Mission

I am looking to align myself with people, businesses and organizations missioned to learn, educate & spread awareness of the benefits aromatherapy and natural plant medicines have to offer, using high quality, organic, natural ingredients at the forefront.

Background

I have always felt a strong connection to plants and nature. From the orange trees I loved to climb as a child in Miami, to the desert scrub of the Utah wilderness I explored as a teenager, I was never one for staying cooped up indoors. After studying horticulture at the University of Florida, I went on to pursue my graduate studies in ethnobotany at Lehman College, and managed the Rare Plant House at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

I then earned clinical degrees in anatomy and physiology and eventually moved to Europe to earn my certification as an Aromatherapist from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Aromatherapy in the UK, as well as an Advanced Clinical Certification from Essential Oil Resource Consultants in France.

I used this knowledge to raise my three children in a natural and healthy home, never treating them with antibiotics or over-the-counter medications, I created my own natural, first-aid-kit of custom-made therapeutic oil blends for pain, colds, allergies and other childhood ailments. I maintained a private practice as a Licensed Massage Therapist, where I made essential oil blends to bring health and balance to my clients. As I spent more time working with my clients, I realized it was time to help people on a larger scale. I became determined to show the world how to naturally achieve a healthier mind and body and began developing a line of products that captured the proven and incredibly effective properties of natural essential oils and made them relevant for today’s world. I founded 21 Drops Essential Oil Therapy® to do exactly that.

I share my devotion to healing by having sat on the board of the Alliance of International Aromatherapists for 6 years & offering education courses and Aromatherapy trainings throughout the U.S.

21 Drops

I founded & developed 21 drops® from the dream to make the use of therapeutic essential oils more accessible for the everyday person that wanted healthier choices for their everyday concerns and imbalances. It was after many 1000’s of hours of education, in the US and abroad, and attending conferences annually of the most up to date science in the field of Aromatherapy that I wanted to incorporate all I had learned into a superior product. The idea was to simplify using essential oils by safely diluting them and created pre-blended solutions, so that the consumer doesn’t have to learn all that is needed to use essential oils safely and effectively,

From the humble launching of the brand in 2010, and being sold in Sephora, Bloomingdales, Henri Bendels, QVC, Barney’s Coop, and numerous high end Spas like the Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, and Canyon Ranch, I have learned to mange all aspects of the beauty consumer business. In addition, 21 drops® created a custom product to be sold in every Costco Depots in the USA and Mexico, as well as on their website store, which was quite a great success! With the advent of this feat, I realize I have new skills and experiences to offer to other brand developers in the beauty space. I have left the 21 drops® company and I am now dedicated to sharing all I’ve learned through that tremendous journey.
