"To reach the individual we need an individual remedy. Each of us is a unique message. It is only the unique remedy that will suffice."
~ Marguerite Maury (1895-1968)
A pioneer of modern aromatherapy who believed that each person should receive care suited to their individual needs.
Scent has a remarkable way of connecting us to memory, emotion, and the present moment.
Here in Painted Rabbit Studio, I explore aromatherapy through the lens of an artist; where botanical curiosity, scientific understanding, and mindful presence meet.
I invite you to wonder and discover what resonates with you.
Aromatherapy invites us to slow down and pay attention.
Each botanical has its own chemistry.
Each person has their own story.
As a certified aromatherapist, I thoughtfully incorporate essential oils into my creative practice. Whether I am painting, journaling, practicing yoga, or simply pausing to reflect, scent has become a gentle companion that helps me cultivate presence and deepen my connection to the natural world.
Here in Painted Rabbit Studio, I share that journey through observation, curiosity, and evidence-informed learning; honoring both the beauty of aromatic plants and their responsible use.
I invite you to explore the support of scent through your own observations, moments of wonder, and gentle practices.
Observe • Wonder • Tend
Every aromatic plant has its own chemistry, scent and character. By slowing down and observing with intention, we begin to appreciate the remarkable complexity and beauty of the botanical world.
As part of my own creative practice, I thoughtfully choose essential oils by first becoming acquainted with a particular oil. I notice its aroma, its sentiment, and the feelings or memories it may evoke.
When I begin to create my own art, I begin with observation and then deepen that experience through research. Before all the particulars, I pay attention to how a subject begins to tell its story.
Likewise, each essential oil offers a unique story and each person may experience it differently. This is part of the beauty of aromatherapy, and part of the beauty of art.
