About Us
Hi, My name is Katherine and I am the sole maker and educator of Coconut Luxe Naturals. I started out as a Beauty Therapist back in 2001 and practiced for many years and really enjoyed the interactions with my customers. I didn't enjoy however the chemicals that large skincare companies were adding to salon products that I felt forced to lie to my clients that they were "Natural".
By now it was 2010 and I decided to venture out on my own and build a home salon. I used my skills and qualifications to start formulating "real natural" skincare.
I started with formulating massage oil blends and tried out my hand in soap making. I couldn't believe the amazing process of turning oils into soaps, I quickly became fascinated , one may say I was addicted. I deep dived into studying soap making quite extensively with a professional soap maker here in Melbourne and I learnt everything there was about soap making in depth.
I am very passionate about taking people by the hand and helping them understand why using natural oils and butters on the skin is so much safer for your largest your organ. I have helped so many people with skin condition to be able to make their very own soap range for their family and friends.
I am a proud soap mum to many students who have taken my teachings seriously and now sell their own soaps, candles and balms all taught by me.
This result has brought me so much joy and I encourage you to read my 5 start reviews on Google to see the results yourself.
I am still operating as a sole trader and offer my teachings online and in events in Melbourne
