Shop now →The story
The initial range of herbal and homeopathic remedies started in her private practice, then expanded to retail. Today Feelgood Health operates from Capricorn Business Park in Cape Town and has formulated over 300 natural remedies distributed locally and internationally (partnered with Native Remedies in the USA). The remedies are positioned for whole-family use: products like Focus and Calm for school-age children, Brightspark for ADHD support, Sleepy Sprinkles and Oral Soothe Teething Sprinkles for babies. The standard from day one is no preservatives, no artificial chemicals, cruelty-free, and environmentally responsible. Every product is formulated, vetted, and signed off by Michele personally.
As a psychologist and a mother, I saw too many children put onto medication too quickly. There had to be a gentler first step. So I formulated one.Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Feelgood Health
What makes them different
-
01
Clinical Psychologist Formulated
Founder Michele Carelse is a registered clinical psychologist with decades of practice in mood and child mental health. Every formulation goes through her personally. The clinical knowledge is built into the brief.
-
02
Whole-Family Range
Products are formulated across life stages, from teething sprinkles for babies to focus and mood support for school-aged children to adult anxiety and sleep remedies. The range is the practice scaled.
-
03
Herbal and Homeopathic
Combines herbal extracts (chamomile, passionflower, valerian, lemon balm) with homeopathic preparations. Both modalities, used together where the formulation calls for it.
-
04
Clean and Cruelty-Free
No preservatives, no artificial colourants or flavourants, no animal testing. All formulations meet Michele's standard: natural, gentle enough for her own family, effective enough to be the first option rather than the last.

Touring the range
Three doorways into the brand: entry, classic, specialty.
The everyday calm and focus pair
If Feelgood Health is new to your home, start with Focus and Calm. It covers the most common adult and school-child use case: needing to concentrate, settle nerves, or sleep more easily without sedation or pharmaceuticals. Suitable across most ages.
The infant and child range
For young families, Sleepy Sprinkles and Oral Soothe Teething Sprinkles cover the two highest-stress baby use cases. Both homeopathic, both safe from infancy, both designed to be added to food or bottle without taste change.
ADHD and behaviour support
Brightspark is the specialist product. Used by parents of children with attention and behaviour concerns, often alongside or instead of conventional ADHD medication. Homeopathic, no stimulant content, gentle enough for daily long-term use.
