Creator & Owner of The Dark Island Soap Co. Holistic Herbalist and Reiki Master
Chiara is an Edinburgh native who now resides in the beautiful Stirlingshire countryside with her young family, partner and Labrador, “Tag!” Since 2022, she has been a full-time, self-taught soap maker, who has studied for studying for and completed a business diploma in soap making; learning about the importance of creating cold process soap safely. Along with being a traditional soap maker, Chiara now creates award winning, plant-based skincare, seeing most of the ingredients she uses wild foraged near her Stirlingshire home. As an avid herbologist, Chiara understands and appreciates the wonderfully healing power of nature, and, just like the seasons, appreciates that everything blooms in its own time. In the autumn of 2022, after the loss of her father, Chiara studied Usui Shiki Rhoyo Reiki and is now a respected Reiki Master Healer, with a diploma in Shamanic Energy Healing and Crystal Healing.
