About Take Time To Relax

About us

Hello, I am Kathrin a working mum based on the Gold Coast and the creator and face behind Take Time to Relax. It’s so important for us to take care of ourselves allowing us to not only feel better but interact with our loved ones from this calmer place. Our relaxation products and gift boxes have been years in the making with lots of thought going into each creation and was born out of a need for what I needed at a challenging time and that was quick easy ways to relax.

After teaching yoga and meditation since 2005 (Kathrin's Yoga), I knew the many positive benefits it provides when practiced regularly. After the birth of my little girl, I experienced some medical complications and with little family close by, not only was I exhausted but my mental health began to suffer too. It was then I realized self care isn’t just indulgent day spa trips but actually an important thing we need to do to take care of ourselves well. I noticed taking even just a few minutes to try to relax (Even if they were quick ones in the toilet!) and taking longer moments when I could and doing it regularly, I noticed the benefits of feeling a bit better, calmer and more tolerant. I drew upon my yoga, meditation and life coaching experience and started to write down various tip to inspire me when I needed a little motivation on more challenging days and hence our relax cards were born. From here it grew into creating aromatherapy products I could use to either help me relax and reduce my anxiety or pick me up when I was feeling a bit tired and unmotivated. As an allergy, asthma and migraine sufferer, I tend to shy away from synthetic fragrances as it can aggravate my symptoms. For this reason our rollers, bath soaks and relaxation sprays and mists are made only with pure essential oils and no artificial fragrances. I have excitedly created beautiful gift boxes which contain aromatherapy products hand made with care by me with carefully selected products for their relaxation benefits to provide you or someone who needs it with a little box of relaxation.

My hope is that our relaxation products will help to encourage us women to take more time to relax and look after ourselves. Taking time

regularly to relax, rest and recharge will help you not only feel calmer but be a

happier more relaxed version of yourself and for your loved ones too.

Why not give the gift of relaxation to yourself or a deserving Mumma or

best friend today?

I also teach yoga and relaxation workshops on the Gold Coast and will be including some meditation recordings down the track on here as well. Feel free to join our newsletter to stay in touch and keep up to date on new products and upcoming workshops or follow our journey on Facebook and Instagram. See links below. 

Thank you so so much for not only supporting my little business but my

dream to help us women relax more and feel better.

Sending lots of love and relaxation your way,

Kathrin xoxo
