About Me – With Love From Goa

Hi, I’m Louise Fernandes, the heart behind With Love From Goa.

What started as a personal journey soon turned into something much more meaningful. I began making natural candles and skincare products out of a desire to simplify what I was using every day—choosing ingredients that felt gentle, honest, and closer to nature. Like many people, I became more aware of what goes onto my skin and into my home, and I wanted alternatives that felt safe, comforting, and intentional.

Living in Goa, I’ve always been inspired by slow living, warm scents, and the simple joy of creating things by hand. I started experimenting in small batches—blending oils, pouring candles, and learning through trial and error. What began as something just for myself and loved ones quickly grew as more people connected with the idea of mindful, natural products.

Every product I make is crafted with care, patience, and attention to detail. I believe in keeping things simple, using ingredients that are thoughtfully chosen, and creating pieces that bring a sense of calm and comfort into your everyday life.

With Love From Goa is more than a brand—it’s a reflection of my journey, my values, and my love for handmade, natural living.

Thank you for being here.

— Louise Fernandes
