Hi, I'm Nicole.

I am a registered nurse, wellness advocate, and the hands and heart behind Sage & Suds Naturals. My journey into soap making started as a creative outlet, but it quickly grew into a deep passion that felt like coming home. With years of experience caring for others in a clinical setting, I began to realize that true healing and wellness often start with the simple, intentional rituals we create for ourselves—beginning with how we care for our skin, the body’s largest and most expressive organ.
Soap making brought together everything I love: science, nature, and a bit of kitchen witchery. As a nurse, I understand the importance of ingredients that are not only effective but also gentle and safe. As an herbalist-in-progress and lifelong nature lover, I find joy in working with the earth’s gifts—infusing my soaps with botanicals, essential oils, and nourishing goat milk to create products that feel like a daily ritual of care.
Sage & Suds is where the clinical meets the cozy, where evidence-based knowledge blends with age-old herbal wisdom. Each batch is handcrafted with care, guided by a belief that skincare can be both simple and sacred.
Though my heart is rooted in the rhythms of nature, I live and create in the heart of the big, bustling city—New York. Crafting in this fast-paced place keeps me grounded and intentional. It’s here, in a tiny kitchen tucked away from the noise, that I find calm in cauldrons of soap and quiet moments of ritual in the midst of the chaos.
Whether you’re here for the grounding scents, the nourishing ingredients, or a little moment of peace in your day—I’m so glad you’re here.
