I’m Mariette, based near Cambridge, and I run a small local pet care business alongside building a slower, more nature-led approach to wellbeing.Most of my days are spent outside, walking dogs, caring for animals, and being in nature, which has become such an important part of how I reset and recharge. As a single mum navigating perimenopause, life can feel full, unpredictable, and sometimes overwhelming, so I’ve learned to really value small, simple moments of calm.I’m drawn to slower living, gentle routines, and finding ways to support the nervous system in everyday life, not in a perfect way, but in a way that actually fits around work, family, and real life.For me, it’s often the simplest things that make the biggest difference, a walk outside, a quiet cup of tea, a few deep breaths, or just a moment to pause

I originally discovered Mother Cuppa through my interest in menopause and wellbeing, as I’ve been navigating my own perimenopause journey.There are days where energy dips, focus feels foggy, or everything just feels a bit more overwhelming than it should, and I was really drawn to the idea of using simple, natural rituals to support those moments.What resonated with me is how easy it is to bring into real life. It’s not about long routines or doing everything perfectly, it’s about small pauses in the day that help you slow down, reset, and feel a little more like yourself again

My favourite blend is Clarity. I really enjoy the more subtle flavour, and it’s the one I tend to reach for when I feel a bit overwhelmed or mentally busy.I often have it during a quieter moment in the day, sometimes after a walk or in between tasks, just as a way to pause and reset. For me, it’s less about a dramatic effect and more about creating a gentle shift, where things feel a little calmer and more settled.It’s become part of those small daily rituals that help me slow down and come back to myself, even on busy day.
