Our Story
Everything's fine and dandy, nothing to see here. Or is there?
Dandy Wellness was born out of one woman's willingness to ask herself that very question. And to keep asking, again and again, until she finally found some answers.
After spending so many years in the health and beauty industry, moving up the corporate ladder and seemingly living the “put together, “perfect” life, Harriet found herself repeatedly turning inwards, hoping to understand why, when everything seemed to be going so well, she was dealing with food intolerances, PCOS, and high-stress levels that manifested in an array of ways.
The answers came faster than she thought: she wasn’t focusing on her wellbeing in a way that aligned with her as an individual.
She realised it was clear that the world women live in is often one that perpetuates the idea of the “perfect” woman, throwing so many people into a crisis of self-worth. They feel misunderstood, isolated, and judged, with impractical and useless information being thrown their way - trend after trend, product after product.
Disappointed by the fact that the message emanating from the industry was one of faux self-acceptance that drove relentless consumerism, Harriet realised what was actually missing: a place for her, and other women to learn more about themselves, receive advise and support, and ultimately begin to perceive the world of wellness in a different way - a better way.
This is why Dandy was created. Armed with years of expertise and knowledge in the health and beauty industry, she knows products inside and out, she knows what works, and what doesn’t, but even more importantly, she knows how we should be approaching wellness – with our own self-awareness.
