About Us

Hello, I am Jananie and this is my story. Firstly, I would like to thank you for being here. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate and support Nila. Thank you to my family for being amazing and allowing me to be me. You all have and continue to inspire me. Thank you angels for guiding me here and making this possible, I love you and I am proud of you.

Nila to me is a beautiful creation from the essence of the divine. It is nature’s magic channelling through me to share with you all, and I.  

Back in 2022 I had recently graduated from the university of Brighton with a Psychology degree. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at university and am left with precious memories, but knew I did not want to follow the usual post university route. The three years for me was a major turning point in my life, granting me experiences to feel growth and understand just how special, powerful and magical I am, we are. I spent a lot of time alone and in nature which has guided me to truly understand myself. This new chapter of my life led me to question what I was going to do post university, living back at home and away from my a place that revealed to me who I truly was again. I knew through faith that all was going to be amazing and exciting, and so it was.

Post university I understood to take care of my physical body, as well as my mental/ spiritual. For most of my teenage years I was blindly experiencing the effects of hormonal imbalances. It was not until coming back home did I realise that this was the reason for some issues I faced growing up. Through being home, learning from everything around me and eating Amma’s food, I was beginning to heal and noticed a significant improvement in myself. I set the intention to better my health to bring about balance. I learnt my cycles and got closer to the divine.

I was on a mission to be more optimised  in my lifestyle, and a step closer to healing made me prioritise clean products that do not disrupt the natural balance.

This journey was the beginning of Nila.

Nila to me is the embodiment of the female energy in its essence of caring for itself and intending to work with its rooted natural magic. Derived from the Tamil word ‘nila’, meaning moon, Nila embraces the symbolism of the moon, celebrating its association with the female energy, transformation and interconnectedness of all beings. The name Nila came to me in such a beautiful moment spent under the moon with my family, listening to Tamil songs. In this moment I knew I was working through something different than I was used to.

I have grown to become very appreciative of my background and culture. I am a 24 year old Tamil girl and I spent many of my younger years not feelings like I was always able to rep my identity. But, here I am now defying all, channelling my inner brown ancestors and feeling proud.

Passed down from generation to generation, from love to more love, understanding to heal ourselves with the nature has been shared. I have been fortunate to experience this through my family and their traditions. My Amma and Appa have healed us with their hands and herbs which were used to heal them when they were little. The understanding of using this for self-care and beauty was shared from my Ammama. I believe that this has clearly beautifully manifested through me as my own magic.

Nila is anchored in the belief that your own unique balance is what makes you you and when kept at the frequency of love, you flourish. Nila is inspired by Ayurveda which is an ancient healing system that is centred  on profound understanding that balance is essential for wellbeing. It recognises the interconnectedness of the body, mind and spirit. I use my faith in this to channel my magic in the form of my ancestors, mine and my loved ones’ self-care potions.  

I have patiently and intentionally channelled my love through my art and am creating pieces that I am proud of. I am working closely with my special Amma who has wise, loving and magical hands and too has poured love into this.

My intention is to invite you on an avenue that allows you to reconnect with yourself. I strongly believe that prioritising self-care, in any form when channelled through love, gives the opportunity to heal you on a physical, mental and spiritual level. When referring to healing I mean to live in your own unique natural balance that brings about peace. I encourage you to slow down and live more intentionally. Take your time, pour love into yourself and watch how everything feels lighter. Pour love and patience into your skin and hair and watch how you feel radiant.

Nila and our offerings have been made tangible through time, faith, intuition and love. I have been guided to give us another reminder, amongst the infinite, on just how powerful we and our natural roots are.

Thank you again and I wish you a beautiful journey.

I love you.
