Welcome to Yaye. My name is Melissa Cole, and I am a proud Warumungu and Luritja woman from Mparntwe (Alice Springs). Growing up in the heart of Central Australia, I developed a deep respect for the land, its resources, and the incredible women who have shaped my journey.

My years in education allowed me to collaborate with and learn from amazing women I fondly call my "Yaye's" – my sisters. These women have been my strength and support, and they inspire me every day. I named my business Yaye in their honour.

Our products are infused with ethically sourced bush medicine extracts from native Central Australian plants, showcasing the profound cultural knowledge of our ancestors.
