At A. Apothecary, our custom essential oil consultations are designed to provide you with a personalized and holistic approach to wellness. Here’s what you can expect during your consultation:

1. Initial Consultation Booking

• Scheduling: Contact us via phone, email, or through our online booking system to schedule your consultation. Let us know your preferred date and time, and if you have any specific concerns or goals in mind, feel free to mention them.
• Preparation: Once your appointment is confirmed, we will send you a brief questionnaire to fill out ahead of time. This helps us understand your wellness goals, any health concerns, allergies, or sensitivities, and your experience with essential oils.

2. In-Person or Virtual Consultation

• Welcome and Introduction:. We’ll review the information from your pre-consultation questionnaire to gain a better understanding of your needs.
• Discussion of Wellness Goals: The consultation begins with a conversation about your wellness goals. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, improve sleep, boost energy, support immune health, or address specific physical or emotional concerns, we’ll explore your unique needs.
• Assessment of Preferences: We’ll discuss your scent preferences, sensitivities, and any previous experiences with essential oils. This helps us ensure that the blend we create is not only effective but also enjoyable for you to use.
• Education: We’ll help educate you on the benefits of various essential oils that may be suitable for your needs. This includes explaining the therapeutic properties of each oil, any precautions, and how they might be blended together to achieve your desired outcome.

3. Blend Creation

• Selection of Oils: Based on the information gathered during the consultation, we’ll carefully select a combination of essential oils that align with your wellness goals and preferences.
• Custom Blending: You’ll have the opportunity to participate in the blending process. We’ll guide you as you smell and test different combinations to find the perfect synergy. If you’re unsure, we will create the blend for you.
• Formulation: The chosen oils will be blended in the appropriate ratios to create a personalized formula. Depending on your needs, the blend can be made into a roll-on, spray, diffuser blend, or other suitable application methods.

4. Usage Guidelines and Follow-Up

• Instructions: Once your custom blend is prepared, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to use it effectively. This includes dosage recommendations, application methods, and frequency of use.
• Follow-Up: After a week or two of using your blend, we’ll check in with you to see how you’re feeling and to make any necessary adjustments. This follow-up ensures that the blend is working effectively and allows for any fine-tuning.
• Ongoing Support: As your wellness needs evolve, we’re here to support you. You can schedule follow-up consultations or reach out anytime for advice, additional blends, or to explore new areas of wellness.

5. Customization and Reordering

• Personalized Service: Your blend recipe will be saved in our system for future reorders. If you find that the blend works well for you, reordering is simple and easy.
• Further Customization: Should your needs change, we’re happy to adjust your blend or create new ones as needed. We aim to provide ongoing support as you journey towards better health and wellness
