Elevate your Mood
One of the most common health goals right now that I come into contact with is mental wellness. We as global citizens are all mentally struggling. Our current health crisis has been rough for every single person on the planet, in one form or another.
Lives, Livelihoods and Lifestyles have all been lost. We have had to grieve massive change and the witnessing of so much strife. This effects individuals differently. Some experience anxiety, or crippling panic. Others are more inclined to become depressed, fearful and self isolate.
We work with individuals and families to support positive outcome of such wild devastation.
We know that with death, comes new life. A new way of being in the world.
We come in as Wellness Advocates to guide our clients into a transformative ways of relating to self and others. We facilitate change, an evolution of your self care skills and coping tools.

Applying essential oils for emotional benefits
When you’re ready to use essential oils for emotional health, there are a few ways to effectively experience the potency and power they have to offer. When you find the oil you want to use, try any of these application methods:
Massage onto the base of the skull
Rub on the inside of the elbow
Use an essential oil diffuser
Apply a drop to the palms and inhale
Rub into the wrists and carry the aroma with you all day
We will help you find what combination works best for you.
Remember, essential oils work differently for everyone. Because each oil has such a complex chemical makeup, and because aromas interact with the part of our brain that stores our personal memories and experiences, no two people will experience one essential oil in the same exact way. It is important to remember that an oil that is comforting or uplifting for someone else might not have the same effect on you.
Discover your favorite oils. Try smelling a few oils with your eyes closed to see which ones you really like. By taking in the aroma of the oil, without seeing the name, it is easier to discover what really helps you.
Incorporate oils into your personal routine. To utilize the calming, uplifting, grounding, energizing, or comforting effects of essential oils for emotional health, try incorporating your favorite oils into your everyday activities. Essential oils can be used during yoga, as part of your skincare routine, diffused in the car, and nearly any other part of your day you can think of.
Be consistent. Rather than using essential oils sporadically when you want to alter your mood, try using small amounts on a more regular basis. Some people complain that they don’t experience the benefits of essential oils for emotional health, but a one-time application isn’t always a guarantee of a mood change.
Practice other healthy habits. Essential oils are just one resource for promoting good emotional health. By adopting other healthy habits in conjunction with daily essential oil use, you can help to promote better emotional health overall. Things like quality sleep, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and getting time outside in the sunshine are an important part of feeling emotionally healthy.
Seek extra help. When your quest for an emotionally-balanced life becomes overwhelming, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Reaching out to friends and family and seeking professional help can provide you with extra support on your journey to good long term emotional health.
