Essential oils have been used for cooking, bathing, skin care and religious ceremonies since ancient times. The term “aromatherapy” was coined in the 20th century when scientists began to support the idea of using essentials for mood and health, and in the 1990’s, research helped biologists understand how our brain reacts to scent.

 Scent is processed through the olfactory bulb and limbic portion of the brain; when we inhale pure plant oil, free from synthetics and fillers, powerful chemical reactions take place stimulating memories, emotions, and hormones. No two people will have the exact same reaction to each scent as our genetics, memories, and life experiences influence our interpretation of the essence. 

The beauty of aromatherapy is that it allows us to create our own unique emotional responses.  Essential Oils are more than a lovely scent, they can have a direct impact on our emotions and our overall well-being!

My name is Ginny and I am so pleased you found your way here! I am a third generation Floridian who married a hockey loving Canadian guy! We live in Stittsville, Ontario with our two incredible children.

I am a teacher, aromatherapist, and mental health advocate with a passion for creativity and connection. As a woman living in recovery, I believe in holistic remedies to stay calm and centered; find essential oils have a direct impact on my emotions and well being! Many of the properties in essential oils support anxiety, boost mood, and promote wellness within me.

  Cup of Intention products and workshops were created as a way to share the therapeutic benefits of working with oils as well as connecting with the community. My hope is that each workshop inspires you to come into the moment and Create with Intention in your own life!

My Grandfather served in WW2 and spent 4 years overseas. He frequently wrote to my Grandmother and sent her letters & teacups from the interesting places he was  stationed. I grew up admiring her collection, as each teacup told a story.  As my own collection grew, I began looking for sustainable and creative ways to utilize the teacups.  Because of my love for aromatherapy, I decided to make teacup candles!

  I created the Intention Tags as simple reminders to, slow down, come into the moment, and reflect.

My "intention" for each workshop is that you will walk away feeling uplifted, calm and inspired to create with intention in your own life!   We encourage participants to focus on mindful creativity, connection and above all Self Worth!
