Holistic Kitchen 100% Vegan Products made with Essential Oils | Handcrafted in the Yorkshire Wolds | I literally threw out all household cleaning products with chemicals. x

Being holistic from my kitchen...

My name is Sallyanne, I am a working mummy who loves to make essential oil blends and other products when I can, around being a busy mum. Over the last few years I have worked with essential oils through my work as a holistic massage therapist. I cannot get enough of their magical natural benefits, beautiful scents and the ability to heal the mind and the body. During my first pregnancy with Hunter, I started to take on more of a holistic approach to what I was using on my skin as I started to get bad eczema on my hand during pregnancy. I started to look at how chemicals in household products and skin care could be the cause of this flare up. I first started to make my own household cleaning products using essential oils, white vinegar and bicarbonate soda. My eczema slowly went and I was amazed. This set me off on my chemical free journey and I found myself obsessed with finding out more information. One book that inspired me was 'Imperfectly Natural Woman: Getting Life Right the Natural Way' by Janey Lee Grace.

Hunter was born in August 2012 and shortly after he was born he developed patches of eczema on his skin. I started experimenting by make my own balms with essential oils to massage into his skin. This saved me from using the steroid cream the doctor wanted to give him, and I felt better as I was using something so natural and organic that actually worked!

My friends started to ask if I could make them their own unique essential oil blend and organically, Holistic Kitchen started to grow.

During my second pregnancy with Luna, I started to experiment with more essential oil blends and products suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding to use on myself, and now, those products, such as Mamas Comfort and Bump, Boobs & Baby Balm, are my best selling products from the pregnancy range.

I use 100% therapeutic grade essential oils and raw organic ingredients in all my handmade products.
​​
I appreciate all the support and loyalty from my customers, friends and family, as without you, this wouldn't be happening for me.

Finally, thank you to the universe for guiding me through life and helping me on my bumpy journey to creating Holistic Kitchen products.

This is always where it starts.

Before bottles.
Before drops.
Before anything smells like something.

I begin with how I want a blend to feel.
I already know what I want to call it, and the reason why I’m making it.
So I research the emotions and moods I want the scent to evoke.

Content.
Balanced.
Held.
Calm in the body.

Then I go to this book.
The Fragrant Mind by Valerie Ann Worwood.

I don’t use endless sources.
I don’t over-research.
I’ve trusted this one book for years. It’s my Bible.

I look at the emotions and moods first, then the oils associated with them.
Sometimes the same oils show up again and again for different feelings, so I make a note of them.

That’s when a theme starts to form.
That’s when the blend begins to reveal itself.

This is part one.
Research first.
Listening first.
Then the blending comes.

Can I hibernate yet?

Me, in the car, phoning myself like:
“Hi, it’s me… sorry I can't come in today I'm too tired!”

Boss me:
“Absolutely. In winter? You should be at home.”

Sadly… it’s the last week.
Last push.
Last post on Friday.

Then I’m officially entering hibernation mode 💤
(Or at least pretending I can.)

For three months my hand eczema has been flaring…

and deep down I’ve known it isn’t food or products. It’s emotional. It’s my body shouting at me to finally listen to my intuition.

Every time I’ve had eczema in the past, it’s been a sign that something inside needs to shift and this time is no different. Over the last two weeks it’s spread to my fingers, right as the pull toward my next chapter has become impossible to ignore.

I’ve felt this nudge for a long time… to share more of what I’ve learned, to support women in business in a deeper way, and to actually step into the work I’ve been preparing myself for without even realising it.

Holistic Kitchen will still be here, but I’m growing with it. There’s something new arriving in January which I've beenworking on aswell as answering the call to support women in business! Everything is so exciting but it's coming at a cost.

So yes, the eczema is annoying… but it’s also a message:

It’s time. Listen. Move. Grow.

Two of my absolute favourite blends for this time of year…

Natural Guard
Smells like Christmas in a bottle - clove, cinnamon, lemon and rosemary.

It’s an old, traditional recipe you might know as Thieves Blend (I couldn't use that name because it’s trademarked, even though the recipe has been around for centuries).

The story goes that during the plague, robbers used these oils inside their masks so they could steal from houses without getting sick. Wild… but the point is, this blend is incredible for those airborne school-run bugs that end up in every home in December.

Warm, spicy, protective.

Savasana
My grounding Christmas blend.
I put drops of this straight onto my Christmas tree every year and it turns the whole room into a calm moment in the middle of the chaos.

Beautiful in the bath, in a diffuser, or inhaled when you need to settle your nervous system and drop back into your body.

And right now it’s 3 for 2 on all aromatherapy, so you can pop these two in your basket and choose a third for free.

Slow moments, cosy scents, and a little support for this wild season.

The truth is… I naturally slip into helping guide people and it's so natural to me.

I’ve been guiding my friends quietly for months with emotional regulation, helping them to understand their cycles and sharing what has helped me with how to move through life without burning myself out.

And every time I shared something with them, I felt that click.
“Oh… THIS is what I’m meant to be doing more of.”

Running Holistic Kitchen on my own for years has taught me so much about growth, alignment, pivots, ADHD, perimenopause, burnout, rebuildin and all the seasons a woman in business walks through.

And it’s made me realise I have more to offer than just products.

There’s a whole layer of support and lived experience that I’ve never shared openly.

HK is still here.
HK still matters.
But I am evolving and my work is evolving with me.

My body has been whispering (okay, shouting) that something needs to change. The eczema flare on my hands has said what my intuition has been trying to tell me for months.

So for 2026, I’m gently building something new alongside Holistic Kitchen:

Support for women who want structure, strategy, intuition and cycle-led seasons all woven together in a way that feels human.

The seed has been planted for a long time.
I know this is the direction I’m meant to take, and the time is coming to begin this journey.

For the last couple of years I’ve been trying to build my business the way the internet told me to…

Make more products.
Do more launches.
Hustle harder.

And every time, my body said no.

What did feel aligned?

Working with my cycle.
Following my seasons.
Running my business in a way that supports my nervous system - not drains it.

I’ve never really talked about this publicly…
but it’s the thing that’s actually kept me going.

And I’m finally ready to share it.
More tomorrow. 🌿

Give the gift of presence… wrapped in something they can actually hold.

This year I wanted to create gift ideas that feel gentle, thoughtful, and rooted in the small rituals that help us slow down.

For the dreamer.
For the one who’s always giving.
For the overthinker.
For you.

Each blend, balm, candle and elixir was created to bring someone back to themselves - a breath, a moment, a pause in a season that can feel anything but calm.

If you’re choosing presents this year, choose the ones that help someone feel more present.
Scent is such a powerful way to do that.
A tiny anchor in the middle of the noise.

My Christmas collection is now live, with little pockets of self-care for whoever you’re thinking of.

✹ Give softly
✹ Gift mindfully
✹ Share presence

Black Friday weekend starts tomorrow. It's harvest time for small businesses like mine.

This year I’m doing things differently. Still meaningful savings, but in a way that feels more sustainable and aligned for me and the business.

I’ve introduced a tiered system so you can save while supporting my work fairly:

✨ Spend £25+ - 20% off
✨ Spend £50+ – 25% off
✨ Spend £75+ – 30% off
✨ Spend £100+ – 35% off

For example - your £100 order becomes £65 with 35% off.

This way I’m not just surviving. I’m building something that allows growth, care and longevity, without giving my products away when I know their true value.

Thank you for supporting my little world of scent and slow self-care. It means more than you know. I’m here if you have any questions, and I hope you enjoy the offerings this weekend 🤍

Our Story

Holistic. Simple. Natural.

Hello. I am Sallyanne from Holistic Kitchen. I believe that everyone should be able to experience the power of natural and raw ingredients on the mind, body and soul, without costing the earth. I specialise in essential oil blends, skin care, and pregnancy care products to suit any mood, emotion, and need, all of which are lovingly handcrafted in small batches in the Yorkshire Wolds. Like the name, the product ranges are holistic - meaning they treat the whole person.

I research, test and blend unique combinations that will heal physical ailments, reduce stress levels and balance hormones, while at the same time, rejuvenate your skin and warm the soul. I've put a lot of time and energy into my products to make them affordable, ethical, and kind to the environment. It’s a hard balance to strike but I am committed, and always looking for ways to improve. All our ingredients are ethically sourced, and we’re on a mission to become 100% Organic (so far, we’re at around 65%).
