THE STORY BEHIND ESSENCE OF NATURE
Essence of Nature was created by a Certified Aromatherapist, Katie Blair, in 2003.
Katie's idea to create Essence of Nature was fueled by her passion for essential oils, the healing capabilities they hold, and their amazing abilities to contribute to one's well-being.
Aromatherapy products created with high-quality essential oils capture the actual essence of a plant, as well as its healing properties.
With a goal to help others pursue wellness and a better quality of life while embracing a more holistic and natural lifestyle, Katie decided to study aromatherapy and begin creating her own therapeutic-grade essential oil blends and products.

Katie was introduced to aromatherapy when she was in college in 2000, and as her fascination with the healing properties of these oils continued to grow, she decided to study them in greater depth to learn more about how blending the synergies of different oils can change its properties and their positive impact on the body.
