Elephant and Moon was created during a time when everything felt fractured.

A few years ago, a situation in my working life deeply affected me, 
causing my mental health and wellbeing to take a downward turn.

It was an incredibly difficult time. I lost all confidence in myself,
and felt vulnerable in ways I had
never felt before. 

But through it all, two very special people in my life stood beside me,
 strong, steady and unwavering,
fighting my corner and holding me close.
 I will carry that love and strength with me always,
Thank you 🤍

Somewhere within that, things began to shift.
It forced me to stop, step back, and look at what actually mattered.

I had to rebuild myself slowly,
I had to reconnect,
I had to find calm again.
Not all at once — but gently, in my own time.

During that time, I started creating. What began as simple body scrub
made for someone close to me who struggles with very sensitive skin,
as well as finding good quality products that wouldn't react or
cause irritation to their skin,
became something more than I ever expected.

I wasn’t just making products. I was creating moments of pause.
Moments where everything could slow down.
Where the noise could soften, and where I could breathe again.

I began to create something gentle. Something that felt safe.
Something that brought comfort — not just to the skin, but to the mind.

I spent time researching & choosing the right oils, and blends.
testing, refining and educating myself until everything felt right.

Then one night, trust me I know how this is going to sound to some,
i had an experience I can only describe as being spiritually guided.

As i slept, I was shown the exact formulation and oil blends,
to use in order to create our botanical soak. Oils I had never
heard of nor used before, let alone understood the effects they
had on our nervous system. 

It's worth noting, that up until this point I had no plans 
whatsoever to create anything other than our scrubs.
However, I trusted what i had been given and set about the very next day ordering ingredients and creating-exactly the way I had been shown in my dream.

This was originally given to me as a foot soak, but as I began to create,
and the aromas of the essential oils filled the air, I knew it would also
be perfect as a whole-body soak. 

And from that guidance, Rest and Reset was born.  

Creating became part of my healing.
Blending oils, working slowly, taking time — it grounded me.
 It gave me space to come back to myself.

And from that place of fragility and uncertainty Elephant and Moon grew.

It wasn’t created from perfection,
It was created from vulnerability,
From needing something softer,
From learning how to take care of wellbeing and mental health in a gentler way.

And that is what I want to share.

Because we all carry things.
We all have moments where life feels too much.
And sometimes, what we need isn’t more — it’s less.

Less noise.
Less pressure.
Less demand.
More calm.
More softness. 
More moments of pause. 

Elephant And Moon is about creating those moments,
A moment to pause,
A moment to breathe & 
A moment to come back to yourself

      Sometimes we need
      to disconnect 
      in order to reconnect.
