I've always been someone who juggles a lot. Busy days, deadlines, family commitments, and the constant feeling of having to show up. I ignored my body's subtle hints for a long time and always put it down to "just being busy." I was mentally drained, couldn't switch off, and often felt like I was in survival mode.

After having my daughter in 2024, I was running our family electrical business, trying to keep pursuing my career as a pharmacist, and being a stay-at-home mum to three kids.

My body couldn't push through anymore. I ended up in the emergency department.

Before reaching for prescription medication, I wanted to try complementary support first. But when I started researching and trialing supplements for my symptoms, I discovered I'd need to take six or more tablets a day, an unrealistic, unachievable routine for someone already overwhelmed.

Vitamae was created from that frustration. I needed a simpler approach that wouldn't add to an already overloaded mind. Leaning on my background in pharmacy, I set out to create support designed to work with the body's natural processes, with a strong focus on ingredient quality, bioavailability, transparency and simplicity.

When I shared my story with other women, I realised just how many were feeling exactly the same. Looking after yourself shouldn't feel like adding another task to your to-do list.

Vitamae is my way of making that easier. One simple formula, designed to help you feel like yourself again.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is give ourselves permission to be a priority too.
