Kathy Phillips This Works

The story of Kathy Phillips and This Works is a powerful reminder that some of the most meaningful innovations are born from empathy. Long before wellness became a defining trend in the beauty industry, Phillips recognised the essential link between sleep, emotional wellbeing, and self-confidence. Rather than focusing solely on appearance, she sought to address how women feel, creating products focused on sleep, designed to help them rest, restore, and reconnect with themselves. Through This Works, she championed a more holistic vision of beauty; one rooted in balance, health, and everyday wellbeing. This has made her a pioneering figure in modern wellness.
