Coffee is our family business, so we have been emerged in the coffee industry almost our whole lives. We started to take interest when we were in our teens and have ever since been working with coffee. We recently created NO-DÄ Coffee during 2020 and started our own venture with our blends.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙?
NO-DÄ Coffee is unique, as it is coffee blends crafted specific to alternative milks to create more tasteful and flavoursome alt milk coffees. Our blends pair the flavours from the coffee origins with the non-dairy milk it is intended for. This then eliminates the bitterness and harsh aftertastes that some coffee blends create that were not designed to encompass the flavours of alternative milks.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑌𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑎 𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠?
We grew up in the foothills of the Yarra Ranges, often spending time connecting to nature in the surrounding forests and walking tracks.. as well as checking out all of the beautiful cafes in the hills!

𝐴𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑢𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ?
We pride ourselves on our knowledge we hold of the coffee industry and further, our extensive experience and qualifications for creating blends. We have a combined 7 years of being Quality Control Officers at a coffee roastery where we developed our skills in understanding the processes and procedures of coffee in all phases.

Evening everyone. How great was the news yesterday for local businesses! We are so excited to see our local businesses coming back to life and we'll be ramping up our promotions and showcasing them here as they join our directory**.

We're proud to introduce Monique and Adrian from Three Mamas. Here is what Monique had to say about their awesome local business.

𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅?
Three Mamas deodorant has been around for nearly 10 years. My husband Adrian and I bought the business 2 years ago and we are located in The Basin.

𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔?

The mission – to rid the world of stinky armpits using only natural ingredients! Three Mamas was started out of frustration caused by wanting to use a chemical free deodorant but not being able to find one that actually worked. After much trial and error and testing on stinky humans, an effective formula was developed and the business has grown from there.

𝑪𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒔?
Now owned by a Mama and a Papa, the business was started by two mums. Using only natural ingredients provided by Mother Earth, they decided to call it Three Mamas!

Adrian and I became involved because we were looking for a change after owning 𝑆𝑎𝑣𝑣𝑦 𝑃𝑖𝑧𝑧𝑎 in Belgrave for many years. We have been on many adventures together since we were 13 years old and have 2 lovely daughters who are 12 and 10 years old.

Living a low tox and eco friendly lifestyle has always been important to us so we are very proud to own a business that promotes this lifestyle and helps others to do the same. Also, personally I love how many lovely mamas I meet through the business including customers, stockists and other business owners that we collaborate with.

𝑨𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒖𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘?

We have recently relaunched the brand with a huge new product range including skincare, haircare, bath & body, perfume, aromatherapy and Eco Glitter blends plus fresh branding and a new website for both retail and wholesale customers.

First off, I would like to introduce to you Dr Sarah Fogarty, PhD - Pregnancy and Remedial Massage & Acupuncture. She has been in practice for over 20 years. I asked Sarah a few questions to learn more her and her business. Enjoy

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲?
I always wanted to help people and a friend of mine who was the year above me studied acupuncture and I loved the holistic approach to care that acupuncture can provide.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲?
Bereavement massage is a massage with a specific focus on addressing the emotional stress and the physical and mental symptoms of grief. Bereavement massage aims to help support and nurture the body and address muscles tension and pain associated with anxiety, grief and stress and provide some time out, self-care and kindness.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁?
I am passionate about helping people and ensuring everyone has access to healthcare.

𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆?

I have been in business for over 20 years and I still love what I do. I feel extremity blessed to work with pregnant and postnatal women during their pregnancy journey. When I am not working I enjoy playing ice hockey, knitting, and cooking.
