TYPE OF MOM | RECOMMENDED OILS | REPUTED BENEFITS |
---|---|---|
Active Mom This Mom rarely has a moment of doing nothing – her schedule is practically always packed with things that must be done immediately, both for herself and her children. She patiently, eagerly, and promptly attends her family’s extra-curricular events to support and show her pride in them! AND/OR Exercise Enthusiast Mom This Mom is zealous about fitness – activities that might include running, cycling, rock climbing, yoga, swimming, and lifting weights. Her high levels of energy, natural enthusiasm, and her positive outlook make it exciting to be in her company. |
Refreshing & Energizing Lime Clove Lemon Marjoram Cinnamon Grapefruit Eucalyptus Peppermint Lemongrass Black Pepper |
These “bright” oils help to energize and invigorate through their scents, encouraging a feeling of revitalization to support Mom’s emotional and physical well-being after a day of exerting herself excessively. |
Exhausted Mom She might be a first-time Mom, have a football team of children to watch over, or be juggling work outside the home with her ever-growing domestic To-Do list. Whatever her story, she’s often sleep-deprived, overwhelmed, confused, and distracted. Though she loves her babies, she’s desperate for some time to herself, away from the constant commotion around her. |

These oils exude all-pervading aromas that are profoundly reassuring, uplifting, and that promote feelings of being mentally balanced and grounded. They help the soul to feel soothed and the mind to feel relaxed, allowing Mom to experience some occasions – however brief – of rest and revitalization. |
The Mindful Mom This introspective, peaceful Mom lives her life with the intention to be self-aware in action and speech and with the purpose of being a role model for her children, who she aims to raise with emotional balance, self-respect, and self-empowerment. She strives to achieve this goal by constantly improving herself through mindfulness practices, such as prayer, meditation, and yoga in order to maintain perspective, positivity, and presence through consciousness of her own emotional journey, behaviors, and habits. |

VIP Mom / Career-Woman Mom This Mom might be a celebrity, a business executive, or a leader in various other denotations of the word. This Mom is known to give high priority to her job – which is often full time – whether at the office, on a stage, or behind the scenes.

New Mom This Mom has likely been entirely and exhaustingly preoccupied with taking care for her newborn little darling at the expense of her own rest and emotional well-being. All the gifts she receives at this time are likely only for the baby, but she too can use some mood-boosting pampering! |
Mood-Boosting & Rejuvenating Lemon Lavender Bergamot Clary Sage Sweet Basil |
These sweet, soothing scents are known to help freshen any room – which will likely be a welcome change after Mom has been changing many dirty diapers.

Nature Mom This mom loves to spend time outdoors whether she’s going for walks in the park, hiking along trails, or camping in the woods. When she can’t get outside and be active, she can start to feel restless and stagnant. Green Fingers Mom This Mom loves to dig around in the dirt to cultivate the herbs and flowers that might even get her recognition for having the most beautiful garden in the neighborhood. Her vibrant and aromatic blooms, the fresh air, and the sound of birds and wind chimes might be all she needs to fall into a meditative trance in her bespoke natural temple. |
Immune-Boosting & Uplifting Pine Orange Cajeput Lavender Rosemary Citronella Eucalyptus Peppermint Lemongrass Copaiba Balsam |

Computer-Proficient Mom This Mom likes to stay up-to-the-minute with all the newest technology and devices. Whether she’s an IT expert, a gamer, a blogger, or a vlogger, she likely spends extensive amounts of time in front of the screen and might often find herself snacking even when she doesn’t need to! |
Disciplining & Stabilizing Basil Fennel Patchouli Citronella Cinnamon Grapefruit |
These Essential Oils are reputed to enhance self-control and to promote the feeling of the belly being satisfied, which helps to reduce the appetite and cravings for snacking. |

Her top priority is her family’s health, and she consistently strives toward this goal by choosing the most natural options available, aiming to prevent any toxins from entering the happy home environment or the sacred body. |

Mom-In-Law Like most relationships, the mother-daughter relationship is sometimes wanting in stability and fairness. This frustration can sometimes be even more pronounced when it comes to dealing with a mother-in-law, a woman that you might love and respect but not necessarily someone that you can relate to in the way you might be used to relating with your own mother. This can often lead to agitation and a turbulent relationship, but gifts have a way of speaking when people can’t. With their pleasant scents, Essential Oils may help improve the situation as Mom-in-Law comes to associate their harmonious fragrances with pleasant memories of you! |
Harmonizing & Comforting Neroli Yarrow Geranium Blue Tansy Helichrysum Rose Absolute Jasmine Absolute |
