About Self Cared | Mental health gifts and tools
Why Self Cared?
We know what it feels like to go through a hard time.
We also know what it feels like to watch someone you love struggle, wanting to send more than flowers, wanting to let them know that you care.
Self Cared is for both moments.
For the days you need to look after your own mental health.
For the days someone you love needs looking after, and you want to lend a helping hand.
Self-care is personal. You don't need permission from us to decide what it looks like for you, or for the person you love.
We're here with thoughtfully curated mental health tools and resources, for the easy days and the heavier ones.
Who is Self Cared
A founder who has been there.
At the heart of Self Cared is founder Nathalie Reiter.
Nathalie spent 15 years in eCommerce, working with hundreds of Australian brands and learning what makes a product worth holding onto.
She's also a passionate mental health advocate, who came to this work the long way round, through her own hard chapters and years of professional support.
That combination is why Self Cared exists.
The craft of building something well, paired with lived experience of what it's like to need help, and to want to give it to someone you love.
