Our Story

Elshka is more than a brand; it is a quiet offering to women who have been suffering in silence. We create intimate, plant-based care, handcrafted by a survivor for survivors—and for anyone navigating the quiet discomforts we often keep to ourselves.

Our journey began over 20 years ago, in a modest kitchen, when a 14-year-old girl sought relief from the injuries of sexual violence. With no relief that didn’t sting or burn, she turned to the plants she had grown up with—calendula and lavender—passed down through generations of strong country women who knew how to tend to wounds with their hands and hearts.

Sacred was born, a soft, grounding blend created to ease injuries, scar tissue, support a sting free bathroom experience, and soothing inflammation when tenderness is needed most. Sacred became her companion when words could not reach the pain.

"At 14, I crafted a remedy to quietly soothe my injured body and get through the school day. Sacred held me then—and still does today."

Years later, a sister blend was born—Divine—lighter, designed to comfort the everyday. For dryness, itching, swelling, intimacy concerns, menopausal shifts, or just the simple desire to feel good in your body again.

At Elshka, we honour every season of feminine healing. Whether you are walking the long road of trauma recovery or simply tending to everyday discomfort, we believe that no woman should walk it alone.

Born from a lineage of resilient women who believed in self-sufficiency, creation, and healing from the land, our founder continues their legacy—infusing every bottle with the same quiet love that first healed her own skin.

"These remedies are more than recipes—they are love notes to the women I cherish, and to every woman who quietly searches for comfort."

Since launching Elshka in January 2024, our small team of women now serves women across Australia—from Cape York to Tasmania and Exmouth—ensuring that every bottle arrives discreetly, lovingly, and ready to serve.

"You will only ever see my hands—because they hold the story. These hands have carried me through, and now they create for you. I choose to remain private due to the nature of my story, my hands are the stars"
– Summah, Founder
