I GREW UP A REBEL

​

I always felt that something was wrong with many of the things we were told to eat, swallow and put on our skin.
 

My Polish mother nurtured that instinct. When we came to Australia her herb garden was her pride and joy. She believed in natural living, questioned synthetic ingredients and taught me to love herbs from an early age.

That knowledge stayed with me.
 

As an adult, the alternative path continued to call me. I studied Traditional Slavic folk herbalism and taught myself about natural health, fitness and longevity. I grew herbs, made remedies and kept searching for older, simpler ways of living well. I searched for the way my ancestors would have lived...
 

I also spent years battling alcoholism, addiction and undiagnosed Hashimoto’s.
 

After I had children, my body changed dramatically.
The exhaustion deepened. The weight arrived. Pain took over. My mind became foggy and my body felt like it had stopped working with me.
 

I tried everything.
 

Veganism. Plant-based eating. Eating the rainbow. Paleo. Fasting. Gluten-free. Grain-free. Sugar-free. Superfoods, supplements and every new promise of health I could find.
I was doing everything I had been told would help.
 

I became sicker.
 

Eventually, chronic pain left me barely functioning and spending far too much of my life in bed. I was exhausted, overweight, pre-diabetic, peri-menopausal and struggling with Hashimoto’s. I had reached the point where something had to change.
 

So I chose recovery.
 

I faced my alcoholism and addiction. I became sober. I began rebuilding my life from the inside out.
 

Then I discovered the carnivore lifestyle.
 

What began as a desperate personal experiment changed the direction of my life. My energy returned. My mind cleared. My anxiety eased. My body hurt less. I lost 30 kilos in three months and began to recognise the woman in the mirror again.
 

Joy came rushing back.
 

That transformation made me question everything I had accepted about food, health, beauty and ageing. I looked inside my bathroom cupboard and across my dressing table and thought:

What is actually in all this stuff?

Why am I putting it on my skin?

Could I make something better?

I wanted to replace the products I used every day with formulas made from ingredients I knew, understood and had studied with purpose.
 

So I studied holistic skincare and carnivore coaching, building upon my knowledge of Slavic folk herbalism, natural health and traditional remedies.
 

Then one day, while preparing tallow to eat, I put it on my face.

Because this is what happens when a rebellious housewife starts questioning the beauty industry.
 

My skin loved it.
 

That experiment became Fit for a Queen, our bestselling tallow balm and the beginning of Carnivore Origins.
 

Today, I formulate tallow skincare, botanical preparations and body essentials using locally sourced, grass-fed and finished South Gippsland tallow. I combine it with organic herbs, resins and oils carefully sourced from around the world.
 

I still love staying home, growing herbs and witching in my kitchen. I study every ingredient, create every formula with purpose and make our products by hand in small batches here in Victoria.

Every ingredient has a job.

Every product begins with research.

Everything is formulated for me first.
 

If it doesn’t earn a place in my bathroom, it doesn’t earn a place in yours.
 

Carnivore Origins carries every part of my story: my mother’s wisdom, my Polish-Slavic roots, my recovery, my rebellion, my quest for longevity, my love of traditional homemaking and my refusal to blindly accept what the system tells me.
 

I’ve always liked to screw the system.
 

Now I rebel with cow fat, herbs and excellent skin.
 

My motto?
 

EAT, LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE LIKE A QUEEN, NOT A PEASANT.
 

My Tallow Friends, welcome to the fat life.
 

Pull up a throne.
