Pull up a seat lovies, and I'll tell you a story.My name is Kimberly Ayers but most of my friends call me 'Bella.' My introduction to aromatherapy started way back with Aroma Vera in 1994 working with the very fabulous Gary Kobat who was the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at the time. From working with Gary I learned the sales and marketing end of the aromatherapy industry. Without his guidance and training I never would have continued to explore the fascinating world of scent.
My training in the art of scent is by the very best in AromaHerbalism and that would be the Grande Dame Jeanne Rose. Between Gary Kobat and Jeanne Rose I've been very blessed and have had a fabulous way to start out, wouldn't you agree?
Together Ms. Rose and I coordinated the very first, 'NAHA World of Aromatherapy Conference and Trade Show' in San Francisco and I was also her personal assistant. Through her I have learned vast amounts of information on aromatherapy, herbalism, life lessons and I treasure her greatly. Currently I assist Ms. Rose with special projects and am the editor for her online newsletter.
I have a heavy hand when I blend my perfumes potions (aka 'Pretty Poisons') - they are a symphony of scent and a banquet for your senses. The aromatherapy blends I create are blended for specific physical, mental or emotional needs and I've been told that in addition to being reasonably priced, they're pretty faboo as well! :D
When I'm not creating aromatherapy blends or perfumes, you can find me creating art! My art blog is here: Crushed Velvet & Roses Art Blog.
Thanks for visiting!
