Sarah Mangion handcrafts Shikoba Therapies from her home studio in Gippsland.
“Shikoba Therapies combines the therapeutic power of essential oils, herbs, and gemstones with reflexology techniques and energy principles to nurture your physical and spiritual well-being.
Taking over two years to formulate, Sarah founded Shikoba Therapies in 2018 after suffering an anxiety disorder for over a decade. Sarah's condition of constant panic led to digestive issues, and a weakened immune system. Finding relief from energetic healing and aromatherapy, Shikoba Therapies was designed to help others balance energetic flow and relieve physical symptoms.”
“I create small-batch handmade ceramics from my home studio in Melbourne’s East.
Each piece is unique, mindfully handmade with love + intended to be enjoyed in moments of pause. I draw from nostalgia, magical moments + the world around me as inspiration with key themse of female empowerment, fertility, dreams + ritual showing through my work.
I have always been a creative person dabbling in various artforms for as long as I can remember but it wasn’t until I gave ceramics a real go that I realised I had found my calling. Ceramics grounds me and connects me to the earth in the most beautiful way. My clay practice has made me much more mindful and patient which is something I hope to pass on through my pieces.
Intended for empowered babes and conscious moments. Slow down, feel your breath and enjoy the texture in your hands.” - Rachel
