My name is Patti (short for Patricia) and I’m a Gold Coast based holistic facial therapist.
I started many moons ago as a beauty therapist, working in some beautiful day spa’s on the Gold Coast and in Canada. In this time I learnt skills such as reflexology, aromatherapy, facial massage, lymphatic massage, reiki, hot stone massage, yoga & breath work and started to incorporate these into my treatments. I was loving my work, but the more I looked into the skincare and ingredients, the more I needed to research what I was using, why, and what it was doing to me and my clients.

I turned to study Naturopathy, and learnt the amazing healing power of nature in herbal medicine and further studied herbs, flowers and essential oils and their use in traditional and newly proven methods. I learnt the power of toxic products in our lives, and that what we are putting in and on our bodies is making us sick.   I learnt how to make my own natural face cream, and was hooked on making, researching, and creating a whole line of natural skincare to use at home and in eventually in professional treatments.

My husband and I started a family, that grew, and grew (and grew)! I spent my 30’s having babies and breastfeeding, still making skincare for families and friends that rapidly became what it is today - Earth Bud. I also got to practice bringing up a family naturally, and making life long friends with other natural mothers as we frazzled our way through motherhood. I also gained a whole new respect for mums, and the extraordinary, selfless beings that women are.

The bud - where it all began, has now blossomed and I’m so excited to have my own space, with my own natural skincare. I’m bringing everything I’ve learnt and more together to create a space where you can come, surrender, and give yourself the time to heal and enjoy, while I work my magic and leave you glowing from the inside out.

Each day I’m grateful for all the kind comments and messages that keep me inspired and make me feel that my work has helped someone on their healing journey.
