The Blossom Bar

At the Blossom Bar we believe scent creates a sanctuary from the noise and distraction of our digital age.

The Blossom Bar is an aromatherapy practice owned by Dori Bell, focused on helping you integrate the gentle power of essential oils, flower essences, and aromatic hydrosols to calm the stress response and live on purpose, in the divine flow of God's love. Our mission at the Blossom Bar is to provide women support in their pursuit of a love-connected life through the alchemy of essential oils and aromatherapy products. Scent has the power to transmute and transcend, and with therapeutic botanicals, to heal. Our aromatherapy blends are made with care in small batches, crafted with love and a deep hope that the recipient will be lifted in mind and spirit, and reconnected to their hearts and creativity. All blends are created with therapeutic grade essential oils. In this day of mass-market, synthetic, sometimes toxic beauty products, our aromatherapeutic blends stand out as all natural, locally made, and custom blended creations that wrap the wearer in delicious scent while also assisting with well-being. We augment the power of each blend by adding flower essences that complement and amplify its purpose.

Pause and savor... Step outside. What do you smell? Here in Manhattan KS we are finally getting some autumn weather. I can smell the leaves beginning to turn and the earth giving off a faint rooted scent. What do you smell? Take it in as you inhale and exhale fully.

In this week’s scavenger hunt you are invited to employ each of your five senses with a bonus “sixth sense” journal prompt as tools to be present and experience a moment of centeredness. This micro moments of calm can help reset your entire day.

If you want access to all 6 prompts each Monday morning (includes a journal prompt for those so inclined 🙋‍♀️) just sign up for the Pause and Savor email series at https://www.theblossombar.com/mailing-list-sign-up!

🌸 Hi! 🌸

It’s been a while since I told the newcomers a bit about who they’re hanging with here on the ‘gram.

😊 The basics:
I’m Dori Bell, aromatherapist, scent practitioner, and fragrance designer currently living in a little town in the middle of Kansas. I moved here in 2021 after spending the majority of my life on the East Coast, in both New Jersey and Virginia. It’s been a culture shock but I’ve met the best people here and am settling in happily.

😍 The mission:
To help people cultivate calm, creativity, and resilience through the power of aromatherapy and multi-sensory rituals. I do that by pairing essential oils with flower essences and other botanicals to create products, experiences, and practices that support mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

🥰 The services:
Through personalized essential oil and flower essence blends, curated kits, and guided rituals, I help women navigate stress, sleep challenges, life transitions, and creative blocks with beauty and ease. My services include custom aromatherapy consultations, themed kits (like pregnancy/postpartum, creativity, and stress management), and workshops that weave science, story, and sensory experience together—giving you practical, soul-nourishing tools to calm your nervous system and savor life more deeply.

🤩 Which essential oil I’m smelling today:
Frankincense, dropped onto a pretty vintage hankie and placed next to my laptop as I work. I needed something to ground me and encourage deep breaths and presence in the moment.

❤️ I’d love to know more about YOU! Comment or DM me a tidbit about yourself, like your favorite smell, what you’re reading, exciting plans you have coming up....

Vitality 🧡 Flow 🧡 Our Creative Wellspring ...

The area of our bodies that sits below our belly buttons and between our hips is our center of creative power. This center represents how we relate to pleasure and purpose. It’s about how freely we allow God’s creativity to move through us. When this area is supported, we feel empowered, energized, and able to bring forth what we’re called to create in the world.

Both Hindu and Buddhist traditions call this center of creative power the Sacral Chakra.

If you’re curious to know more about how to support this area through movement, contemplation, and (of course!) aromatherapy, I have just the thing for you!

Where do you go for deep rest? 🌊 Beach for me! It took me 5 days out of a 7-day vacation to begin to feel deeply rested. Once I got there I felt like nothing could touch the peace I felt. Life tried to stress me out, but I wasn’t having it.

On the other side of deep rest is resilience to stress. Scent, particularly certain essential oils, is a beautiful, effective tool for helping us shed the symptoms of stress and also build resilience to it. I’m offering up 3 quick ways to incorporate scent into your day to reduce your stress burden and bring in more joy ☀️

Read more in my latest blog post (link in bio): Three Natural Remedies for Stress: The Power of Scent for Stress Reduction and Deeper Rest

As a certified aromatherapist, I create natural, divinely fragrant remedies to reclaim peace, clarity, and connection—starting with just a breath. Whether it’s a few drops on a handkerchief, a calming diffuser blend, or a scent you wear throughout the day, these small rituals can shift you out of stress and into a grounded, peaceful state of being. Ready to stop just coping and start thriving? I’ve got resources, kits, and sessions to support your journey back to calm. 🌸✨DM me to get your specific questions answered
