    A long-form reflection on what shaped us, what we’re building, and how it might touch your life.

  • Personal letter to our Friends

    For decades we’ve navigated the challenges of raising children with undiagnosed mental-health needs, managing family stress, work pressure, and illness — often carrying more than anyone realised.

    In recent years, with the support of a small community who understands these experiences, we’ve learned how essential self-care truly is. Even the smallest moments of calm can help us keep going when life feels overwhelming.

  • If nothing changes nothing changes

    I DIDN’T CAUSE IT. I CAN’T CONTROL IT. I CAN’T CURE IT.

    We’ve been quietly working on something for quite a while now — it grew out of our own self-care and our hope to give back and help build communities like the one that supported us over the last five years.
