“Just as I am within nature, nature is within me.” 

I began this brand as an exploration into offering better options to the South African market, inspired by my own passion and respect that I have for Nature.

I’ve always sought knowledge about how I could reduce my impact as a human being on the planet at this time, since I feel that right now, every little choice we make towards kindness and re-integration into the larger web of life is really important. And it starts with the little things, with better choices. So Back 2 Nature really is an ode to that, my contribution towards the realm of conscious consumerism. 

As a lover of the ocean and wild spaces, I’m grateful for everything this journey has taught me, helping my footprint to become lighter and lighter and hopefully inspiring others to do the same.
