About us: The ShebaHenna story
Body art heals, empowers, and brings women together.
ShebaHenna is founded on this belief.
ShebaHenna is more than just a brand; it's a movement. We're here to empower women to express their unique stories and identity through the ancient art of henna.
Every stroke of henna is a symbol of your strength, creativity, and connection to the world.
Our mission? To nurture a community for creativity, self-expression, and connection.
The therapeutic power of creative expression, and its role in improving mental health, are at the heart of ShebaHenna’s vision.
Turning stress into strokes of beauty: my journey
“Pack your bags, they're coming…”
Clutching the small suitcase packed with her life’s belongings, an 8-year old girl hopefully stares at cars passing by the front door.
She’s told they’ll be there at any moment. But hours later, her stomach starts to feel both hollow and heavy at the same time.
Excitement turns into anxiety. “Mum. Dad?”
Nobody arrives. And nobody did.
Growing up without the security of both parents, moving from city to city, and often feeling the loneliness that comes with fleeting friendships and being bullied, I found peace in the world of art.
Drawing became my escape from a shaky home and social life.
Noticing my need for a creative refuge, an aunty introduced me to an ancient South Asian body art form known as henna—based on an organic red dye prepared from the henna tree.
It not only became my passion, but my way of dealing with a world in which I had no control.
Henna turned stress into strokes of beauty; strangers curious about my designs turned into friends.
It taught me the truth that art, particularly the body art of henna, has the power to heal, to connect, and to empower.
This revelation is the beating heart of ShebaHenna. It led me to become a henna artist. And it’s why I decided to make henna and temporary body art more accessible to women in the UK through ShebaHenna.
