About me

I chose the name Wabi Sabi for my business as this Japanese ideology really resonates with how I strive to live my life.

Although my chronic illness has physically left me with numerous physical scars, I live my life with a positive attitude.

These scars are my battle wounds, and they remind me daily of how strong I am, for I am unbreakable! The rise in social media has many of us feeling as if we need to present the perfect life online. The almost constant comparison of our lives to others is now proven as being hugely detrimental to our mental health. I think this is the right time to embrace the principals of Wabi Sabi, as this lifestyle is about living modestly, accepting our own imperfections, and learning to be satisfied with what we have.

It is the exact opposite of our typically stressful, busy lives where we often solely focus on achieving perfection in all areas. You can bring some Wabi Sabi into your life by being humble, warm and kind to others. If you are hung up on a flaw you believe you have, maybe this is the time to consider shifting your perspective and view it instead as a part of you to embrace wholeheartedly.

And why the elephant in my logo? Well, I have always been really drawn to elephants and the “Land of Smiles”, Thailand, because of its natural beauty, delicious cuisine, fascinating culture and most of all, the country’s friendly people.

I hope to one day visit this amazing place and to have the opportunity to work in an ethical elephant sanctuary and I am studying the Thai language towards making this dream come true. For me, elephants stand for strength, love and protection, kindness and caring, family, loyalty, overcoming obstacles and for wisdom and good fortune. In short…. I just described my spirit animal.

I carefully created my logo as I wanted to show that even though the circle is imperfect, it is beautiful regardless. And the elephant on the rope symbolizes that no matter how impossible it seems; you can overcome obstacles if you have the courage to take a chance.

Stop comparing your life. Start living it.
