The Heart Behind the Essences

In 2000, something unexpected stirred. Often in the early hours of the morning - usually around 2am - I would wake and feel led to get up. In those quiet hours, I was shown the ingredients for each essence, and how they were to be used. For a couple of years, this unfolded intensely. Then, over many more years, I followed through with the branding and the business side of what God was asking of me.

I always knew it was God guiding me. He walked with me through so many trials and hardships - I can honestly say He saved my life. Then, around 2015, with my business thriving and my clients achieving great results, a deep yearning stirred within me. I knew there was more to life than striving to "make it". I was also noticing how people were struggling to truly connect - a harshness, a lack of respect and acceptance. When I brought this to God, His answer was simple: "Go to church, Christine." My honest reply? "Why would I want to do that - and mix with a lot of hallelujah people!"

A year later, in 2016, a business networking group led me to a church that met on the same premises. Remembering His words, I wondered if this was one of His destiny moments for me - so the next Sunday, I went. God knew me so well. I would never be satisfied with religion or legalism - only with a real, deep relationship with Him. That Sunday, the presence of the Holy Spirit was palpable. I was humbled, loved and transformed - and hungry for more. I was born again, and I've never looked back. That day showed me why it matters so much to find a Holy Spirit-filled church - where faith is a living relationship, not religion. I've lived a full life, and His love surpasses anything I've found in this world.

I know this may be confronting for some. But it is the truth of my own experience - and as Jesus said, "the truth will set you free" (John 8:32, NIV).

From that moment, my relationship with Him deepened through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. As it did, He showed me a new way to share the essences. The formulations, and the simple way you use them, remain the same - what has grown is how they're offered: as a three-minute daily practice of intention and awareness. This new website is the fruit of that journey.

Looking back, my work with clients was always effective - in a boutique practice, referrals are how you grow. But I noticed that even when real change took place, many people still hadn't found lasting fulfilment, or "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding" (Philippians 4:7, NIV). It was a perpetual journey of striving.

I came to see the same in my own life. Although I had a spiritual gift and conversed with God, I had been stepping into the spiritual realm without Him as my protector, my guide and my source of discernment - and that explained many of the hardships I'd faced. This revelation changed everything. His hand was on me and on the essences from the very beginning - what changed is how I walk with Him. Now my prophetic gift is surrendered to Him, and I include Him in all I do, so that His will is done.

That's why part of my calling is to help business owners, leaders and dedicated parents grow, live out what they were created for - and build their legacy in the process.

There were challenges along the way, and some costly mistakes on my part. But He never gave up on me. As my relationship with Him grew, I came to know the truth of His promise: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28, NIV).

My Diploma in Clinical Aromatherapy and NeuroChange™ Master Practitioner qualification gave me a foundation. But the depth, complexity and distinctive layers within each Mastery Essence - and within every Sound & Stillness experience - go far beyond anything I could create from knowledge alone. They flow from the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and I'm honoured and humbled to have followed His lead in bringing these offerings to life.

Every botanical is there for a reason. Layer upon layer, up to 100+ of them, prayerfully chosen to carry that essence's message - so one breath can bring you back to what matters most.

Every botanical reaches for the sun. Our gold sun is a reminder that we, too, are made to reach for the Light that sustains us - and makes all growth possible.

My relationship with God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - is the foundation of everything I create, and every essence is formulated prayerfully. Walking with Him, I've come to know there is a very real spiritual war in this world, and that He gives us access to His wisdom, His power and His protection - and a greater capacity to hear, know and live out the purpose He has placed within each of us. As Jesus said, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27, NIV). He has also given each of us the gift of free will. That's why this practice is always an invitation, never a requirement.

So many things shape how we live out our purpose - past conditioning, limiting beliefs, cultural influences and the stories we've come to accept as our own. God has created us to live to our full potential, and walking with Him gives us access to His wisdom, love and foresight far beyond our own understanding. Without Him, I was touching only a drop in the ocean of who I was created to be. Under His guidance, I've been encouraged to share the Mastery Essences and Sound & Stillness - layered formulations and original audio experiences you can return to at your own pace, wherever your journey takes you.

If you know Jesus as your Saviour, your practice can become a sacred space - a few minutes each day where the Holy Spirit guides you, alongside the wisdom of Scripture. And if you're exploring your own spirituality, or simply seeking a more intentional way to live, the practice holds its own depth: the richness of each formulation, a clear intention, and the steadiness of committing to your growth.

There is a valuable place for coaching, counselling and therapy, and this practice is never a replacement for professional support. But often, growth begins with something simpler - a clear intention, a consistent practice and an open, receptive heart.

A Mastery Essence is a gift to savour and enjoy - a companion for your journey. And for those who know the Lord, it's never a replacement for your relationship with Him. It simply helps you become more aware and intentional in your time with Him, and more open to what He wants you to know. You don't need the practice for that to happen. But in a world full of distractions, pressures and the constant call to do more, it offers a beautiful opportunity to give yourself space, let go, realign and centre - an anchor for your day, and an invitation to be curious about what you'll discover in those moments.

For many believers, it becomes a natural part of their devotional time - a fragrant beginning to prayer and Scripture reading. Others love to pair it with journalling, quiet reflection, a Sound & Stillness experience or simply a few moments of stillness.

As new ways of thinking and living become natural, you may simply move on with confidence - or feel drawn to another Mastery Essence for whatever you're ready to embrace next.
