A Perth couple have opened a holistic wellbeing shop in the city, specialising in crystal healing, incense and homemade gifts.
Bonnie Moon Crystals is a project led by Carol Gall, 42, and her husband Dominic, 35.
It is intended that the shop – which opened today – will offer a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing.
Carol worked at Active Kids for seven years before getting a job at the Willowgate Café.
After being made redundant last July, she decided it was the right time to pursue her own business with her partner by her side.
She said: “I was made redundant and really wanted to make a go of being self- employed.
“I’ve always had a keen interest in aromatherapy, reiki, crystals and the moon.
“It’s sanctuary for my soul. This is literally a dream come true.
Bonnie Moon Crystals to specialise in holistic gifts
“My husband Dominic is a joiner but will be helping in the shop on Fridays and the weekend.”
The shop will stock everything from aromatherapy oils and handmade candles, to bespoke jewellery, incense and crystals.
Despite being a family with three children, the couple are keen to make a go of the shop.
“I’m determined to make it work,” Carol added.
She is also hoping to offer an alternative therapy, in a time where people are struggling with mental health.
‘People are in need of some calm’
She said: “In this day and age when lifestyles are so hectic and people are suffering from anxiety and depression and are in need of some calm in their lives, they are becoming more spiritual and are finding comfort from crystals and alternative therapies.
“Not only are they pretty but they are believed to help mental wellbeing, increase feelings of tranquillity and positivity.”
The shop is located on 140 South Street, Perth, near Tesco.
