Nani Lotus

Our Business

We started doing the krafty thing back in 2006, under a  pseudonym called Uisce Creations. Uisce means water in Gaelic (uisce beatha = water of life), and as we're both water signs & a wee bit Irish, we thought it was fitting. But one thing lead to another which lead to another which lead to us changing our name and starting anew with something that reflected where we are now more so than where we were, if that makes sense. We were thinking 'amrita lotus', which, oddly enough, 'amrita' means nectar of life in Sanskrit (and Rita is the name of my mother's mom), but then decided to go the Hawaiian route instead, as Mom & I are both heavily drawn to the islands. 'Nani' means beauty or beautiful in Hawaiian (and maternal Grandmother in Hindi!) and thus we are... Beautiful Lotus.

Why a lotus? Expect that answer soon!

Who We Are 

We are a mother-daughter team who creates a variety of original, handmade crafts with bountiful amounts of light! We are believers of learning in this lifetime, and we hope you join us in our process of learning the art of crafting.

We recently answered the call of Reiki, which fell in line with what we had already started with the crafting thing. The daughter (me!), Allison, is a newly minted Reiki II Practitioner and would love to discuss opportunites about a session with you. The mother, Susan, is a Reiki I Practitioner herself.

Susan is the one who creates the jewelry, I am the one in charge of the website, businessy stuff, soaps, knitted goods - all the random items you see on the site!

If you have any questions, please contact me info @ nanilotus . com or Susan catseye @ nanilotus . com.
