Being holistic from my kitchen...
My name is Sallyanne, I am a working mummy who loves to make essential oil blends and other products when I can, around being a busy mum. Over the last few years I have worked with essential oils through my work as a holistic massage therapist. I cannot get enough of their magical natural benefits, beautiful scents and the ability to heal the mind and the body. During my first pregnancy with Hunter, I started to take on more of a holistic approach to what I was using on my skin as I started to get bad eczema on my hand during pregnancy. I started to look at how chemicals in household products and skin care could be the cause of this flare up. I first started to make my own household cleaning products using essential oils, white vinegar and bicarbonate soda. My eczema slowly went and I was amazed. This set me off on my chemical free journey and I found myself obsessed with finding out more information. One book that inspired me was 'Imperfectly Natural Woman: Getting Life Right the Natural Way' by Janey Lee Grace.

Hunter was born in August 2012 and shortly after he was born he developed patches of eczema on his skin. I started experimenting by make my own balms with essential oils to massage into his skin. This saved me from using the steroid cream the doctor wanted to give him, and I felt better as I was using something so natural and organic that actually worked!
â
My friends started to ask if I could make them their own unique essential oil blend and organically, Holistic Kitchen started to grow.
â
During my second pregnancy with Luna, I started to experiment with more essential oil blends and products suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding to use on myself, and now, those products, such as Mamas Comfort and Bump, Boobs & Baby Balm, are my best selling products from the pregnancy range.
â
I use 100% therapeutic grade essential oils and raw organic ingredients in all my handmade products.
ââ
I appreciate all the support and loyalty from my customers, friends and family, as without you, this wouldn't be happening for me.

Finally, thank you to the universe for guiding me through life and helping me on my bumpy journey to creating Holistic Kitchen products.
