Frequently asked questions
As a certified aromatherapist, I work with highly concentrated plant extracts (essential oils) for emotional, physical, and energetic support. As an herbalist, I work with the whole plant in forms such as teas, tinctures, infusions, and salves. Aromatherapy tends to act more quickly on mood and the nervous system through inhalation and topical application, while herbal medicine provides ongoing nourishment and systemic support. In my practice, I often combine both for the most balanced, effective results.
Yes! I offer in-person aromatherapy and herbalism consultations at Alkemy Coffee Co. in Flemington, NJ, and virtual consultations via Zoom for clients anywhere in the world. In-person sessions include scent testing of essential oils to create your custom blend on the spot, while virtual sessions include a follow-up shipment of your handcrafted remedies within 3 business days.
Aromatherapy can quickly influence mood and the nervous system through inhalation or topical application. Essential oils like lavender, bergamot, and frankincense have been shown to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality. In my consultations, I select oils based on your preferences and needs so your blend feels supportive, safe, and enjoyable — whether you see me in-person at Alkemy Coffee Co. or virtually.
Each consultation is personalized and starts with a conversation about your wellness goals, lifestyle, emotional state, and any specific concerns. I’ll then design a personalized wellness protocol that may include aromatherapy blends, herbal remedies, and simple rituals to integrate into your day. In-person clients can smell and test oils during the session; virtual clients receive their products by mail.
Yes — as both a certified aromatherapist and an herbalist, I can create custom remedies to support concerns such as stress, anxiety, burnout, insomnia, digestive upset, immune support, and more. I always tailor blends to your preferences and needs, ensuring they’re safe, effective, and enjoyable.
Absolutely! I offer private aromatherapy & herbalism workshops for groups either at Alkemy Coffee Co. or at your location. Perfect for bridal showers, birthday parties, workplace wellness events, and retreats, each workshop is hands-on and every participant leaves with their own handcrafted remedy. Pricing is based on the number of participants and the type of remedies made.
Yes, when used correctly. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so safe use depends on dilution, method of application, and individual health needs. As a certified aromatherapist, I ensure your blends are formulated at safe concentrations for daily use, tailored to your age, health status, and goals.
