Tara Maher
Originally from the UK, Tracy made the move to Cork, 33 years ago. She first settled in West Cork before relocating to Kinsale where she now lives with her husband, and business partner, John Sullivan.
Tracy’s business background stemmed originally from working with Primark back in the UK before moving to Ireland to raise her family, but when her youngest went to school, she too returned to education and retrained in reflexology, broadening her holistic, massage and aromatherapy skills.
While working as a beautician, Tracy became conscious of the products she was using and began to notice the increase in harmful chemicals.
She began blending oils for her clients, realising the importance of natural, plant-based ingredients in skincare, which led to creating her own free from chemicals and artificial preservatives range. All her products are made entirely from plant-based ingredients, ensuring our products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from harmful chemicals.
To date, the Naturally Balanced line contains body oils, lip oils, face oils as well as soaps and foot soaks. Every product is hand-crafted with care and expertise, ensuring the highest quality and efficacy, and are designed to support not just your skin but your overall well-being, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing natural beauty.
Tracy sources her ingredients from Co. Wicklow, keeping to her mission of supporting Irish, but all her recipes and blending techniques are her own. On the Naturally Balanced website, naturallybalanced.ie, she has featured an ingredient glossary alongside a picture, detailed description and their benefits.
Tracy is an advocate for education and is dedicated to raising awareness and teaching her customers about natural ingredients, their benefits and how to accurately incorporate them into their routines for optimal results.
Tracy is a regular visitor to the Farm shop at the Marina Market and will be also showcasing her products in the Kinsale Showcase which takes place in Temperance Hall, Kinsale 10am - 6pm on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd of September. She will also have a stall in the Cork Mind Body Experience in Cork’s City hall which takes place on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of October.
