I grew up in Austria, in an area where spas and treatments with flowers, herbs, and nature derived botanicals were a way of living. Drawing from this experience I started my career with researching, developing and sharing recipes and treatments for skin health and physical conditions with all natural ingredients. I was introduced to aromatherapy and using essential oils for healing when I was a child. For wounds and scratches, my mother cleansed the wound and applied lavender oil. If I had an upset stomach, I was given chamomile tea or a drop of german chamomile essential oil on a sugar cube. Years later, when I met my first aromatherapy teachers, I rediscovered the pleasure and the healing power of essential oils - this time I cured myself of chronic migraines using simple peppermint essential oil treatments, lavender baths, and consciously getting in touch with the emotional components of my headaches. The experience of curing my migraines and reconnecting to my childhood encounters with essential oils motivated me to study essential oils and alternative healing modalities in depth both in Europe and the United States, to create my own practice - to share the healing power of nature.

I have been studying essential oil therapy, massage therapy, sports massage, thai massage, deep tissue, polarity therapy, energy, cranio-sacral, hot stone massage, spa facial massage, gemstone and crystal therapy since the early 90's both here in the United States and in Europe. In 1994 I opened my company, Scentsible Life, to offer guidance and tools in form of products, services and education to help people live healthy, fulfilled lives. Bodywork and alternative treatments are non-invasive, effective and relaxing ways to help the body activate self-healing mechanisms. I started my teaching career in 2000, with the essential oil therapy program at Hands on Healing Institute in Tujunga, California, and from 2004 on added teaching the Massage Therapy program, energy therapy, spa facial massage, hot stone massage, gemstones and crystal therapy.
