After four years of building something I am truly proud of, I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close the doors of ESSENĆIA on August 30th.
As many of you know, I have been quietly managing my health in the background for some time now. My body has been asking me to slow down, and after a lot of tears and conversations, I’ve decided to listen.
ESSENĆIA has been such a special part of my life. I got to introduce brands to Perth that had never been here before. I got to create a beautiful space where women of all ages could walk in, feel seen, and leave feeling like the best version of themselves. I got to build relationships that turned into friendships, and friendships that turned into family.
That is everything. That is more than I ever dreamed of when I first opened these doors.
As sad as this chapter ending is for me, I would love nothing more than to see ESSENĆIA continue. This store, this community, and these brands deserve to keep going. If there is someone out there who feels called to take the keys and carry this forward, I would love to talk to you.
ESSENĆIA has so much life left in it. It just needs someone to love it the way I have and would continue to do if things were different for me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. For every visit, every purchase, every kind word, every referral, every message. You made this the most beautiful chapter of my life.
All my love always, Naomi ###
