Aromatherapy: A Simple Path to Calm

Aromatherapy is always a favorite topic because it speaks directly to the senses. Using essential oils from plants, flowers, and herbs, aromatherapy supports relaxation, focus, and overall well-being. A single scent can calm the nervous system, lift your mood, or bring a sense of balance to your day.

Whether it’s lavender for relaxation, eucalyptus for clarity, or citrus for energy, aromatherapy is an easy way to enhance everyday moments. Sometimes, just taking a deep breath of a familiar, comforting scent is enough to help the body relax and the mind slow down.

Forest Bathing: A Simple Return to Nature

One of the practices I’m deeply drawn to is Forest Bathing, an ancient way of connecting with nature. In Japan, it’s known as Shinrin-yoku, which simply means immersing yourself in the natural world using your senses.

Forest bathing doesn’t require travel or special training. It can happen in your own backyard, a nearby park, or during a quiet retreat. Here, we’re fortunate to have many peaceful places to slow down—lying in a hammock, sitting on an old log swing, and listening. Birds calling, squirrels moving through the trees, deer crunching acorns beneath their feet.

These moments of stillness are deeply calming and surprisingly healing. Each time I spend time this way, I notice a shift—I feel more grounded, more creative, and more at ease. Sometimes, the most powerful form of self-care is simply being present in nature.

Aloe Hill: From Ashes to Healing

Something I’m especially excited about right now is my beautiful crop of organically grown Aloe Vera, grown right here on what I call Aloe Hill.

The story behind this garden makes it even more meaningful. About three or four years ago, a devastating fire swept through the hills of Vacaville, leaving behind blackened earth and a landscape that felt lifeless. This particular hillside was once covered in old oak leaf mulch, and after the fire, it held layers of ash—remnants of destruction, but also the potential for renewal.

To bring life back to the hill, we planted over 100 aloe plants, all separated from plants I already had. It was a labor of love and hope. Over time, something incredible happened. The soil, enriched by ash and organic matter, became the perfect environment for growth. Today, these are the happiest, healthiest aloe plants I’ve ever seen.

We’ll be using freshly picked aloe leaves from Aloe Hill for our skin care treatments. There’s something powerful about using ingredients that are grown with care and intention. And the best part? The ingredient list couldn’t be simpler: fresh aloe vera—nothing added.

From fire and ash came healing and nourishment. Aloe Hill is a reminder that even after devastation, something beautiful and restorative can grow.
