Sabine introduces herself in a few words:
After obtaining my degree in Psychology at the University of Paris 8, I embarked on a fascinating journey into the world of aromatherapy, where I finally found my calling. Today, as an aromatologist, I guide and advise in the use of essential oils, vegetable oils and hydrosols. My approach integrates scientific rigor while taking into account energetic, emotional and cosmetic dimensions.
I have always been oriented towards others, characterized by great empathy and natural kindness. This is how I was initially led to pursue studies in Psychology.
I made a commitment to share this knowledge so that everyone can benefit from the benefits of aromatherapy in their daily lives, whether in terms of physical, emotional, cosmetic health, and much more.
I have a deep passion for essential oils, and I can't wait to share the wonders they can do every day!
