Meet Dani

We’re Kaytee and Dani, and we run Warmth & Wellness here in Paignton on the English Riviera. We met sea swimming about four years ago and our friendship grew in those early‑morning moments — shivering on the seafront, wrapped in towels, talking about life, family and the things that keep us grounded. One morning after a 6am dip, Kaytee shared her vision of women gathering around her dining room table to eat nourishing food, learn about nutrition and feel held in a gentle, welcoming space. We were both instantly up for it. We can’t even remember how we advertised that first supper club, but women showed up, embraced our experiment and something special began to unfold.A typical day for us is a blend of real life and the work we love. We’re juggling family life, navigating teenagers, school, planning events, and testing recipes — all while managing not just our own emotions but the emotions of our children. The mental load is real. Life brings its ups and downs, and we try to flow with it, picking each other up when we need to. We both love learning — from nutrition and gut health to nervous system support, cold‑water swimming and hands‑on creativity — and that curiosity shapes everything we build together.The supper clubs began with Kaytee’s idea of gathering women and sharing what she’d learned about food and nourishment. Dani brought the recipes and her love of cooking, which Kaytee fully embraced, and now we both enjoy experimenting with whatever ingredients we can get our hands on. What started around a kitchen table has grown into something much bigger. Recently, we moved our supper clubs into a small tearoom, giving us more space, more ease and the chance to welcome even more women into the warmth of what we’re creating.Sea swimming and sauna have become part of our rhythm too. Even when life gets busy and it takes a back step, we return to it with more intention. There’s something about the cold water and the warmth of a Dartmoor sauna that keeps us connected to nature and reminds us to slow down.At the heart of it all, we care deeply about connection, nourishment and community — and we simply want to share what has supported us, in the hope it supports others too.

Why Dani became a Mother Cuppa ambassador

For us, becoming Mother Cuppa ambassadors happened really naturally. Our supper clubs have always started with cups of tea — mostly herbal blends — because there’s something grounding about beginning a gathering with warmth, calm, and a moment to settle in. When we came across Mother Cuppa, we instantly loved the taste, the quality and the care behind every blend. It felt like exactly the kind of tea we wanted to serve: something created with women’s health in mind, made with carefully selected ingredients, and rooted in sustainability.We also loved that Mother Cuppa is a small, women‑led English business. That mattered to us. We want to support brands that align with our values — thoughtful, intentional, and created by women who genuinely care about wellbeing. The blends look beautiful, taste amazing, and fit perfectly with the kind of spaces we create at Warmth & Wellness.And then there’s the community. Candice has built something really special — a group of likeminded, supportive, down‑to‑earth women who lift each other up. Being part of that felt like a natural extension of what we already do. It wasn’t a big decision or a strategic move; it was more of a “this feels right” moment.Mother Cuppa blends slot so easily into our events and our daily lives. They’re a simple, nourishing ritual — and sharing them with other women just made sense.

Dani's Favourtite blend

Dani’s favourite blend is Hydrate. I know I need to drink water to stay hydrated, but plain water is boring and I’m not keen on juices or squash. Hydrate tastes so good, I make a big pot and drink it throughout the day. It supports hydration, helps with mineral balance, and keeps me feeling steady — it just works for me.
Kaytee’s favourite blend is Relax. I have it as my night‑time tea and it switches the off‑button for me. It helps bring calm when my nervous system feels overwhelmed and quiets a busy mind before sleep. It’s a simple evening ritual that helps me wind down.

About Brew Crew

Mother Cuppa was built differently.

As a female founder, I wanted to grow this business in a way that supports other women too — sharing our profits with those introducing the blends, rather than relying on traditional retail.

Our Brew Crew is made up of women who love the teas and want to be part of something more — earning alongside building confidence, connection and community.

When you shop through a Brew Crew members page, you’re directly supporting our ambassadors as well as a small, female-founded business.

Much Love

Candice
