Our Story
At Cleaver Baye, we’ve always had a deep-rooted love for nature, and while foraging was where our story began, we've now found a new way to bring those soothing natural inspirations into your home. Our journey into candle-making is just as intentional. Each candle we craft is infused with the calming essence of our nature walks and the uplifting scents we’ve come to cherish.
As a single mother with two children and two dogs, those daily walks in Surrey and Kent are still a cherished family tradition. But now, we’re capturing that sense of peace and bringing it indoors—turning those natural moments into beautifully scented candles that help you find a little tranquility in your own space.
While we continue to embrace that connection to the land, we’re excited to focus on these candles as a new chapter. It’s not just about crafting something lovely; it’s about bringing the calm and beauty of the outdoors into every room.
RE-CONNECTING US TO NATURE
At Cleaver Baye, our story began with simple adventures, walks in nature, moments of quiet foraging, and the joy of bringing a bit of that outdoor calm back home with us.
While we started with botanical soaps, we've now found a new passion in capturing those same feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation through our candles.
Every candle we create is like a little vessel of those adventures. It’s our way of bottling the zen, aura, and harmony we find in the natural world and letting you bring that same sense of peace into your own home.
Whether it’s in a soothing bar of soap or a calming candle scent, Cleaver Baye is all about continuing that feeling of tranquility from the outdoors to the heart of your living space.
I'M NATALIE
— an artist, maker, and lifelong admirer of the wild.
From a young age, I found comfort in creating — in using my hands to turn natural forms into something expressive, textured, and lasting.
That instinct only deepened with time, especially through motherhood.
Each bar & Candle is a piece of that world: a blend of wild elements, layered memory, and mindful design.
The Cleaver Baye Soap & Candle Company is more than a business — it’s an evolving body of work that reflects our love of nature.
Through every soap & Candle, infusion, and scent, I hope to share a sensory connection — to place, to season, to the joy of creating.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

THE CLEAVER BAYE DAIRIES
The Cleaver Baye Diaries are born from our walks through England’s wild woodlands and gardens. Each entry captures the spirit of discovery, the beauty of nature’s gifts, and that deep connection between family, the natural world, and the peacefulness of our indoor spaces.
With every season, each forage, and every creation, we honor the simple magic of living close to nature. By bringing the zen and harmony of our outdoor adventures into our sacred home space, our soaps & candles become a way to preserve those moments and foster mindfulness and healing indoors.
It’s our way of continuing that gentle connection to nature and letting its calming presence fill our everyday lives.
