It’s a gorgeous sunny morning at home this morning with a busy day ahead, so today I’m burning JUNO LUCINA in the studio.

Inspired by the goddess of light and protection, Juno Lucina is designed to promote feelings of renewal and radiance. Infused with the bright, citrus notes of Japanese yuzu, blood orange, and may chang, this uplifting blend gently energises, soothes the heart, and restores inner clarity.

Aroma ~ Citrus, Fresh

Yuzu (Citrus junos) ~ a bright, citrus aroma which can help to reduce fatigue and mental exhaustion, promoting alertness and positivity.

May Chang ( Litsea cubeba) ~ helps promotes a sense of lightness and clarity in both mind and body.

Blood Orange (Citrus sinensis) ~ a gentle, cheerful energy without being overpowering, making it ideal for emotional balance.

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata var. tangerine) ~ Its gentle, sweet aroma promotes relaxation, emotional balance, and a sense of safety.

Pink Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) ~ can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and mild depression, promoting optimism and cheerfulness.

Floral essential oils are renowned for their delicate, uplifting aromas and deeply soothing qualities, often evoking a sense of calm, beauty, and emotional balance.

Extracted from blossoms such as rose, jasmine, lavender and neroli, these oils carry a gentle yet powerful energy that nurtures both body and mind. Therapeutically, floral oils are celebrated for their ability to ease stress, tension, and anxiety, while promoting relaxation, self-confidence, and emotional harmony.

Their soft, sensual notes invite openness, comfort, and connection, embodying the essence of emotional and physical restoration.

Our Nova blend is an elegant floral blend of jasmine blossom, the softest rose geranium, mandarin and neroli. This beautiful blend was created to evoke a sense of joy foremost, akin to walking through a fresh Spring garden and to promote a sense of optimism.

Named after our founder’s daughter, Nova is the perfect Spring ritual to celebrate a time of renewal. Available in our aromatherapy candles, as an aroma mist and essential oil diffuser blend.

A Restorative Day Retreat
Sunday 31st August 2025 | 10am to 5pm

Held at the beautiful nature sanctuary of Woodcote, Mangaroa Farms in Whitemans Valley (just 40 minutes from Wellington CBD)

Join myself and Rosenda of Cultivate You for a deeply nurturing and restorative day, with the intention to connect with nature and community, while experiencing some beautiful self-care practices.time for reflection, renewal and connection to the natural world.

What to expect...
The day will begin in the cosy lounge of Woodcote at Mangaroa Farms, where we’ll come together as a group to settle in, and set our intentions for the day.

You’ll then take a sensory journey into the world of natural scent, discovering the beauty of essential oils and their therapeutic qualities. You’ll be guided by Melanie of Poet Botanicals to design your own signature scent, serving as a keepsake of what resonates with you on the day as we reflect on the theme of nurture, rest and restore. You’ll make a beautiful aromatherapy candle scented with your blend to take home.

We’ll then pause to enjoy a nourishing home-made lunch made from Mangaroa Farms produce and other local producers.

After lunch you have the option of going on a nature walk around the beautiful surrounds of Mangaroa Farms, guided by your hosts Rosenda and Melanie - or you can remain at Woodcote and take advantage of the sauna, rest or read - whatever you feel like at the time.

To close our day, we gather in ceremony, a sacred space to come home to self. Guided by Rosenda, you’ll be invited into a heart-opening cacao ritual. This time of year calls us inward to pause, reflect and gently shed what no longer serves us.

Then, surrounded by candlelight and the warmth of community, we’ll sit in circle, allowing cacao’s nourishing qualities to ground us in our bodies and awaken our hearts.

Together we co-create a moment of stillness and soul, a ritual of reconnection that invites you to leave feeling restored, nurtured and deeply nourished.

Investment per person $295
Numbers limited to 10

MAGNESIUM OIL | ON SALE
I started making magnesium oil to help my own children with growing pains (for my children this was specifically in the legs at night) and it became a lovely part of our bedtime routine.

Topical magnesium oil offers a gentle, natural way to support your children’s wellbeing, especially during periods of growth, restlessness, or heightened emotions. Easily absorbed through the skin, topical magnesium plays a vital role in calming the nervous system, promoting restful sleep, easing growing pains, and supporting muscle and nerve function. For children who struggle to unwind at night or experience leg cramps, applying magnesium oil can provide soothing relief and help establish a more peaceful bedtime routine.

Free from synthetic additives, our magnesium oil is a safe and effective option for parents seeking a holistic approach to supporting their child’s health.

Available in 100ml spray mist or 10ml roller which can be a gentler way to introduce the use of magnesium to your child. My children are now a bit older and each have their own bottle of magnesium to use when they feel they need it.
