Lacey's Story
In 2022 I began my struggles with mental health. Highschool was rough and I had no coping mechanisms. Then in 2023 a few things clicked, I was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD and I started experimenting with new ways to help manage my emotions. One day I was Scrolling TikTok and a video of a young girl taking a plush out to the shops came up on my FYP. My fate was sealed. For two years I didn't go anywhere without my plushie (or ESSA if you want to be technical). I taught every person who I encountered about emotional support stuffed animals and eventually I had the idea of starting my business. It took weeks and weeks of website editing, posting videos and finalising wholesalers before I could launch. But when I did, it bloomed. Slowly but surely I was getting more and more orders. Goodness me how we've grown since then. Every change, every memory and every order just makes my love for this business grow.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us this far. We love you.

Hello everyone! I just want you to know that there are millions of people out there who struggle with ADHD and anxiety ( I personally struggle with those and depression) but I believe Lacey lane is doing great things by spreading the news that you CAN have comfort!
I got my first essa over a year ago and she is a Sinclair Australian shepherd named Maizy and since then I have had the privilege of owning five more! My most recent is a chase border collie named Mackenzie, but I also own my golden retriever buddy, a corgi named Elizabeth, a black lab named coal, and a wolf named Kai!
Thank you Lacey Lane!
