Who wants to run a charming Aromatherapy boutique by the sea?

That sounds amazing to me!

It sounded good to Melissa Curran, too.

Melissa loved making her own products—body butters, body washes, soaps, room sprays, and more. She also wanted to reduce the amount of toxins she exposed herself to.

Starting a seaside Aromatherapy boutique allowed her to do all of this while earning a profit! She called her business "Scented Balance."

Melissa practices deep listening in her business, focusing not only on the scientific and physical properties of the essential oils (she is a Certified Aromatherapist and understands the research and science of essential oils) but also looking at what her clients need for their emotional and spiritual health. She brings her full self to Scented Balance.

It has led her to create some amazingly effective blends—some of which keep her business very busy indeed!

For example, talking with a few of her family members who have skin conditions (and doing a case study on chronic pain) led Melissa to formulate a blend called "PsoMaxx." It's for painful, chronic skin conditions. It worked so well that her customers came back for more and told their friends about it, too!

PsoMaxx is now one of Melissa's most popular, best-selling products.

A few other scientifically formulated pain blends and personal inhalers also bring in a lot of repeat clients for Melissa.

She says, "I have a number of clients who said their concerns really improved and were less severe from using these products and they love them because there are no chemicals to make their condition worse."

If you've ever experienced chronic pain or an ongoing skin condition, you'll know that it's no exaggeration to say that an effective, safe, natural blend can change your life!

For some of us, Aromatherapy is more than a hobby. It gives us a way to deeply listen and connect with people who need our help and to create all-natural solutions for them. They come away feeling seen, heard, and with a product that works.

If you feel called to use essential oils to help others . . . or maybe to open your own seaside Aromatherapy boutique! . . . I encourage you to give yourself a solid education like Melissa.

It's the foundation that will allow you to offer effective, safe advice to people and to make blends that change their lives.
