After spending 3 years feeling unfulfilled in a sales job, 2020 came along and changed my life forever. The combined toll of the pandemic, being made redundant, and my dad passing away from cancer, left me battling severe anxiety and depression. It was a tough year, but with the support of my loved ones and a course of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), things started to get better.
In therapy, I was taught the 5 senses mindfulness technique which helped me manage my symptoms. By engaging all 5 of my senses, I was able to find moments of mental clarity in a time of chaos and eventually kickstart my wellbeing journey. That’s when I had my lightbulb moment.
I went back to university to study for a master’s degree, discovered the power of essential oils and aromatherapy, and spent months investigating the effects of scent on the human brain. My own experience had proven how incredibly valuable our senses can be, yet I couldn’t find a brand that offered multisensory wellbeing products, involving all 5 senses.
I devoted the next 2 years of my course to developing an entire collection of multisensory products, specifically devised to engage the 5 senses and create a complete wellbeing routine. In 2022, Sam’s Naturally Handmade launched, and I embarked on a new journey helping others improve their wellbeing too
Engage all 5 of your senses as you discover the specially curated mood-matching playlist and mindfulness routine included with every product. All our home fragrance products are made with 100% pure essential oils, and coconut and soy wax, with candles presented in handmade and handpainted vessels. In addition, each 30cl candle comes with a seed bomb to plant, giving your handmade vessel a new lease of life as a beautiful plant pot. Simply add compost, water and watch your new plant blossom!
