EVOLVE AROMATHERAPY™

Aromatherapy is an alternative wellness modality that uses distilled plant material in two forms, called essential oils and hydrosols, to enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of an individual.

Essential Oils Explained

Some plants, not all, when distilled via various extraction methods from specific plant parts of specific plants, yield what are called essential oils. Technically, these oils are very concentrated, liquid, hydrophobic, volatile chemical constituents that have been well-researched, therapeutic properties. They are used by certified Aromatherapists in alternative wellness practices and in some holistic wellness medical practices as well. Essential oils may be extracted from resin, bark, wood, leaves, branches, flowers, roots, rhizomes, and seeds. One drop of Rose Oil, one of the most precious and costly of essential oils, is made from 40-60 flower blossoms. 250 pounds of rose petals can only produce one small ounce of this gorgeous, essential oil. As I mentioned above, essential oils are very, very concentrated chemical constituents.

How they help

The power of essential oils’ chemistry and chemical components need to be studied and researched and be carefully considered, along with the amount used in every preparation. Some chemical components may not be indicated for use, depending on the medications a client may already be taking. Age, health, pregnancy, allergies, cancer patients, children all have specific needs that must be factored into every formulation for safe use of essential oils. Some people may not be able to tolerate essential oils at all and need a hydrosol or just carrier oils. Where the oil is to be applied on the body requires different dosages due to the thickness or thinness of the skin. And, most importantly, the chemistry of each oil is very different and requires deep study to learn how to use them safely and appropriately. If used indiscriminately, a person can have a negative reaction to the oils and may develop a sensitivity to that oil that they did not have prior to use. A person could have an allergic reaction if they are prone to allergies and unaware of the family of plants an essential oil is from. And certain essential oils cannot be used in the sunshine because they are phototoxic and cause painful, scarring sunburns to the skin. As a certified Aromatherapist, I am trained in the safe and healthy usage of essential oils, and when you have one of my beautiful, custom formulations created especially for you, you will know that you will have received has all the benefits you need and none of the concerns listed above.

Aromatherapy & Energy Healing

These two alternative wellness modalities are truly beautiful compliments to one another. The scents, chemistry and energetic vibrations of the plants coupled with the energy of Spiritual Healing is a perfect blend. Any essential oil formulation that I create is informed by the individual needs of my clients. For my Energy Healing clients, I use the information I gained during their healing sessions to create their custom, spiritual blends. These blends give them emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual support between their sessions. This is the very reason why I studied and became an Aromatherapist. I wanted to be able to provide my clients with a product that would best assist them on their healing journeys. Aromatherapy helps bridge and support my clients between healing sessions with its amazing, wellness properties. Together, these modalities are lovely, holistic therapies for the whole person.

Some countries do not have an organic certification process at this time, so I rely on my distributors to find farmers that grow their plant material as organically as possible. I am always looking for new distributors and sources for organic and sustainable ingredients.
