About me:


After the birth of my twins, and the loss of a body that was very forgiving no matter what I put into it, I went on a huge journey to accept the person I now see in the mirror, and love myself in the skin Im in.

I'm not someone who wants to spend a huge amount of time "putting on my face."I would prefer to spend anytime Iv'e got soaking up all the goodness you get from looking up at the moon and stars, feeling the sun on my face, and having my bare feet walk on lush grass or warm, soft sand.

I believe true beauty comes from what we put into our minds, our bodies and on our skin.

Lua was born from a desire to use the plants and ingredients Mother Nature provides to create products that nourish the skin, and make you feel good about yourself when you use them.

Ive used my knowledge in natural medicine, incorporating wild crafted, carefully designed combinations to produce products that not only smell and feel good to use, but help the body.

Ive taken traditional practices and ingredients produced in our beautiful Aotearoa, and integrated them with modern concepts to create my ranges.

Our bodies deserve to be loved at each stage of our lives.

Lua is my gift to myself, and to all woman (and men!) who want to nourish their skin.

Take time out. Focus on yourself. Slow down. Add ritual and meaning to your day.

And allow lua to enhance what is already there.
