I have the privilege to announce that I was awarded the Purpose-Driven Woman Entrepreneur of the Year 2026 (South Africa) by MEA Markets.

I started Self-care Sanctuary after my post-partum depression journey. I wanted to do something to help moms who are still in the thick of it. I didn’t think that a few months into building Self-care Sanctuary that I would be nominated for an award, much less win it. I had my fair share of doubts about whether Self-care Sanctuary would be successful. This award is validation that it was and still is worth building.

I am so grateful for the impact Self-care Sanctuary has had since it opened. I’d like to thank all our followers, customers and everyone who has supported me on this journey.

Self-care Sanctuary still has a long way to go, but we’re only getting started. 🤍

Rating the self-care advice everyone gives new mums 🤍

Some of it held up. Most of it didn't. Swipe to see which ones actually made it through the newborn haze.

What self-care advice actually worked for you?

Things I wish had landed differently in those first few postpartum weeks:

That it's okay to grieve the person you were before. It's going to take some time to adjust and find your feet.

Sleep when the baby sleeps. Yes, I know. This is a very controversial one, but I was driving myself mad trying to stay awake during the day with everyone else while simultaneously not sleeping during the night.

That some days all you need to do is survive the day.

That it gets easier — not because it changes, but because you do.

I started this brand because I needed to hear these things, even if someone did say them and it just didn't stick in the blur of it all. So I'm telling you.

What do you wish had landed differently for you? 🤍

When I was diagnosed with postpartum depression, the advice I was given sounded so simple.

Sit in the sun every morning.
Feed the baby in the living room, not alone.
Sleep when he sleeps.

These are small, simple things, but they helped me.

Recovery wasn’t overnight.
It was moments like these, time, support, and medication 🤍

I wrote about my full postpartum depression journey on the blog (link in bio). If you’re struggling right now, please know you’re not alone. There is help available.

I used to think rest meant I needed a whole day off.

Then I realised rest is also sitting in my car for two minutes before going inside. Or lying on the floor while my kid plays. Or ordering takeaways so I don't have to think about dinner.

Rest doesn't look the same for everyone. And it doesn't have to be Instagram-worthy to count 🤍

Save this for when you need the reminder.

Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at the same time.

Today I’m thinking especially of the moms who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or stretched thin lately.

You deserve to be cared for too.

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

I’m giving away a Mother’s Day set to one mama who needs a moment of rest 🤍

Motherhood asks so much of you.

This Mother’s Day, I created something simple and thoughtful for the mamas who give so much of themselves.

A candle for calm. A scrub for gentle care. A notebook for all the thoughts she's holding. Small things that say: you matter too.

Mother's Day Sets — now available 🤍

Two options:

– The Full Care Set (R525): Scented soy candle, scrub of your choice and a seed paper notebook.

– The Essential Set (R395): Scented soy candle and a seed paper notebook.

Beautifully wrapped and ready to gift — or keep for yourself.

Order by 7 May for Mother’s Day delivery.
