vibrational Mists
Authentic Wisdom vibrational mists support presence, awareness, and healing. Each mist aligns with a chakra and is designed to integrate emotional and spiritual balance. Use them at work, at home, or during meditation to create a supportive atmosphere and access deeper healing. Shake well and mist around your head, body, or space as needed.
This gentle vibrational mist is a beautiful companion for moments of self-connection and emotional nourishment. Created with intention, it supports a daily ritual of self-love and acceptance—reminding us of our innate worth and the interconnectedness we share with all living beings.
Spritz the mist lightly over your body after a shower or bath, allowing its subtle aroma to invite a sense of calm and openness. Pairing this with a spoken affirmation in the mirror can be a powerful practice. While this may feel unfamiliar at first, approaching it with kindness and consistency can help deepen your relationship with yourself over time.
This mist is not a medical treatment, but rather a supportive tool for emotional wellbeing and mindful self-care.
Joy Vibrational Mist is crafted to evoke a sense of lightness, playfulness, and presence. With its fresh citrus notes—including bergamot and lemon myrtle—this mist invites you to reconnect with the uplifting qualities of joy and vitality, especially during moments when energy feels low or motivation is lacking.
Use it as a gentle body mist or to refresh your space, welcoming a bright, invigorating aroma that can help shift your emotional focus and bring you back into the present moment with greater ease.
This mist is intended as a supportive tool for emotional wellbeing and daily self-care rituals. While not a substitute for professional support, it offers a simple, sensory way to nurture your inner spark.
Peace Vibrational Mist is a calming blend designed to support moments of quiet reflection, meditation, and restful pause. With its soothing aroma, this mist can serve as a gentle companion when you're seeking inner stillness, clarity, or a deeper sense of connection.
Use it during your meditation or mindfulness practice to encourage a spacious, centred state of awareness. Many find it supportive as part of an evening ritual—spritzed lightly in the room or on a pillow—to help create a tranquil atmosphere for rest.
While not intended as a medical remedy, Peace Mist offers a simple, nurturing way to support emotional balance and holistic wellbeing through daily sensory rituals.

“Cathy has been a guiding light during a difficult period in my life. When I was diagnosed with coeliac disease and struggling with depression, her naturopathic knowledge and compassionate counselling made a huge difference. She supported me holistically—emotionally and physically—helping me understand my body and mind in a new way. Her care and insight have been truly life-changing”
