There have been many things and people that have inspired me along the way but I’d like you to meet my two main inspirations, Kaelin and Emily. When I first looked into their eyes, my life changed. I knew I would no longer live for myself…..I wanted to be with them, be a mom. My career which was paramount at the time, paled in comparison.

We’ve touched on what aromatherapy can do for your body. So let’s look at what amazing aromatherapy can do for your home.
Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential oils to enhance our physical and mental well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated distilled essences of plants that smell truly delightful. They are diluted either by water or with a ‘carrier oil,’ depending on the intended use of the essential oil.
Organic lavender essential oil – our personal fave – has the ability to evoke and increase the release of serotonin, thus producing a calming effect.1
