My love for aromatherapy began in childhood. I spent countless hours playing in the mud, pressing flowers, collecting rose petals from around my home, and experimenting with preserving them in old bottles. Those simple moments planted the seeds for a lifelong passion for natural beauty.
In the late '90s, I formally pursued this passion by studying Natural Beauty Therapy and learning how to create my own skincare and body products. After earning my Aromatherapy Diploma in 1999, I worked in the Day Spa industry in Sydney. While I couldn’t mix my own products in that role, the dream never left me.
In 2005, I launched my own practice, Padma Aromatherapy, on the Central Coast NSW, blending custom oils for clients and embracing natural products. Around this time, I discovered Lhami Skincare through Natalie at the Avoca Markets. I instantly fell in love with her beautiful creations and became Lhami’s first retail stockist. Over the years, we often collaborated to offer customers products that embody the very best in clean, sustainable, and effective beauty.
Now, I’m honoured to continue Lhami’s legacy as its new owner. I am committed to maintaining the same exceptional quality and service that Lhami’s loyal customers have come to expect.
Let’s make everyday rituals moments to savour.
Lots of Love, Nicole Hudson
