The Goddess Apothecary of the Palais Aromaetica— (literally, “House or Palace of All Things Aromatic”) is a temple of plant spirit alchemy for the soul, created to inspire the connection between spirit and body, mind and emotions, soul and oneness. The Aromaetica is a complete line of beautiful essential oils, intuitive and ceremonial blends, botanical tinctures, natural perfumes, alchemical elixirs and much more: seasonally inspired products created in alignment with the cycles of the moon, sold in limited quantities. Products are ritually prepared with the best in organic and wild-crafted products available. Some plants and flowers are grown on-site at LunaBella.
The creations of “Palais Arometica” are divine alchemy from the Goddess herself.
I have been blending scent and creating aromatic artistry for over 30 years. It is my passion, obsession and my profession. I have carved out a sacred niche which stands as unique; it defies previous rules of what has always been and should be, and instead has followed its own organic path. I believe you will be able to tell the difference between this level of quality, beauty and intention and that which you will find elsewhere.

Aromatic Mission Statement
Clients who work with me understand the value these blends bring to their lives; and they honor this sacred partnership with their personal commitment and intention to do the Work. Those not willing to make such deep and heartfelt commitment, or who do not value the time, reciprocal intent, or expense made on their behalf are invited to seek the appropriate person(s) with whom they need to work.
I work primarily with plants, botanicals and essential oils in their season. The yield of such are often limited by weather and other conditions. Quantities are therefore, by nature, often limited. Costs, consequently, are often higher. My clients understand this and opt for more highly energized, potentially costlier products rather than settle for the alternative.
