About

Hello!

I'm Charlotte, the founder of Soulful Scrubs. Welcome to my online store! I’d love to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about the journey that led to Soulful Scrubs.

I’m a creative, curious individual who, like many, struggled to figure out what I wanted to do early on. After completing a degree in textile design for fashion and interiors in the UK, I set off to travel, hoping to find artistic inspiration from around the world. But then, the pandemic hit, and I found myself settling down in Perth, WA. It was during this time that I landed a nursing job—and I absolutely fell in love with helping people.

As I delved into my studies on art therapy and mental health, I learned about the powerful science of colour psychology and how colour can directly influence our mental health and well-being. I realised there was a way to combine my two passions: creativity and caregiving. And so, Soulful Scrubs was born.

All of my art is designed in my colourful little studio, in the heart of Perth. Inspired by Australia’s "Fun Scrub Fridays," I felt compelled to design my own scrubs to wear to work. The impact was immediate. Not only did my colourful scrubs bring smiles to the faces of my colleagues, but they also sparked meaningful conversations with patients, especially those who had been bed bound for weeks. It created a sense of positivity and joy—exactly what the soul needs in such a high-pressure environment.

The colours in my designs are chosen with intention, influenced by the calming, energising, and uplifting effects of colour psychology. I’ve seen firsthand how a splash of vibrant colour can help reduce stress and foster a positive atmosphere for both patients and staff. As someone who still works in healthcare part-time, I understand the importance of self-care and mental well-being. In this demanding field, taking small steps like wearing something that brings joy can have a huge impact on mental health.

I couldn’t be happier to be on this creative journey, combining my love for design with my passion for helping others. Soulful Scrubs is still in its early days, but I have big plans for the future, with more designs already in the works. I can’t thank my supporters enough for their encouragement and belief in this vision.

Stay soulful, and thank you for being a part of this journey.

Much love,
Charlotte xoxo

Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It can work in our favour, or it can prevent us from enjoying things we once loved. At Soulful Scrubs, our mission is to promote positivity in healthcare, and we do this by sharing the power of colour! Through vibrant designs, we aim to uplift and inspire healthcare workers, helping them feel their best while spreading joy and positivity to both their patients and colleagues.

By incorporating bold, lively colours into the healthcare environment, we also bring awareness to important mental health conversations—creating opportunities for connection, support, and understanding where it’s needed most.
