Welcome To Estate An:Theo
My Experiences and Skincare Adventures









“It all began with a potato field…”
In 2009, my Greek husband and I and his life-long Greek friend and wife bought two adjacent former potato fields on the Greek island of Naxos— a 5 minute walk from the azure Aegean sea. We built two homes and, as is the local custom, named the place Estate An:Theo, a meshing of our two surnames and a translation to English of Greek “K’Tima”. Over the years we created a vineyard, an orchard, gardens, a lifestyle and a community that we, our extended families and our friends grew to love. The luxury of exploring off the beaten tourist track enriched me far beyond what I imagined.
Discovering Helichrysum.
One day in June, I met the herb Helichrysum, aka Immortelle, aka Curry Plant. It grows wild by the sea on Naxos. Nature truly does give us everything we need. Newly committed to trashing myself and our environment far less, I learned to compound a skin balm using Helichrysum infused in Greek olive oil and blended with local beeswax and organic tamanu oil. My journey to an effective botanical skin balm has been sweet with adventure and discovery.
Simple ingredients, simple routine.
Our signature Skin Healing Balm is blended from four ingredients only, direct from nature. Lovingly formulated to minimize environmental impact and maximize your glow.
Friends, Family and Neighbours
The island life we created and that we share on Naxos, the annual seasons that bring many gifts from the land, the people, the Aegean Sea, lures us to this home like a migrating species. We return to simpler times spent in relaxation, reflection, reading & learning, working around our property, hosting family and friends, and so much more.
