My holistic journey started almost a decade ago when I decided it was time to confront some health challenges. I was introduced to essential oils through an MLM company and discovered their positive impact on stress and anxiety which were key contributors to my less-than-optimal health. This discovery marked the beginning of a profound transformation.
As I started to relax, I found myself making other positive decisions, including making healthier food choices. All these changes allowed me to reduce my reliance on medications, further contributing to my improved health and wellbeing.
I was eager to learn more, so I enrolled in an aromatherapy school and in 2016 I received my 1st certification in aromatherapy. I continue to study and have over 600 hours of training in the safe usage, chemistry, and formulation using essential oils. It was during my studies, while conducting several case studies, that I was able to formulate my current therapeutic body care products.
Yet, my path wasn't without challenges. An early lack of adherence to safe practices rendered my skin hypersensitive to certain essential oils, prompting an exploration into skincare formulations, particularly for the face. This personal struggle resulted in the creation of skincare products characterized by their gentleness, featuring low essential oil dilution, and an emphasis on botanical ingredients for hydration and nourishment.
The evolution of my studies now extends into the realm of cosmetic formulation, broadening the spectrum of offerings. I extend an invitation for you to explore and embrace my meticulously handcrafted products, crafted with care and dedication. May they become a beneficial and cherished part of your skincare regimen, each product embodying a chapter in my ongoing journey toward holistic well-being.
