Be Your Own Healer
Practicing aromatherapy and creating self-care products has been an immensely rewarding, yet unexpected turn of events. After an accident, (which nearly broke me physically and mentally), l didn’t want to rely on pharmaceuticals and become a product of our pill-popping society, so l embarked on my own healing journey. Through my personal yoga and meditation practice along with Aromatherapy and Ayurveda, l was able to heal myself from physical and emotional pain. I replaced the laundry list of health problems, (chronic pain, inflammation, arthritis, stress, anxiety and depression), with rituals and remedies that focused on self-care. As l lived close to nature and in harmony with the rhythm of moon and seasons, l began to energetically open to a deeper level of healing: l began to understand the subtle energy and auspiciousness that came from living one’s life in balance.
An at home kitchen project making natural remedies soon turned into an obsession. I ended up going back to school to study Aromatherapy, Ayurveda, and Natural Perfumery while keeping my corporate job. For many years, nights and weekends were spent in my kitchen researching, formulating, and testing products.
ROOTED IN NATURE. My intention is to create 100% natural aromatherapy blends, perfume oils, and body care products. As an aromatherapist, my work combines the healing properties of botanicals in collaboration with traditional Ayurvedic techniques to balance the subtle energies of the mind and body. Formulated seasonally following the phases of the moon, every ingredient comes from Mother Earth and never contains any synthetics or preservatives.
MAMA MOON BOTANICALS came into being as a way to share my love of Aromatherapy and Ayurveda; as they both have had a profound impact on my own personal health journey. My hope is that these products inspire you to slow down, find the silence within, and create healing wherever you may be on your journey. And to know, you are not alone.
When we align our daily lives with the rhythm of the moon and the natural cycle of the land around us, harmony and balance is realized. We all have the power to heal ourselves.
Much love and gratitude,
