Welcome to Soap & Stethoscope!

I’m Nurse Ney, a nurse in my 40s and a passionate soap maker. With my vibrant red hair and curious eyes, I embrace the balance of my nursing career, motherhood, and soapy adventures. Having dedicated years to caring for others, I’ve cultivated compassion and a deep understanding of wellness—physically and emotionally. I discovered that handcrafting nourishing soap not only fuels my creativity but also aligns with my commitment to holistic health. Here, I share my experiences, tips, and the joy of creating artisan soap while juggling nursing and family life. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a soap-making enthusiast, a busy mom, or simply seeking inspiration, I hope you find value in my journey. As Maya Angelou said, “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” This quote inspires me to evolve through my passions and challenges. Join me on this journey exploring the healing power of self-care through soap making and nursing. Together, let’s celebrate the beauty of life, one soap bar at a time!
