The luminary behind the iconic Lovekins brand, Amanda has now embarked on a new endeavour Arafura Living. Inspired by the nuanced beauty of Australia's landscape and its Indigenous roots, Amanda felt a deep calling to continue her mission.

Amanda invites you to join her in this path of conscious living, a journey that transcends mere consumption and taps into the beating heart of the world’s longest living culture and its land.

Amanda's Background

Amanda Essery (née Chin) is a sixth generation Australian born Chinese from Darwin, The Northern Territory. Her free spirited and humble upbringing exposed her to the culinary love of food where her father Tony, a self-taught chef owned a restaurant with her late grandparents, using the best local produce and natural ingredients in cooking which influenced the course of her future. Deeply engrained by Indigenous culture which shaped the early years of Amanda’s life in the Northern Territory, she has a profound respect of Aboriginal native bush food and medicine.
