Tis the Season and for those who do gifts, I wanted to put together a guide of some incredible businesses that I’ve come across, had the pleasure of working with or am lucky enough to call friends. You can be sure that the options on this list are non-toxic, responsibly sourced and you’re supporting small businesses.
Coming in Hot with Adaptogenic Warm Beverages
A perfect way to get cozy at home with a hot drink that will calm those frazzled nerves.
They’ve got both stocking filler options with the sachets, but you can also go big with the gifting packs.I was lucky enough to do some filming with the wonderful Katia earlier this year and we had a ball - there are a few clips flying around on TikTok if that’s your social media of choice. The editing team cut out most of the hysterical laughter though - no blooper reel yet. I love these blends as each has a particular body system in mind, I frequently recommend them as an intervention that support clients with a little ritual moment everyday. A lot more meaningful than popping another supplement.
Who Doesn’t love a Sustainable and Non Toxic Scented Candle?
I certainly do <3
Scented Candles
Most people I know enjoy a scented candle, what a lot of people don’t realise is that candles using synthetic fragrance are full of endocrine disrupting chemicals.
I came across a gorgeous brand a few days ago and met the lovely owner Maame. Not only are the fragrances created using essential oil blends (hormone friendly) but they also have an incredible concept that you can refill the containers once you’ve finished one candle because they sell wax refills (sustainable).

My all time favourite moisturiser
If you love a nourishing night cream - this is for you
One of my absolute favourite skincare brands is Therapi – I came across them in 2017 at an Organic Beauty event and I have slowly convinced them (Tanya and Esme) to be my friends ever since.
They also happen to sell my favourite moisturiser on the planet – the propolis cream. They are a mother-daughter team to be reckoned with and do a lot of work outside the brand to support regenerative agriculture through beekeeping.
The lip balm is an absolutely perfect stocking filler, the Propolis Radiance Cream and the Biome oil definitely belong under the tree though!
You can use code HORMONIOUSLY for a little discount (not valid with any other promotions they’ve got)

The gift of energy healing
This year has been tough - if your loved one is looking for some holistic energy healing - why not gift a Reiki or Breathwork session?
If you’d like to gift something more experiential, that is an absolute game changer for processing and managing stress – why not consider Reiki and Breathwork? The wonderful Erica offers either Reiki or Breathwork or a combination of the two. Her background is in medicine as a GP and she uses an integrative and holistic approach.
