About Me

Welcome to Wild Lotus Oils - my name is Angie and I am the founder and owner of an ecommerce brand and aromatherapy and wellness studio in Penshurst, Sydney.  The studio is a humble, calming and welcoming space for the maker or seeker of natural, science-backed solutions and a space where you can explore handcrafted blends and find heavily-researched, 100% pure, natural, effective products. 

I work tirelessly to inspect labels, ingredients, chemical data sheets, third-party testing protocols and detailed specifications of sourcing and manufacturing to find the most reputable brands so you don't have to.

As someone who has always been fascinated by the world of science, I have a degree in Computer Science, coupled with tertiary-level studies in Chemistry. This strong academic foundation, combined with a love for continuous learning, led to a deep understanding of the body’s chemistry and the impact of everyday products on our health.

Driven by this love of learning and a desire to help others, I began to explore the world of natural health solutions. I delved into the science of natural ingredients and how they can be used to address common health concerns without the negative side effects of synthetic chemicals. This journey led me to discover the incredible benefits of natural skincare, sleep aids and pain relief products among hundreds of other benefits. I believe that everyone deserves to feel their best, and I am committed to offering solutions that are safe, effective and free from harmful toxins.  

Not all products are made with your best interest in mind.  I am passionate about helping you achieve your best health and wellbeing and committed to sourcing the best products for my store and the highest quality ingredients for my formulations.

My business journey began with a simple desire to make a difference in people's lives by addressing common health challenges and promoting natural solutions. 

My Story

It all started with a personal quest for better health.  I struggled with asthma, fatigue, hormone imbalances, skin issues, an underactive thyroid, back pain and a combination of low iron and heavy metal levels from my teenage years.  When I started a family in my late 20s, I started becoming more aware of the greenwashing that we were constantly exposed to, particularly in the world of parent and baby products, which were simply well-marketed, glorified toxic concoctions designed to make us feel like we had no choice but to use them.  Thankfully I was aware that I had choices and that I couldn't simply rely on the premise that "if I can buy it, it must be safe" so made seemingly good choices around body products. 

Fast forward a few years, I had three young children, was very time-poor and my health concerns started taking a front seat.  My family doctor would push medications (which I mostly refused to use) and when one day I heard the words "you will need to take asthma medication for the rest of your life" I decided I was going all in on changing that trajectory. 

I culled all aerosols, perfumes, candles, bleaches, fabric softeners, cleaning products, body products, detergents and anything with fragrance, preservatives or synthetics.  I looked at food, cooking oils and anything that could be contributing to inflammation and started eating clean, nutrient-dense food and taking quality supplements.  I also replaced our table salt with naturally sourced mineral-rich salt.

I looked at the data on our water supply, saw how many unwanted chemicals we were exposed to, particularly fluoride, chlorine and PFAS and invested in shower filters, a reverse osmosis system and hydrogen water.  I swapped out my non-stick pots and pans for enamelled cast iron and stainless steel and stopped using plastic bottles and synthetic fabrics.  And thankfully, I had stopped engaging pest control years earlier and haven't looked back for over 15 years. 

We invested in a magnesium pool, ice bath, sauna and air purifier.

Most importantly, I questioned the safety and efficacy of everything and did my research before introducing anything new.

I had tinkered with essential oils since my teenage years and loved using them for ailments and in my candle-powered diffusers (I would never heat oils or use candles now).  Little did I know that the essential oil industry was not regulated and I was probably doing more harm than good buying from brands I knew nothing about.  They were probably 100% synthetic at worst, or at best a highly processed carrier oil spiked with some fragrance. 

To be completely honest, I didn't experience the truly therapeutic power of essential oils until the day I was introduced to doTERRA by a close friend.   

I invested in the Nature's Solution Starter Pack, put a diffuser in every room of my house and started making my own body, cleaning and skin care products as well as pet care products.  I used the oils for everyday ailments, took them on our travels, used them to improve immunity, focus, mood and sleep and if I didn't have time to make something, I found simple swaps that I knew were clean. 

I checked every ingredient on every product and used the EWG database to investigate any negative impacts of each ingredient on our body.  Fragrance, mineral oils, SLS, SLES, parabens among so many other toxic ingredients seem to be in everything!

Sadly, to this day, none of the clean ingredients or products I use can be found at our major supermarkets.  I don't even walk down the personal care or cleaning aisles of my local supermarkets any more.  Everything contains at least one unnecessary ingredient which can cause respiratory problems, endocrine disruption, skin sensitivity or other adverse reaction.  And the greenwashing is as bad today as it was 20 years ago.

Fast forward to today and I am medication-free, my asthma is non-existent, my skin is better than ever, I don't experience unexplained chronic pain, my gut health and biomarkers are better than they were in my 20s, my thyroid condition doesn't present symptoms and most importantly, I have found practitioners who support my health journey and am always on the lookout for tools to improve.  I am also married to a very health-conscious, science and data-driven man who is definitely healthier today than he was 20 years ago too.

I hope to inspire and encourage people to take control of their health by educating and empowering them with simple, natural and effective solutions.  I am also more than happy to share my recommendations for the best air and water purifiers as well as the sauna and ice bath brands we use at home.  Anything I endorse, recommend or sell I use myself after lengthy and careful research.
