Our Story
Serotonin Toronto was founded by Sarah, a Toronto-born social worker with a rich cultural heritage; her mother is of Filipino descent, and her father of Ghanaian descent. Growing up in a family that values traditional healing practices, Sarah developed a deep appreciation for the historical roots and cultural significance of herbalism, aromatherapy, and holistic wellness.
From long commutes on the TTC to demanding workdays, Sarah has personally navigated burnout, anxiety, and even periods of depression. At one point, Sarah reached a significant stage of burnout that forced her to seek support from a naturopath. After running some tests, she learned that her serotonin levels were low.
This became a turning point in her wellness journey. In conjunction with other holistic practices, she discovered a sense of balance and peace through aromatherapy, herbalism, and mindful living- experiences that inspired her to make these practices accessible to others.
Today, Sarah handcrafts every product from her home studio, ensuring each one is made with love, care, and intention. Using 90-100% natural ingredients and eco-friendly packaging that is compostable, recyclable, reusable and even plantable, Serotonin Toronto creates self-care products- not to replace professional care- but to further support your wellness rituals.
Serotonin Toronto exists to help people find balance in everyday life, whether that means boosting energy naturally, sleeping more deeply, or carving out moments of calm amid a busy schedule. Beyond products, the vision is to foster a community of like-minded individuals who care about their wellness, the environment, and one another.
Feel-good self-care, fuelled by nature & handcrafted with love in Toronto.
Our Mission
At Serotonin Toronto, our mission is to create natural self-care and wellness products that support the mind, body, and soul through a holistic framework. We recognize that aromatherapy and herbalism trace back to centuries of diverse cultures, and it’s important to honor these traditions while making wellness inclusive and accessible. We aim to build a community where diverse voices are welcomed, and safe spaces exist for open conversations about mental wellness, holistic self-care, and supporting each other and the planet.
Our Vision
We envision a world where holistic wellness is accessible to all, and where people are empowered to make informed choices about the products they use on their bodies and in their daily lives. We aim to foster awareness about the impact of harmful chemicals— from endocrine disruptors to skin irritants— so that wellness extends beyond self-care rituals and into the broader ways we nurture our bodies, minds, and the environment.
Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive space for diverse communities to explore wellness, engage in open conversations about mental health, and cultivate connection, balance, and well-being for all.
