What is Hope The Studio?

Hope is a precious haven nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island, a place I gratefully called home for five months during my travels in 2019. It was here that I found my vision, inspired by the peaceful surroundings and the simple, harmonious way of life. The holistic approach embraced by the community showed me the importance of balancing mind, body, and spirit. Hope is a place of magic, peace, and ease, where every day felt like a gentle reminder of what truly matters. The sense of calm and the connection to nature made it a perfect place to grow and find clarity.

In 2022, Hope The Studio was born as a brand dedicated to promoting a holistic lifestyle. Inspired by the profound experiences and insights gained during my time in Hope, New Zealand, the digital studio aimed to bring the same sense of peace, balance, and well-being to others. Since its inception, Hope The Studio has evolved, growing from a simple idea into a thriving community and a hub for holistic practices. Today, I offer a range of services and products designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit, staying true to the principles that first inspired this journey. As Hope The Studio continues to expand and innovate, this commitment to fostering a holistic way of life remains steadfast, guiding us - as a collective - in all we do.

Our top 4 Values

…because we couldn’t decide on 3…

  • We value honesty and transparency, encouraging everyone to be true to themselves and live authentically.

  • We foster a nurturing, inclusive community where individuals support and uplift each other, creating a strong sense of belonging and mutual respect.

  • Sustainability isn't just about one action; it's about creating a ripple effect that impacts both the environment and individuals. Our commitment to sustainable practices goes beyond preserving the planet; it's about recognising the interconnectedness of everything. By reducing our ecological footprint, we not only conserve natural resources but also inspire others to follow suit. Furthermore, by prioritising personal well-being, we initiate a ripple effect that reaches our communities and beyond. When we take care of ourselves, we're better equipped to make positive contributions to the world, forging a sustainable legacy for generations to come.

  • I firmly believe that it is our responsibility to reach out to the less fortunate and help where we can. In addition, I have learned through various donation projects in recent years (in which I have collected over $25,000 and built a school in Vietnam, among other things) how the heart fills when you give selflessly.

    For every sold product at Hope The Studio we donate $1 to the Earth Child Project in South Africa.

Why "We"?

Adopting a community-centreed approach is crucial to our work. I believe in the power of "we"—the community—working together, learning from one another, and supporting each other on our journey. Hope The Studio isn't about me; it's about us. We are in this together, and that is why I emphasise "we."
