Story

Nourish & Nest was founded by Tara Skipp in 2014. It was inspired by Tara's personal fascination with everyday rituals. After becoming a mother, and then having three babies in five years, Tara discovered that simple daily rituals helped bring a contented presence to her days and intentional passion to her life. 

First came a blog and then she began creating and curating goods of ritual that embodied the Nourish & Nest philosophy. Everything we purvey has to be beautiful, functional, ethically crafted and designed to last for many years. The collection began with a range of candles that Tara handcrafted herself, oft with a babe on her hip and always with the hope that customers would feel nurtured as they incorporated goods of ritual into their own lives and homes.

Based on the East Coast of Australia, Nourish & Nest now offers organic teas and herbal tisanes, luxe candles, natural perfumes, ceramics, plus events and workshops. We also share inspiration via our blog and seasonal love letters, sent to inboxes around the globe.

As the venture grows, a small team of fabulous women has begun to gather around the brand with the dream of spreading the love for our goods of ritual, and the philosophy behind them, far and wide.

In 2022, an exciting new chapter for Nourish & Nest began. Tara handed ownership of the business to the capable hands of Victoria Grovenor and Sheralee Rae. The business remains an intentionally-operated, family-run affair that seeks to share the love of rituals and self-care.

Stay tuned, Victoria and Sheralee have big dreams for Nourish & Nest and they are here to make a difference.
