I’m Katie,

The daughter of Alyson (the wonderful lady who started ‘Hives and Herbals). I am also now the owner of this bee-autiful business!

Before I took over from my Mum, I was working mostly in high pressure retail roles, while being undiagnosed with AuDHD. My mental health was causing me a lot of pain.

I feel very blessed that my Mum was ready to step back from Hives and Herbals. She gave me the gift of working for myself, which in turn gave me much needed space to heal.

My passion for Hives and Herbals continues to expand every day and I’m honestly so excited to keep growing, learning and creating within this incredible space.

I’ve always had sensitive skin and I really believe in the theory ‘if I can’t eat this safely, then it shouldn’t be on my skin!’. There are definitely tastier things to eat than our skincare but the point being… Mother nature provides us with so many ways to look after our skin, why taint that with alcohol and chemicals while ruining our environment in the process?!

Sending so much love to all who support, your purchases allow me to do what I love and that has genuinely been life changing
