inspired after spending some time
in Provence in the south of France,
studying advanced aromatherapy and
because I had spent so many years
(and dollars!) trying to find the perfect
products for my sensitive skin – I
wanted to create product that would be
balancing, nurturing and anti-ageing
for the skin.
It all began on my kitchen bench and
at the time the natural health store
I owned was the perfect platform
the begining I’ve focused on investing
in people first. After all, it’s a team that
builds a brand.
I went on to inspire and change the
global spa industry, educating people
about the benefits of chemical-free
skincare. I was a pioneer at the time,
breaking down barriers about the
efficacy of therapeutic-grade natural
skincare products in the spa industry.

for me to sell the products and get
feedback. Quickly the demand became
overwhelming and my home-made
skincare products flew off the shelf. My
first batch of 50 moisturisers lasted just
three-and-a-half days!
From the start I’ve done things quite
differently at Sodashi, being a pioneer
in the chemical-free skincare and spa
industry with products that deliver
exceptional results. Importantly, from
70 luxury hotels, resort and stand-alone
spas, in 25 countries globally, including
the prestigious Four Seasons George
V in Paris, Wolgan Valley Resort &
Spa in New South Wales and The
Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong
Kong.
But being a game changer is not always
easy. You have to know how to deal
with adversity as things don’t always go
your way!
