Our Why
The Wellbeing Store journey began when I was undergoing breast cancer treatment and received a huge amount of flowers. So many I could have set up a florist! On the opposite end, people just simply stopped calling...radio silence. I realised that people don’t know what to do or say when ‘life happens’, and no offence to flowers (as my name means flower!), yet they don’t quite cut it.
So, whilst recovering from treatment in bed, tapping into my super power for finding unique gifts to ‘take me away’ from how I was feeling during treatment. I spent countless hours sourcing beautiful wellbeing products from other amazing small businesses to create a range of beautiful wellbeing gift boxes that are purposeful, beautiful and foster wellbeing for all life moments - whether they be happy moments or tough ones.
More than that, as a Wellbeing expert, trainer and coach, I designed these wellbeing gift boxes with purpose, to help nurture, calm and support someone through their wellbeing journey and all of life moments.
I am passionate about creating a beautiful gifting experience in store and online, where every purchase is mindful, meaningful and will make a lasting impression. All of our products are hand wrapped with love in our signature eco friendly tissue paper and personal touches like hand written messages to make a lasting impact for the receiver.
Building this business fills my cup and I cannot wait to see all the magic you create with your gift-giving journey.
Well Wishes

My Wellbeing Story
I once thought I was 'Wonder Woman'. Invincible. I could do it all. Have it all. An overachiever workaholic who thrived on stress and challenge. So much so, I worked myself sick. Real sick. Never get better kind of sick.
Over the last 10 years, I have battled to stay alive. It took me losing everything, including my health, to learn what truly matters to me. I have defied all odds surviving and keep getting up to face every day with a smile on my face embracing all that life has to offer - 'The Happy Warrior'. I have battled not one but two chronic illnesses, a rare and non-curable autoimmune disease, Sarcoidosis, and in the last two years, Breast Cancer too. I have now failed all treatment and am here for a good time, not a long time.
