Hey KORA Team
Just wanted to share my piccy with Miranda's amazing book, i was one of the winners to get a copy after The Sunday night special on Miranda and wow i have been so inspired!
I have suffered with agoraphobia and anxiety disorder over the last 2 years and reading one of Miranda's suggested positive quotes a day is really helping me turn around my thinking to adore the things i have and who i am...my own unique flower. So many, many thanks!!
Kindest Regards,
Caroline xx
Hello Miranda,
You have no idea how much inspiration I've collected from your book! There was a point of my life where I truly didn't appreciate myself and didn't have the strength and energy of living happily again. But now I try to enjoy the moment much as possible, and go through life with full of love and vibrancy! I use your affirmations daily, they help me visualize the importance of my daily life. It's sort of a ritual for me. Staying positive, and staying content in the present are one of the things that I've gained knowledge in this book. Such as nutrition and wellness, I've learned that moderation is the key to health. Never too much, never too little. But the most essential thing I've acknowledged through this lovely book is to treasure myself. Miranda, thank you very much for this magnificient book! You've been such a great role-model for me. Thanks to you, I know now that treasuring myself is the key to life!
Much love,
Wendy
G'day Miranda ,
Absolutely thank-you for sharing your beautiful skin care range with us .
I have been using kora skin care products for just on a month and the changes to my skin are fantastic , I no longer suffer from adult acne which I have had since my first child was born 15 yrs ago and I also use your enrich body lotion on my 8 year old daughter who suffer from eczema since she was 4 months old, her skin is starting to look gorgeous like the day when she was born . You are such an inspirational person to me and my three gorgeous daughters, I'm very grateful for it.
People who read this , it's all truthful I brought kora organic skin care range in parramatta sydney at David Jones on 31 August 2011 because I couldn't buy it in Launceston (Tasmania) at the time. The wonderful kora products I use are Foaming Cleanser, Balancing Rose Mist, Purifying Day and Night cream, Blemish Gel and last of all Ennriched Body Lotion.
Thank - you from the bottom of my heart Miranda

"Dear Miranda and the Kora Organics team, My name is Madeleine, and I am officially in love with Kora Organics and all it entails! I've recently moved out of home and into a university residence, it is a hard place to live and be healthy, in the first few weeks here I gained a lot of weight, my skin began to break out like a freakish nightmare and I felt sluggish almost all the time. Being an 18 year old, and living a healthy life can be hard especially when there is so much pressure to go out partying and drinking every other night and eat a lot of unhealthy foods. But Kora Organics inspired me to lead an organic lifestyle! I've been using the cream cleanser, the Rose mist at night, the soothing day and night cream, the exfoliating cream, Rich Body Lotion, and the amazing Rosehip oil, which doesnâ•˙t leave my side! I cannot pick a single favorite, as I love them all so much! They smell so gorgeous and I feel them working, leaving my skin feeling fresh and clean.
My friends say Iâ•˙m a copycat, but I say I've taken a risk and it paid off! I've begun recently to try and model my lifestyle off of the Kora Organics range and Miranda herself. That is to say; I have switched to an organic diet and started using only organic skincare, following the A-Blood-Type diet, begun drinking Noni juice and practicing Yoga daily. Iâ•˙ve lost almost 12 kilos, which is more than Iâ•˙ve gained in the last few months here, I spring out of bed every morning with boundless energy and my skin just glows, like I never thought it could! I feel healthy and alive! My family noticed such a difference when I first saw them after beginning to use the Kora range; my Mum and sister swear I'm a new person.
People ask me what I use on my skin, and how I maintain such energy and joy all the time, I always smile and tell them that it’s Kora! In the residence I live in, I am now the one people come to for advice about skincare and health, many have borrowed my copy of Treasure Yourself, and a large group of us are now cooking and eating organic foods together. We share everything now, joys and sadness, food and drink, skincare and exercise. It feels so amazing to know that I am helping, seeing such a difference in these people I live with. People admire what I'm doing and how I'm living and I owe it all to Kora. It feels incredible being a role model to just a few young people, Miranda must feel so amazing, she has helped so many people, directly or indirectly, by showing us how to make the most of life and of ourselves!
There is so much love here that I never knew existed, not in myself and not in anyone else, it pulsates around us and I can see it spreading to more and more people, it is amazing, truly. I wanted to thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, for not just giving me beautiful skin and a healthier body and mind, but for everything you have done to promote health, self-worth, and life! Your products have not just changed my life, but the lives of so many people I know and love."
Thankyou.

Sarah created the video testimony herself without any input from the KORA Organics Team. It is not scripted by KORA Organics but comes straight from Sarah's heart. This beautiful testimony was sent into us as a way of saying thank you and Sarah your heartfelt message, your confidence, yet humble, beautiful personality, shines through in your testimony and to the world. Congratulations honey, you are glowing with confidence and happiness, you look incredibly beautiful (beauty truly shines from within) and we are so very proud of you. It takes guts to share your story like you have, to show photos of yourself that you possibly never wanted the world to see, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Enjoy
I just started using Kora Organics 2-3 weeks ago and already I'm feeling the benefits of this amazing range of skin care. My Mum purchased the essential body wash, cream cleanser, balancing rose mist, hydrating day and night cream, enriched body lotion, blemish gel, hydrating mask, daily hand cream and exfoliating cream for myself - and my brother, who shares the exfoliating cream with me.
My brother is 15 and he has had extremely problematic skin on his chest, face and back, but since he has been using the exfoliating cream his blemishes have began dramatically fading. I recommended that he buy a Kora cleanser and moisturizer to suit his skin type because the cream cleanser and the other array of Kora products I have used so far have worked so well for me and allowed my skin to really grow and thrive.
I am currently in the process of reassessing my diet and have introduced smoothies with Goji berries and Chia into my diet, I also exercise more regularly and try to have a more healthier, organic outlook on life thanks to Kora Organics' skin care range, the blog and its entire vision. I read the blog almost everyday to check for any updates and I enjoy reading the posts, being an avid reader of this blog and a strong believer of Kora Organics I would love to say thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you for helping myself and my brother with letting our true light shine through. I really do feel beautiful and confident now - this is coming from an 18 year old girl who never smiled or showed her teeth in photos and dreaded the thought of herself in them at all. I can now smile without a thought - I can't wait to order my copy of Treasure Yourself, I'm sure it will be amazing.
Lots of love
Kristen
Hi KORA,
Hope your well.
I have never come across products that can change my appearance dramatically. Your products are amazing and refreshing.
I have to place another order soon as their getting to the last drops
I keep the rosehip mist spray on me at all times, which I even do a spray or two between my opens on a Saturday :)
I feel that I can tackle any day with it my bag!
I never thought there would be a day I leave the house without foundation..But true. Now I use the tinted moisturiser which gives me a fresher look than when I was wearing foundation.
The confidence boost that they have given me is amazing!!
I cannot thank you enough.
How's the home going? have a lovely weekend and speak to you soon.

I have been using Kora for the past 5months and it's hard to put into words how much it has changed my life. I have always taken a rather natural approach to life but Kora has encouraged me on a whole new level. Although supporting my body internally, I have suffered with problematic acne prone skin for years, nothing i was using externally was helping at all, it either made the problem worse or completely dried it out, I knew there had to be another way....
I decided to give Kora a try as I was drawn to Miranda's energy, philosophy & loved what Kora represented. Wow, i can honestly say the energy that comes out of these products is truly phenomenal, the intent with which these were created is an obvious testament to Mirandas character. From the first time I used Kora, (foaming cleanser, citrus mist, soothing cream, exfoliant, blemish gel, rosehip oil & tinted day cream) I instintively knew this was what my skin needed, true nourishment....after a couple of weeks i was noticing a radiance to my skin, improved hydration levels and healing of existing acne and soothing of redness. The Kora team are amazing, the support from Therese has been so beautiful, I've never dealt with a company with such integrity and warmth.....Kora's blog is fantastic too, it really isn't just a skincare company but represents a way of life...Kora feels like a community & i feel blessed to be a part of it. Thankyou so much for creating these products :)
If my story can help anyone in anyway it is worth sharing...
Lots of Love

Dear Therese,
I just HAD to write to you today! I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about the evening we had at Organicus and what an absolute pleasure it was to meet you and your family and friends! Thank you so much for the event, I could have stayed all night listening to you guys speak and hearing your stories.
I was sitting right at the front in a white blazer if you remember me I think I was grinning the whole time… I was just so mesmerised watching you and Kate speaking! You both are the most sparkly glowing, sweet women ever .. you just exude radiance and health and are an inspiration to all of us. I’m not sure how many people in the room are avid KORA followers like myself lol but I hope so as it really adds so much happiness to my life reading your blog and learning much more about my health and ways to improve it.
I am English, I’m 26 and have lived here for 3 years with my gorgeous amazing man Andy. 2 years ago I got diagnosed with Cervical Cancer, an absolute shock and I am sure you can image a difficult time in my life, luckily it turned out to be a misdiagnosis and slightly less sinister as I was at the stage just before actual cancer, pre-cancer if you will, but to my shock the dangerous cells had gone deep into the tissue. Mums and daughters have this amazing bond don’t they, boys do to but it’s not the same (sorry boys!) .. my amazing mum bond has to stretch all the way over to England so at times I just need my mum here with me but with her long distance support and the support of the amazing Andy I am here healthy, happy and smiling, I hope I get my own baby one day and I get the chance to give as much as Miranda does to baby Flynn. I had two operations at the start of the year and had 2 biopsies again this week so I await my results and I hope this chapter of my life is now over. Shortly after my diagnosis and to my despair I developed Acne. I guess these things come hand in hand don’t they! This point is where my life changed. I went through feeling sorry for myself, ‘why me’ and then depression teamed with binge eating… and then I got some counselling and decided to really change things around once and for all! I started reading up and looking at what I was putting in my body and on my body and what was in these things, I just couldn’t stop researching and absorbing all I was finding out! It’s baby steps when you don’t have hundreds in the bank, changing a few things here and there and trying stuff and saving up and researching and trial and error but with each change I really felt so different.
I had a pretty difficult time from the age of about 13-20 where I was forced to be an adult when I should have been busy being a young person, I know a lot of people go through trauma and get through, and lots worse than me, I have always been ok but I was very much ‘stuck’ in the past and sadness and negative times and lots of body image problems….I’m sure my cervical issues were my bodies way of snapping me back to attention, getting out of the ‘stuck’ way of thinking and letting these feelings go. I also used to be an absolute luxury cosmetic addict! My bathroom cupboard used to be full to the brim with creams and lotions and potions!! not anymore! I realized so much how important it is to be clear headed, positive, loving and healthy and the discovery what these products had in them was a shocking one. Back to Organicus - I watched you Therese, standing there in front of me, you were gorgeous in orange and talking so energetically about something you obviously feel so strongly about, I could see you just wanted to share all you know about all these foods and products you have come across and I am completely there with you, I want to shout from the roof tops how wonderful all these super foods and organic foods and KORA products make me feel and how it’s not just a product it’s a lifestyle change. KORA really was the final piece in my puzzle. I had the positive thinking, the new energy, the healthy life style and the recovery going on but I still had the acne. Just wouldn’t shift. So many companies are plastering organic over everything so it's confusing when you are looking and I must admit I had even considered some chemical options again just because I was despairing. I have always had a self confidence issues and I tend not to read fashion magazines much just as I often find myself comparing and fretting .. but I just happened across an article about your lovely Miranda and the mention of KORA, I hadn’t heard of it before. In a few clicks on your site I was hooked. I was a bit sceptical at first about the products but you’ll see from the attached photos the change in my skin in my after pics! and that's just after 4 months and my skin is glowing and so soft and hydrated my confidence has blossomed … I’m still really struggling with some blocked pores. I wondered if you had some advice? I use foaming cleanser, citrus spray, purifying moisturizer, exfoliating cream, and tinted day cream .. all products I love. I have been saving up so plan to buy a mask and body cream too this time around. I am still getting breakouts often but not nearly as bad as before and I smell amazing! I could use some expert help with getting my gorgeous KORA skin if I can help the pores.
I love my Sydney life now, I spend my weekends shopping at our local farmers market buying all of our lovely foods, and I wash them and just love the colour and the freshness of foods it makes me so happy as does cooking and preparing healthy meals. I wash my face with KORA and love the smell and the richness and the love that’s put into the brand (and the fact when I dry my face after cleansing there is never any make up left on my white towel it's squeaky clean skin) and I love my health shop visits searching the isles for new things to try and my staple favourites that now fill my cupboards and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE each week relaxing on my lunch break reading the KORA blog updates. I have wasted YEARS feeling sad, self loathing, depressed and demotivated this really is my time to shine and stay healthy inside and out and that is exactly what I am doing and I feel so good.
You touch lives KORA team in so many ways, I can’t believe I got to meet you Therese you are wonderful!
Love and hugs
Leanne xx
Ps Miranda is the most lovely girl I've ever had the pleasure of meeting through her book. You must be so proud, she is beautiful inside and out. Thank you for your research Miranda.
Pps I tried the sample of the hydrating mask .. OMG ... It's like silky pink icing and is so soothing and the smell is divine, it's amazing how you've used clay but it doesn't leave that tight feeling clay masks give ...my skin looks fabulous I have just put in an order!
Hi Miranda + Kora Team, I have never written a testimonial before but I just can't get enough of Kora Organics! I am 16 years old and ever since I turned 13 I have suffered with problematic skin and mild acne. I have tried so many products over the last 3 years, trying to find something that suited my oily but sensitive skin. I had also tried a few antibiotics for my acne and although they made a small difference to the amount of pimples on my skin, they made my skin feel dry, itchy, and I still had lots of scarring on my chin and forehead. Many other cleansers that I had tried in the past were extremely harsh, and made my skin feel tight and dry. I first tried Kora at a friends house, and immediately after using the Foaming Cleanser, Rosehip Oil, and Tinted Moisturizer, My skin felt absolutely amazing. It was left feeling nourished, moisturized without feeling oily, and my skin was glowing! As soon as I returned home my mum asked what I had done to my skin, and after I told her about Kora, she decided to surprise me with some Kora Products for my birthday! I am currently using the Foaming Cleanser, Blemish Gel, Exfoliating Cream, Rosehip Oil, and Day and Night cream. I have never loved any skincare product as much as I love Kora. I have only been using Kora for a few weeks but I have absolutely no pimples, my skin is constantly glowing, and my scars have almost completely disappeared. I have stopped using the antibiotics and harsh creams, and my skin is still looking fantastic. I also love that the products are organic- I know that I am nourishing my skin and not using toxic chemicals that damage my skin. They smell, look, and feel natural and beautiful, and it's great to know that such simple, natural ingredients are so effective. I had also spent a lot of time looking for an organic product that worked for me, but many of the products I tried weren't made for oily skin and were way too rich, making my acne worse. For three years, my confidence levels were extremely low due to my skin. I was often teased about it, and even hated going out with friends, being in photographs, and going to school as I felt really self conscious. Having problematic skin can make you feel absolutely terrible. I have wanted to be a model since I was about 9 years old, and I felt as if I had absolutely no chance as my skin was so bad. Now I have even been asked to do a photo shoot that is coming up in a week, and I am super excited! The Kora Organics blog has also inspired and motivated me to live a healthy organic lifestyle. I am now eating for my blood type, practicing yoga and Pilates on a regular basis, meditating, and making lots of delicious organic meals for my family, who had previously been eating quite unhealthily. My new found passion for healthy eating and nutrition has inspired my family to stop eating fast food for dinner nearly every night, and filling their body with nutrients and vitamins. This has especially changed my life for the better. It's all thanks to Kora Organics that I don't have to have a separate section of the fridge for my organic ingredients, and I know that my family are enjoying the benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle too. I can't wait to try other products Kora has to offer, Like the Tinted Moisturizer, Citrus Mist, hand cream, and Purifying Mask. Even when I have gotten a facial in the past, my skin has never felt so soft and clean. I look forward to coming home from school and using the Kora products- I don't feel like washing my face is a chore now. For the first time ever I can say that I feel beautiful in my own skin and I have confidence! I would like to truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for young girls and women. I have always looked up to you. I feel that you radiate happiness and are so kind to everyone you talk to. You have motivated me to live my life to the full, be the best I can be, and love and accept myself for who I am. I am forever grateful for all that you have done. Lots of Love, Violet. x
