Mana in many indigenous traditions, means life force. The vital energy that flows through all living things. Way is the path we choose to walk.

Mana Way is the way of nourishment - the way of returning to ourselves, harnessing our power, and connecting to the wisdom of the earth.

Mana Way is a mother - led and family centred business, co- founded by me, Brooke and my husband, Isaac within the first years of parenthood.

I have lived with iron deficiency on and off for almost 2 decades. Like many women, I tried all sorts of iron supplements along the way. Most were harsh, synthetic, and came with side effects that left me feeling no better (and awfully constipated). It was through my own health journey, motherhood, and a deepening connection to natural and ancestral ways of living that I began to look for alternatives.

I discovered the benefits of organ meats, which I learnt were traditionally eaten first off the animal and revered for their ability to rebuild, restore, and sustain life. But fresh, organic organ meats aren’t easy to source and also not delicious to eat.

During my first trimester of pregnancy I truly felt how depleted I was. This is when I discovered beef spleen, which stood out for its naturally rich bioavailable amounts of iron, higher than any other food. I began taking spleen capsules and within two weeks I experienced a noticeable rise in my energy.

Around the same time, Isaac was working at a small local farm - the same farm our tallow comes from today. A passing comment from a customer about tallow and skin led me to my kitchen, where we usually cooked with tallow and I experimented with making a whipped cream from it. I was so in love and have used it on my face almost every day since.

Mana Way was created from a clear need I had and could also could see in others who were needing gentle, effective and convenient options to nourish and restore vitality in a season where our output is huge and our hands are full.

Modern life can be really depleting, especially in the years of motherhood. Between stress, depleted soils, toxins, and the lack of truly nourishing food, many women are running on empty. I believe that whole, nutrient-dense foods like beef organs offer one of the most powerful ways to rebuild strong foundations in the body. And I believe that what we put on our skin matters just as much as what we put in it.

At its core, Mana Way exists to support mothers to feel nourished, more vital, and more connected to their bodies, to the earth, and to a way of living that supports both, through using only high quality, sustainable, simple and intentional ingredients.
