Our Story

In 2017, our beautiful son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Those who know me well, know I throw myself into learning as much as I could to help our son thrive. 

In amongst diving in headfirst, between working two jobs to afford therapy (before the NDIS came onboard), getting to and from therapies. I was completely losing my own identity. I found myself spiraling. This is when my husband begged me to find myself a hobby for some me-time. Something which every Mum struggles with, devoting any time to herself. 

I started what I thought would only ever be a hobby. I didn't realize just how much I was going to enjoy making all these beautiful creations. 

During my hobby stage, as our son became verbal, he would often wake during the night, come into the kitchen to find me melting away. He would ask me 'What you doing Mumma?" and I would respond "Just making some melts". He would bend over and walk right across the table smelling each little pod and his little face would light up and say, "I love Mumma's Melts!" Which is exactly how we got our name. So when you think of how quirky our name is - remember there is a special story behind it! 

Once we decided to turn this hobby into a side hustle, we enjoyed our first market stall in 2018 at Sydney Boutique Markets in Rouse Hill. 

Our love and passion grew like Wildfire. I found myself dreaming about different creations and smells. Getting a huge buzz every time customers would tell me how much they were loving their melts. 

In late 2018 we decided to kick our business up a notch and start offering candles as well as melts. 

In 2019, we welcomed our second child, a gorgeous baby girl! While off on maternity leave the world went into a Global Pandemic where I was made redundant from my full-time job in Accounts Management. 

We decided we loved this business enough to make a huge investment into it and opened our first Brick and Mortar store in Windsor NSW. 

Little did we know how long this pandemic would last. But here we are almost 3 years later, our Brick-and-Mortar store is THRIVING, and we are still loving every minute of this slice of heaven we have created. 

Now we have 16 other amazing Small Businesses in our store and have 5 amazing team members who help us run the shop while this Mumma creates all the wonderful smells that you all enjoy!

Pouring over 400+ Melts alone each day to keep up with scenting your beautiful spaces and offering over 225 fragrances in our Melts Collection, our little store is bursting at the seams. 

We now have two beautiful little humans on the Spectrum, keeping this Mumma very busy but full of love and learning how to be a better human myself every day. 

Thank you for your continued love & support over the years xx
