About Me
Hello beautiful Souls! I am Akansha and I am here to help you empower yourself through self-Awareness and self-healing.
I am a cert. Aromatherapist, Cert. Self-Care Coach, Crystal Intuitive, Content writer, book nerd and herbalism enthusiast. I have spent last 4 years learning about Essential oils, using them in my everyday life and incorporating Essential oil blends in my lifestyle. And I am here to share my knowledge and expertise on what I have learnt and experienced first-hand the marvels of essential oils and their effects on our psyche.
My journey of self-discovery and my path to become an aromatherapist is very long and not at all linear. But suffice to say I never thought that I would be doing this.
I have a degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, a Master’s degree in Wireless Communication and Computing, Certifications in Python and Data Science and content writing for a brief period of time. I know! From engineering to Aromatherapy, it has been quite a ride.
How I Became an Aromatherapist
​
So, to tell you I was always a DIY person and I still am. I love to make things from scratch and mostly do it myself. From early age my mother taught me various skin care recipes that she would make in the kitchen which I came to rely on as my go to beauty recipes.
​
I started making my own skin care recipes and expanding my expertise on various natural plant derived ingredients. Not that I couldn’t afford or bought skincare products that were in the market, I did buy and experimented with many products which really didn’t suit my skin. The products that really worked for me were high end and very expensive which I couldn’t afford. But I learned to analyse the important ingredients these products contained and soon enough I made a list of all the things I could make and the products I could afford to buy.
​
For example, I noticed that a certain popular serum has Lavender essential oil as its hero ingredient and another high end product has Immortal, known as Helichrysum essential oil, as its main ingredient. So I researched a lot about these two essential oils and it was amazing what I found. Not only has Lavender essential oil been used for skincare since ancient times, but also for various other ailments such as insomnia, anxiety, sunburn and infections.
​
So, I incorporated the essential oils in making my own face packs, eye creams, massage creams, body oils and facial oils, and even my own homemade candles. And I was stunned with the result. It’s not that these concoctions worked overnight but what they did was far more than I could’ve hoped for.
Let me tell you one thing Essential oils are healing by nature. They heal us not just physically but emotionally too. I always had anger issues and resulting anxiety which I could never handle and get more restless and angry eventually leading to depression. Issues I dealt with were very real, these emotions that I couldn’t cope, anxiety I couldn’t heal and anger and irritability that I couldn’t dissipate.
​
But working with essential oils, incorporating them in my skincare and daily life, had an effect on me. Before I could see the effects on my skin I felt a certain effect inside of me. I was less irritable, less angry and more open to things, my anxiety decreased and I was feeling an immense sense of joy and love. And as a result my skin became calm, clear and glowing. I was blooming from inside. It was like the more I used essential oils, the more layers that trapped my soul were peeled away revealing my authentic self. I knew what led to this change, or rather revelation in me and I was going to continue this journey to find who I truly was.
​
So I studied essential oils and read every book I could find on Aromatherapy and related topics. I created my own blends to reduce my anxiety. I embraced other techniques like breathwork, meditation, journaling, yoga, and long walks to keep me grounded and mindful. I also incorporated unique self-care rituals integrating essential oils and crystal healing to raise my vibration and connect to my higher self.
​
I have entirely improved my well-being, healing myself through learning the importance of self-awareness and eventually found my true purpose all with the help of incredible Essential oils.
My Mission
I have first-hand experience of what Essential oils can do and this is what I want to share with you. I want to tell you that you are not alone. I know what it feels like to lose yourself in the moment of anger, jealousy, and irritability and have constant anxiety of what people are thinking and what is going to happen next, the guilt and the resulting depression. And I am here to tell you that all these feelings are normal and valid.
​
And that’s my mission. To tell you that you can feel whatever you want to feel. These feelings need to be acknowledged and processed in order to let them go. If you don’t they will fill your heart and mind with clutter and there will be no space for peace, joy and love.
​
Just like essential oils have helped me in recognizing my true self and getting over all those residual feelings that didn’t serve me, they can also help you. And my mission is to bring them to you so that you can experience the journey towards finding your authentic self.
​
Always here for you!
