I was first introduced to essential oils back in 2001 when they were still considered to be very much woo woo. Then, in 2004, I became even more aware of their healing properties when, in the aftermath of being caught in the Boxing Day Tsunami, a Thai woman used a heated sachet that was magically infused with lemongrass as she graciously treated my wounds on the floor of her home.

Fast forward to 2015, essential oils once again found their way into my life, during my treatment for cancer, I was gifted a bottle of lavender oil at my first infusion for chemotherapy. I found the scent to be soothing, it induced a sense of serenity. I found comfort in having the bottle on hand - it allowed me to access that 'zen' feeling at any moment.

Throughout treatment, I realized that I'd like others to have this on-hand tool that made it possible to reach a state of calm or to lock in a shift in mindset at any moment. My vision to empower people to regulate their nervous system using their breath, and mindfulness with the ease of oils has come to life via InnrState.

Very warmly,
