A trip down memory lane…

This Facebook memory in 2016 - it stopped me in my tracks today.

Over 10 years of educating, teaching, and sharing the beauty of essential oils not as trends, but as tools for prevention, proactive care, and everyday support.

Looking back, I can see the seeds that were being planted.

Not just in our home, but in the hearts of those I shared with.

I didn’t realise it then, but I was already building a legacy…

A legacy where my kids learned how to take the first steps of care with confidence.

A legacy of partnering with the wisdom God has woven into His creation simple, powerful, natural tools that support the body the way He designed it.

These oils truly have always felt like gifts God has given us.

And now, a decade later, it’s beautiful to see how that season has grown into something new.
I now have a space where I can run workshops, gather community, and continue sharing in a deeper, more embodied way something I once only dreamed of.

Still learning, still sharing, still honouring the body He created.

There is a place between one breath and the next.
A pause.
A soft haze.
Floating on clouds.
A gentle hug that reminds you it’s safe to simply be.

Stillness is created for those moments of solace and spaciousness when you long to slow down and rest in the quiet of your inner terrain.

More than fragrance… this is presence, captured.

Helichrysum for Shingles: Nature’s Golden Healer
If your nervous system is crying out from the fiery sting of shingles, there’s one essential oil I always come back to: Helichrysum often called “liquid gold” or “everlasting” for good reason.

Helichrysum isn’t just a pretty flower. It’s a powerhouse of gentle healing, especially for nerve pain, inflammation, and skin repair — the exact kind of support shingles sufferers desperately need.

What Makes Helichrysum So Special?

✨ Nerve Soother & Repairer
Shingles attacks the nerves. Helichrysum has rare compounds that soothe irritated nerve endings and support the body in regenerating damaged tissue. It may even help reduce post-herpetic neuralgia (the lingering pain that stays after the rash fades).

✨ Anti-Inflammatory + Pain Relieving
Its strong anti-inflammatory properties help calm the burning sensation, swelling, and redness around blisters.

✨ Antiviral & Skin Supportive
Helichrysum’s gentle antiviral qualities make it ideal for topical support — helping reduce viral activity on the skin’s surface while also accelerating skin cell regeneration.

✨ Cicatrizant (Scar Healer)
This oil encourages natural skin renewal — reducing the risk of scarring and discolouration once the shingles rash begins to heal.

The Art of Imagery in Scent Design

This morning at Barossa Campus, the Adelaide Business Hub hosted a free session for local businesses to enhance their photo and video skills using smartphones. It’s incredible to see a community supporting small businesses in such a practical way!

But for me, photography goes beyond social media, video content, or websites—it’s the foundation of scent design. Every fragrance begins with an image, a memory, a feeling. It’s about storytelling and recapturing moments through scent, just as a photograph captures a moment in time.

Here are some little snapshots from today that inspired me.

There’s a place in the heart of the Barossa that does for food what a perfumer does for scent, creating an adventure. At Staguni, each dish holds pockets of memories , flavors and sensations that excite, comfort, and ignite desire all at once. It’s like stepping into a world of sensory nostalgia, where imagery, sounds, and tastes align, and the nervous system exhales in contentment.

Clare’s careful poise with produce and flavors mirrors the art of crafting a fragrance. Her dishes are layered, complex, and intentional, much like what we strive for at Ambedo Functional Fragrance—a melancholic trance that immerses you in vivid sensory details, offering a moment to pause and savor.

One dish that captures this beautifully is
Pickled Baby Octopus.From the first bite, it’s a symphony of textures and aromas, familiar, yet utterly unexpected. A dish that feels like coming home and discovering something new all at once.

To us, Staguni represents the same ethos we embrace at Ambedo: a celebration of the senses, a story told through the smallest details, and an invitation to live deeply in the moment.
