Today I’m excited to be chatting with Sara Fieschi, one of my amazing Home Detox Boot Camp graduates.
Sara has spent 15 years studying, researching and teaching nutrition and food science, as she has always been interested in what we are feeding our bodies and their effects. However, after having her two children, she began to increasingly think about and question what ingredients were in her children’s wash products, and essentially what we are feeding our skin.
In early 2015, Sara joined my Home Detox Boot Camp where she soon realised that what we put on our skin is just as important as what we put in our body. She also learnt about the many worrisome ingredients in commercial soaps and felt the need to develop an all-natural alternative. And so she did, Sara is the proud founder of the natural soap business- The Australian Soap Kitchen.
In this chat Sara and I chat about her journey from Food Science Expert to mother to Home Detox Boot Camp participant to Eco Business Creator and Founder! It truly is an amazing and inspiring story.
Sara is also generously offering a 10% discount off her entire natural soap range at The Australian Soap Kitchen until 29th February 2016. Just use code eco2016 in your checkout to get your hands on her nourishing, healthy and pure soaps.
