Creating clean, conscious homes for healthier families

Conscious Nest is your trusted guide to clean living, where we simplify the journey to creating a healthier, more intentional home. Founded by Eshi, a mum from suburban Melbourne, we’re here to help families make the transition to non-toxic, sustainable living without the overwhelm.

A Note from Eshi:

I’m not a health expert or environmental scientist (though I work with knowledgeable advisors!), I’m simply a mum who was jolted awake to the importance of clean living and became passionate about creating the healthiest possible environment for my family. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you might be on a similar journey.

The truth is, I compiled everything I wish I’d known when I first started this path – the essential swaps, the products that actually work, the changes that make the biggest difference – into practical guides because I believe every family deserves access to this information. Just enter your email below and I’ll share these resources with you. Don’t worry – I respect your inbox as much as you do.

How It All Started

“Everything changed with one phone call.”

It was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon in suburban Melbourne. My two boys were playing in the backyard, and I was folding what felt like the hundredth load of washing when my phone rang. It was my dear friend calling with news that would shift everything – she’d been diagnosed with cancer.

As we talked, she mentioned something her oncologist had said about reducing chemical exposure during treatment. That comment planted a seed that wouldn’t stop growing. I started looking around my home with new eyes – the cleaning products under my sink, the air fresheners plugged into every room, the endless parade of plastic containers and synthetic everything.

That night, I couldn’t sleep. I found myself researching until 2 AM, discovering links between everyday household products and health issues I’d never considered. The more I learned, the more determined I became to create a truly clean nest for my family.

Why “Conscious Nest”?

Because that’s exactly what our homes should be – a conscious, intentional sanctuary where every choice supports our family’s wellbeing. Just like birds carefully select the safest materials for their nests, we can mindfully choose what we bring into our homes.

I believe that small, consistent changes create lasting transformation. You don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight (trust me, I tried that approach and it was exhausting!). Instead, we focus on practical swaps, one room at a time, one product at a time.

What You’ll Find Here

At Conscious Nest, you’ll discover:

• Simple product swaps that actually work (and won’t break the budget)
• DIY recipes for cleaning, beauty, and wellness using ingredients you can pronounce
• Room-by-room guides to creating a healthier home environment
• Honest reviews of clean living products from a real mum’s perspective
• Practical tips for navigating this journey with kids in tow

Sometimes we’ll dive deep into ingredient lists, other times we’ll keep things beautifully simple. But we’ll always keep it real, practical, and achievable for busy families.

The Ripple Effect

Here’s what I’ve learned: when mums start making conscious choices, everything changes. We’re not just creating healthier homes – we’re raising children who will expect better, demand transparency, and continue this positive cycle.

My friend’s cancer diagnosis was the catalyst, but watching my boys grow up understanding that we have choices about what we put in and on our bodies? That’s the real victory.

Life in Suburban Melbourne

When I’m not researching the latest clean beauty find or testing DIY cleaning recipes (much to my family’s amusement), you’ll find me:

• In the car, chauffeuring my two boys between basketball games, school drop-offs, and snack runs
• Attempting to grow vegetables in our small backyard (with mixed success)
• Discovering new farmers markets and local suppliers
• Reading labels in the supermarket (yes, I’m that person now)
• Sharing coffee and clean living tips with fellow mums

Random but true: I can now identify questionable ingredients faster than my kids can spot the ice cream truck, I’ve become the unofficial “label reader” for my friend group, and I genuinely get excited about finding a new non-toxic product that actually works.

P.S. – The friend who first inspired this journey? She’s now cancer-free—and living one of the cleanest, most intentional lives I’ve ever seen. It’s a reminder that even the hardest moments can become the turning points we never saw coming.
