Looking to live more intentionally?
Quiet Lily was shaped by a lifetime of learning how to care for my health in a more mindful, intentional way.
After receiving a kidney transplant in 2004, I was faced with the reality of needing to look at my wellbeing differently. Over time, this led me to simplify, to question what I was using on and around my body, and to choose a gentler, more considered path. What started as small, personal changes slowly became something deeper. A way of living. A way of caring.
Quiet Lily is an extension of that journey - a collection of thoughtfully made products created with intention, honesty, and respect for both our bodies and the earth.
If you feel drawn to slower, kinder self-care, you’ll feel at home here.
The story behind Quiet Lily
I created Quiet Lily from my personal health journey experienced from birth and the challenges I’ve lived through. Due to living with a disability, I’ve experienced issues with my health and mobility throughout my life, which resulted in receiving a kidney transplant in 2004, from a compatible family member - something that not only saved my life, but I am deeply grateful for.
This wasn’t without challenge. I was advised the transplant would possibly only last around ten years, and I would have to be mindful of other health concerns that can occur surrounding my health and the transplant. That reality began to shape how I chose to live from then on and at a certain point, I realised the importance of truly understanding my own health and wellness.
Instead of only following the typical path of conventional medicine, I felt drawn to support and control my health in other ways that made sense and felt true for me. So, I started to make personal, intuitive choices that felt authentic and mindful. This, for me, meant reducing harmful toxins, eating more intentionally, establishing and making small habits or routine changes; and removing as many damaging chemical pollutants from my world as possible.
I wasn’t reckless, just quietly committed to tuning into my body, keeping track of my health through routine blood tests, and trusting what my body responded well to etc. Over time, these small changes have made a big impact to my overall health.
It’s now been over 20 years, yep 20! My kidney is still going strong, and recent conversations with my renal specialist suggest I could have this kidney for many more years.
This part of my life led me to become deeply passionate about non-toxic living - choosing ingredients, products, and routines that honour my health, my values and the planet
The Art of Natural Skincare
Quiet Lily was born from this place. It is a small boutique business established from years of making my own natural products, therefore being aware of exactly what was being put into them. My products are handcrafted with care and quiet intention using high-quality, organic, cold-pressed, cruelty-free ingredients, from suppliers who practice fairtrade and give back to people and the planet and who share my ethical values.
At Quiet Lily we also believe in re-use: jars and lids can be reused with a small discount offered in return for those living local, or be cleverly reused at home or placed in the recycling bin to be recycled; because small acts of care ripple outward.
Being able to share what has supported my wellbeing and kept me grounded and connected, has been a key part of my story, along with a practiced mindful mindset and a positive outlook.
Crafted with Care
My hope is that these hand-made products nourish not only your skin, also your whole being - just like this ongoing journey has mine. To me true self-care means being kind to yourself through caring for your health, skin, body and soul as well as the environment around you.
By joining the Quiet Lily community, my trust is that it will inspire you to be mindful of your own self-care and wellbeing. My hope is to empower you to be kinder to yourself - in whatever way feels genuine to you.
