✨ A NEW SPACE TO EXPLORE YOUR SENSES ✨

I'm delighted to share that ISHALŌKA has found a new home for in-person experiences at Minshara Life! 💜

Beginning in November, you can find me at Minshara every Wednesday, offering something created exclusively for this beautiful space: Sensory Sanctuary.

🌿 What is Sensory Sanctuary?

Imagine an hour dedicated entirely to YOU. A space where curiosity is encouraged, your senses become tools for exploration, and your individual needs guide the experience.

Sensory Sanctuary is a personalized, 60-minute multisensory wellness session that we co-create together.

Drawing from my background in cognitive neuroscience, yoga therapy, and clinical aromatherapy, we'll explore how intentional sensory experiences can influence the way we feel, respond, and connect with ourselves.

Your session may incorporate:

🌸 Aromatherapy and intentional olfactory experiences

🎶 Sound and music

🌈 Color and lighting

🧘 Mindful movement and yoga-inspired practices

✨ Guided awareness, meditation, and breathwork

No two sessions need to look alike, because no two people are alike.

Whether you're seeking a moment of calm, a shift in energy, greater connection with your body, or simply a little space to explore what helps you feel your best, Sensory Sanctuary is an invitation to discover what supports your wellbeing through your senses.

I bring the knowledge, tools, and guidance. You bring your curiosity, intentions, and unique lived experience. Together, we create something meaningful.

💜 Join me every Wednesday at Minshara Life!

🌺Today's aromatherapy challenge: Formulating with a nose that barely works.

Well, today certainly did not go as intended.

I woke up with severe congestion after managing approximately 90 minutes of sleep last night. Needless to say, I'm functioning at about half capacity today (and that's being generous).

So instead of my usual routine, here we are on the couch, tackling some light research, and a little aromatherapy.

But here's interesting part...

🌱Before settling in, I formulated an aromatic synergy to help me find some relief from this congestion. The catch? My ability to detect aromatics is currently operating at maybe 25% of its usual capacity.

Essentially, I had to formulate almost entirely without relying on my nose.

Instead, I leaned on my knowledge of botany, essential oil chemistry, aromatic constituents, molecular structure, and volatility to select oils that would complement one another and create a thoughtfully balanced synergy.

And honestly, I love that this experience reminded me of something I believe is fundamental to the practice of aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy is SO much more than combining oils because they smell good together.

Understanding the plants we work with, their chemistry, their therapeutic potential, their safety considerations, and the science behind their aromatic characteristics allows us to formulate with intention rather than relying solely on personal preference.

Our sense of smell is an incredibly valuable tool, but it shouldn't be the only tool in our toolbox.

🧠Today, my nose wasn't particularly useful, but my education certainly was. And that, to me, is the beauty of understanding the science behind the art of aromatherapy.

🌋Want to know what I came up with? Put your guesses in the comments or share your favorite oils for upper respiratory challenges

🧪This synergy ended up containing 5 essential oils: 1 base note, 2 middle notes, 1 middle/top note and 1 top note with therapeutic actions for upper respiratory support, antimicrobial, and pain relief.

🧘‍♀️This sweet human is Gigi and I feel so honored that they asked me to share their henna ink with them

🌈Sometimes it's not about landing a new client or making a sale. Its simply about joy, connection and community

💜Special shout out to the real henna expert Sushmita who did the beautiful henna you can see on Gigi's left hand
