FOUNDER'S NOTE

A Note From Our Founder: Finding Stillness in the Sea Breeze

Hi, I'm Erina.

Salty Sol Collective was born between two worlds, the sun soaked coastline of Australia and the gentle, ever changing seasons of Japan's coast. But really, it grew from something much closer to home, my own journey toward healing and hope.

After the birth of my two children, I experienced postpartum depression. With my family's support, I slowly began to feel like myself again, though the emotional ups and downs of PMS and PMDD are something I still live with. There were so many days when calm simply felt out of reach.

Somewhere along the way, I found something simple, and surprisingly powerful. The ocean.

Being near the water helped me breathe deeply, settle, and feel a kind of peace I couldn't find anywhere else. I later learned this feeling has a name, Blue Mind, but I'd felt it long before I ever knew the word for it.

The ocean reminded me that life moves in waves too. The hard moments come and go, just like the tide. And slowly, I learned to trust that calm always finds its way back.

Salty Sol Collective is my way of sharing that feeling with you.

Through carefully chosen coastal pieces, gentle rituals, and a deeper connection to nature, I hope to create a space where women, wherever they are in their journey, can pause, breathe, and feel supported.

I also believe that caring for yourself and caring for the ocean are deeply connected. The ocean gives us so much, and it feels only right to give something back, by supporting greater awareness and protection for marine life.

Whether you're deep in the trenches of motherhood, navigating your own cycle, or simply craving a moment of calm, please know this. You are not alone.

This is a space for connection, softness, and support. A quiet reminder that brighter days are always on their way.

Thank you for being here, and for being part of this journey with me.

With love,
Erina & Arisa
