Her initiation into holistic disciplines started in 2003, gaining diplomas in complementary practices from Traditional Ushui Reiki, Metaphysical Studies, Tibetan Sound Therapy to Kinesiology, Aromatic Kinesiology, Hawaiian Bodywork, and Aromatic Studies.

Aromatherapy as a life-quality improvement method has been part of Ildiko’s personal life journey from her early 20’s, becoming a major transformative contributor in her own natural healing from endometriosis. She studied at several institutions in Hungary and throughout the world, complementing her life-long learning and research with continued training and conferences such as Botanica. Ildiko nurtures a special connection with her highly respected teachers Gergely Hollódi from Aroma Botanica, and Jade Shutes of Aromatic Studies and honored to have been in a mutually inspiring fellowship collaborative spirit throughout the years.

“I am ultimately connected to nature which is both a source of inspiration and a life-style worth living. While mostly spending my time on Crete, I bring along holistic life-changing experiences through highly-inspiring and transformative aromatic journeys. Essential Reflections is a personal blog and an umbrella label I use for writing, photography and botanical creations.

Plants, harvesting, distilling, herbal formulations & aromatherapy blending are all integral part of my daily life and teachings, just as therapy work, holistic coaching and consultations to empower others. My mission is to promote a deeper understanding of sustainable practices with transparency and authenticity in one’s personal life and work ethos.”

After moving to Oregon at the age of 18 and volunteering on a medicinal herb farm, he devoted himself to an herbal healing path. In 2007, he received a Traditional Western Herbalist Certificate from the Appalachian School of Holistic Herbalism, and in 2010 received an Advanced Chinese Herbalist Certificate from the Institute of Chinese Herbology. Nick continues to educate himself and others in the wonders of botanical medicine and Gaian consciousness.

Sometimes we find work and sometimes work finds us. Magdalena’s journey with holistic beauty developed organically and with ease. Her connection to nature, and love of health, harmony and simplicity began with the long summers spent at her grandpa’s farm in her native Poland. She’s always felt the most at home with a simple, clean and gentle way of life. These qualities and values deeply infuse Magdalena’s work and her approach to skin care, self care and beauty, be it in the treatment room, while she is formulating or in her consultations. She created Woman Divine Skin Care out of the desire to offer a very different type of skin care from that which was available at a time. She followed her heart and developed treatments, formulated products and introduced The Practice of Mindful Beauty to her community. Magdalena has been in practice for over 25 years now. She is committed to deliver the best quality treatments and plant-based products to women not as a luxury or a once in a while treat but as an everyday sustainable way of life.
