From Kitchen Remedy to Global Wellness Brand

From Kitchen Remedy to Global Wellness Brand

Mrs Toddy’s Tonic began with a simple belief: the most effective wellness solutions come from real ingredients, kept as close to their natural state as possible.

Founder Sophie Todd was first introduced to the power of traditional tonics while living with her family in Bali. There, daily herbal brews made from botanicals such as turmeric, lemongrass, tulsi, and ginger were a way of life valued not as trends, but as time-honoured rituals to support balance and vitality. Experiencing their role in everyday wellbeing sparked a deep appreciation for plant-based wellness in its purest form.

Returning home to Avalon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Sophie struggled to find anything that matched the freshness, integrity, and simplicity she had experienced overseas. Determined to recreate it, she began brewing her own tonics at home using only whole botanicals never powders, concentrates, or extracts. The recipes were non-pasteurised, free from preservatives and artificial additives, and carefully balanced to deliver both flavour and function. Word spread quickly, and what started as a home kitchen ritual soon became known as Mrs Toddy’s Tonic.

As demand grew, Sophie partnered with food scientists and nutrition researchers to bridge traditional wisdom with modern innovation. Together, they developed a proprietary, patent-pending process designed to preserve the natural bioactive compounds found in botanicals. This process allows Mrs Toddy’s Tonics to remain unpasteurised yet shelf-stable setting them apart in the functional beverage space and ensuring each bottle stays true to the integrity of its ingredients.

Today, Mrs Toddy’s Tonic has evolved from a small-batch kitchen recipe into a globally recognised wellness brand, enjoyed by health-conscious consumers who value transparency, quality, and thoughtful innovation. Each tonic reflects our core principles:

Real ingredients, using whole botanicals with no synthetic substitutes
Functional wellness, inspired by adaptogens traditionally used to support balance and vitality
Sustainability, with mindful sourcing and responsible production
Innovation backed by science, with formulations currently undergoing clinical research into metabolic health in collaboration with Australian Catholic University

At its heart, Mrs Toddy’s Tonic remains true to Sophie’s original vision: a wellness drink made for real people who care about real ingredients.

Because when plants are left as close to their natural state as possible, they don’t just taste better, they do better.
