About Our Founder
Founded in 2019 by Kerrilee Philp a proud Ngiyampaa and Barkindji woman whose lineage can be found in the remote communities of Murrin Bridge, Ivanhoe and Menindee, was born and raised in Griffith on Wiradjuri country. Kerrilee is a single mother of three, Jyelah, Lijanah and Kingston. Jyelah, Kerrilee's first born died during delivery due to shoulder dystocia resulting in fetal asphyxiation in 2009. Kerrilee drew inspiration for her business name from her late daughter Jyelah and often supports charities and local organisations with a strong focus on supporting families who have also experienced pregnancy and infant loss. Kerrilee also drew inspiration for Jyelah Mind & Body from her two Aboriginal grandmothers Beryl and Fay, who have both passed down traditional knowledge of bush medicine harvesting and application to their granddaughter. Kerrilee and her children have their own story of suffering with sensitive skin, and prior to establishing her business she had been experimenting with natural ingredients for over a decade. This experimenting eventually became the driving force behind Kerrilee launching Jyelah Mind and Body.
