with all the nice things, chased the latest Instagram interior trends... but I felt like I was constantly chasing something, filling a void. I wasn't really living.
That's when I decided to quit it all. I left my candle studio, simplified my life, minimized my possessions, slowed down, and stripped everything back. Then something amazing happened—I got to know Sophie.
Discovering Natural Healing
Around this time, I discovered the amazing benefits of naturally extracted oils. I started using them in my candle-making process, creating candles that not only smelled wonderful but also helped promote rest and recovery. This was more than just a change in my business; it was a way for me to help others find the peace and relaxation I had discovered.
Embracing Slow Living
Do you feel overwhelmed by the busyness of modern life?
Do you find yourself constantly comparing your life to the latest Instagram trends?
Are you feeling worn out, tired, and stressed?
Do you want your home to feel like a sanctuary, a place where you can truly rest after a busy day?
I'm here to help and inspire you to slow down, simplify your life, and start living authentically.
I want to show you that slow living isn't just another Instagram trend. You can slow down and simplify your life, even with children.
I hope you'll join me and discover the benefits of slowing down, just as I have.
