The Beginnings of an Essential Oil Enthusiast (Okay... Maybe Bordering on Obsessive)

By Lorraine • Nymea Aromatics

Discover the story behind Nymea Aromatics—my three-decade journey with essential oils, how they support the body, mind and spirit, and why intentional, safe practice matters.

My Journey with Essential Oils

Essential oils have been part of my everyday life for over three decades—long before they became trendy or hashtag-worthy.

My journey began back in 1994 while studying massage. It was there that I first encountered these powerful little bottles of botanical medicine. At the time, I was drawn to their physical benefits—how they could ease muscular tension, support circulation, or uplift a tired body. But it didn’t take long for me to feel that they were doing something more… something I couldn’t quite explain just yet.

Finding the Language of Aromatic Healing

A few years later, I trained in Aromatic Kinesiology and finally found the language for what I had been sensing. I began to understand that essential oils hold emotional and energetic properties just as potent as their physical ones.

•  - Move stuck emotions
•  - Bring clarity and focus
•  - Help us ground and reconnect
•  - Support release and transformation

These subtle yet profound effects made me even more passionate about working with oils intentionally.

Deepening My Knowledge

Fast forward to the 2010s, and suddenly everyone was talking about essential oils. The market became saturated with countless brands and conflicting information.

Amidst this essential oil explosion, I knew I had to get clear—what’s safe? What’s marketing hype? And what genuinely supports the body and mind?

So, in 2018, I completed an Advanced Diploma in Aromatic Medicine. Not because I wanted another piece of paper on the wall, but because I wanted to stand behind my products with confidence. More importantly, I wanted to know—really know—how to use these oils in a way that honours both their power and your wellbeing.

The Birth of Nymea Aromatics

The Nymea range was born in 2011 from my desire to create supportive, intentional products that work not just on the physical level, but on the emotional and energetic as well.

Each formula is handcrafted with a synergy of:

• Pure essential oils
• Floral waters
• Vibrational essences (including custom-made essences, Liquid Crystals, and Australian Bush Flowers)

All ingredients are chosen for their unique healing attributes and energetic integrity.

Over time, Nymea has gently expanded and now includes:

• Essential oil blends (many infused with carefully selected crystals)
• Pulse point roll-ons
• Space and aura sprays
• Salt scrubs
• Baby care range (coming soon)
• Liquid incense (coming soon)

Every product is made with respect for the plants, the essences, and the person receiving it.

Why It Matters

Essential oils are more than just beautiful scents or trending self-care tools. They are concentrated plant intelligence—capable of supporting us on levels we often overlook.

When used safely and intentionally, they can become powerful allies for:

• Emotional balance
• Mental clarity
• Physical wellbeing
• Spiritual connection

So no, I don’t follow fads. I follow feeling, knowledge, intuition—and a lot of research.

And yes… maybe I am a little obsessed. But if obsession leads to helping people feel better in their own skin and spirit, then I’m happy to wear that title proudly.

Lorraine @ Nymea Academy

I've spent many years working with crystals; a passion that was ignited when I was gifted a beautiful Herkimer Diamond pendant 20 years ago. This started a journey into learning more about the healing possibilities our Earth has to offer us and have spent many years training in different modalities such as Reiki, Massage, Aromatherapy, Crystal vibrational therapy, TFH kinesiology, Aromatic Kinesiology, Australian Bush Flower, Liquid Crystal and Starchild essences. I have completed a Diploma in Crystal Shamanism and an Advanced Diploma in Aromatic Medicine.
I also love creating my Nymea range of wellness products and, when I get a chance, making shaman and crystal tools.
Meeting my mentor Rachelle Charman has led to many beautiful experiences and a grounded spiritual outlook and I now feel ready to share my knowledge with others and guide people on a journey to reconnect with their soul and to embrace their life purpose here on earth.
I have a deep desire for humanity to understand how they can empower themselves and discover that they are not helpless, that earth has provided all we need to be happy and whole, and it’s just that sometimes ‘life’ gets in the way of truly experiencing our divine right to shine.

 

I'm pleased to be able to bring you the full range of the Crystal Awakening and Crystal Shamanism workshops giving you an option of completing a Diploma level qualification.
Workshops include 
Crystal Awakening Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced
Crystal Shamanism Level 1 and Level 2, Sacred Drum making and Oracle card 
All workshops are accredited with the IICT (Foundation workshop becomes accredited after completing the Intermediate level) and are part of Rachelle Charman's Academy of Crystal Awakening workshops.
