About Me
As a teen I was interested in creating natural skin care products. My first mask was a honey and oatmeal concoction. I became a pharmacy technician and worked in both hospital and retail environments for many years. My second daughter was born with severe eczema around all her joint areas. We knew there could be issues as eczema exists in both mine and my husband’s family. Our family doctor explained that he could not prescribe anything that could work for a newborn, but he was forward thinking. He suggested I try aromatherapy. He introduced me to someone who knew the ins and outs of essential oils. Thankfully I was able to use a low dose formulation of Lavender and Chamomile with a very basic bubble bath for her to have a soak in. We were able to alternate this with a massage blend of the same. In very little time we noticed that she was experiencing relief from the symptoms associated with eczema. It was not a cure, but it certainly helped her and me! This lead me on to do further research. I joined an aromatherapy company in the UK and learned so much through the courses I took. We moved back to Canada in 2006 and became very busy raising 4 children. Aromatherapy has always been a part of our lives; it has always been a passion of mine. In January 2021 the passion was reignited. I am currently working on my clinical aromatherapist and master formulator in organics and natural botanicals certifications and have sourced the best suppliers through my connections over the years to bring you some fabulous, pure essential oils and carriers. I offer mixing and blending workshops because I believe there can be a lot of misinformation out there and using these highly concentrated essential oils incorrectly can do serious harm. Used correctly they can provide you with some excellent benefits.
Happy travels on your aromatherapy journey!
