Michelle See has had a long and interesting career starting out at 15 as a hairdresser and later a beauty therapist. After Michelle had her children she opened and operated her own retail shops. During this time, she also used her marketing knowledge to advise other small businesses on marketing, strategy, and customer relations.

Following this Michelle ran a direct marketing company and within a few years had turned this into a thriving company. Going on to be named the CEO Michelle continued in this role for 12 years, growing this business to over 300 staff in three countries and then going on to start her own company. Unfortunately, because of her many health battles at that time, she was forced to retire.

Michelle’s life took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with a serious illness requiring extensive surgery. All of this illness has culminated with Michelle searching for natural ways to help her eliminate toxins from her body and her home. Michelle now teaches workshops in naturally handmade, some would be considered “old fashioned” DIY ways, to make everything from preserves to skincare.

Michelle says “I actually grew up with a fabulous grandmother who was old school and made everything from scratch. So, I watched and learned and feel it is a real shame that today’s young people aren’t learning these skills and everything is purchased instead of handmade.”

Michelle also loves to upcycle and DIY to encourage less consumerism while also living luxe for less as she doesn’t feel that you have to compromise beauty for ethics. Michelle now lives with her husband in semi-retirement on an acreage property where she now aspires in spite of her illnesses to live her best life.

It was a great class and I learnt a lot about candle making. The smell through my house is still going just from the process and having the candles I made.

The only suggestion I have is that maybe people to either mute themselves or the teacher to put them on mute as whenever someone spoke or were having conversations with other family members in the background it would bring up the video of them which blocked out Michelle so I missed out on being able to see a couple of things Michelle was doing. Otherwise it was great.

I had a really good time and learnt a lot on the first day as a beginner. Love it and Michelle is a good teacher!

I really enjoyed this class. As I am quite deaf, I found it useful to just watch and listen rather than actually 'do'. I will make my candles tomorrow in my own time. I thought the class was well paced and gave a lot of useful information that is not normally given in normal 'how to' printouts. Thank you Michelle.

The workshop was very well presented and I learnt a lot about candle making in general, and not just how to use the kit. She was a very nice instructor, and was more then happy to answer questions.
