My Journey to Sourcing the Highest Vibrational Aromatics

I began my study of medicinal plants and esoteric philosophy at the age of 18 after having a mystical awakening with a local shaman in the foothills of Northern California. As someone who always felt the most at home in nature, I began to hear the flowers and trees communicating with me in new ways. The study of vibrations and healing properties of scents, sounds and colors continued to draw me deeper into this mystical realm.

After healing my own chronic and acute bronchial challenges with herbs (this formula can be found in my DNA book), I began making teas and tinctures for anyone who was under the weather and willing to attempt one of my ‘concoctions.’ Not long after, I found essential oils and knew with certainty that they would be an integral part of my future.

Developing my organoleptic sense of smell, touch, sight and after taste led me to build a process of discernment and intuitive, intimate relationships with the plants. This is an invaluable part of the educational journey.

I then sought out leaders and education in the field. Craving more formal education, I traveled to India and Egypt to experience the plants in their alchemical continuum of growth, harvest & distillation as well as the rich esoteric history of plant…
