My Story

I'm Cushla and I was born and raised in the beautiful Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. After years of wandering the world, I’m home, where I live with my daughter Olive, my partner Kelvyn, our dog Pfenn, and cat Stripes.

My path has been woven through many worlds — I have a degree in Women’s Studies and Sociology. I’ve studied and practised holistic facial therapy, therapeutic massage, aromatherapy, herbal medicine, professional makeup and holistic well-being. These learnings, qualifications and experience combined with my love of beauty, art and nature coupled with a deep respect for the healing power of plants— have shaped who I am today.
