It's a rebrand! Had to change my business name because there are too many businesses that use the term Space Coast. Video soon to follow with my goals and what I hope to do and yes, really DO THEM! LOL :)

It is in my opinion that you as a visitor to this page have a right to know what the qualifications of the person who runs it are. I do not know or claim to know everything. Learning is life long and there are many others who have been at it longer than I have. If I do not have the answer, I will search to find out who does.



Personal Bio:



I have been married to my best friend for almost 16 years and have two wonderful kids – a son who is 26 and a daughter who is 24, both of who I am very proud of. I am also a proud NEW grandma to an adorable little boy who is the light of my world! I have lived in the WNY area for about 29 years. Together we made the difficult choice to relocate to Deltona, FL initially to help out my parents in 2015. In 2019, we relocated to Titusville, FL (Space Coast Area) to be closer to my husband’s job at Pharmco Laboratories. In addition to working on my Aromatherapy projects, I love to read, go to the beach, walk our dogs, and watch the total craziness of our cat.

A big, long over due THANK YOU to my daughter who made the oil rack on the left for me from a pallet ! The one on the right was my grandma's old thimble rack that was left to rot. I resurrected it into my second oils rack! Love it!

Working with someone who is properly trained is key!

There are hundreds of essential oils available in stores and online, and even more health-related uses for them. But essential oils aren’t always interchangeable, and some can create health concerns of their own. Find out how to use essential oils for aromatherapy and which oils are best for uniqu...

I love taking a walk on the property to see what is in bloom and to discover what treasures the land holds.

Totally in awe. I have been honored to receive a package in the mail from a fellow, respected aromatherapist who is retiring from teaching and wanted to bless a new teacher with items to begin the journey. Cynthia, I promise to use these items in my classes and I will thank you each time I do it.

Solar melted, double filtered beeswax - 8.5 lbs! Plans are to make candles primarily to sell locally. Great project for cooler days ahead Thank you !

We are working on making some improvements to our property so we can maximize our use. This doesn't affect the Aromatherapy side of things, but our bees and other things. It means having a Biologist come out and make an assessment. Need to respect the resident wetlands and protected wild life if present. Hoping all goes well so we may proceed. Very excited!

I often wondered about how accurate this idea was. Thanks for the clarification, Robert Tisserand.

The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy is a 501(c)3 member based non-profit association devoted to the holistic integration and education of aromatherapy into a wide range of complementary healthcare practices including self care and home pharmacy.
