Roots of Alchemy
I have been making natural skin care for more than 15 years and am excited to share that I will be offering some topical skin care medicine making classes online starting in October. The first weekly series begins in October 8th, if you would like make your own skin care, or deepen your relationship with medicine making, this series is for you!
Beginning October 8th, 2019 Esenta-edu will be offering the first Medicine-Making Series focused on Topical Skin Care, and it is just in time for the holiday season! This will be a 6-week series designed to build a solid foundation to making your own skin care products including lip balms, salves, massage oils, body lotions, face serums, and even more luxurious creations to adorn your most delicate bits of your body temple. Each Tuesday evening from 6-8:00pm (and sometimes until 8:30), Mtn Standard Time, we will join together so that I can demonstrate and explain how to make your own skin care.
During Class No. 1, we will dive into carrier oils and sourcing ingredients.
 
Class No. 2 I’ll show you how to make infused oils and massage oils.
 
During Class No. 3 you will learn how to transform these infused oils into luxurious lip balms and salves.
 
Class No. 4 We will be making body butters and whipped butters to adorn and lavish all over your body temple.
 
During Class No. 5 I’ll show you how to make your own deodorant, so you can choose what you want on your pits! (This has become one of my all time best selling products.)
 
During our final Class No. 6 I’ll demonstrate how to make your own body and face lotions using all of the knowledge that we’ve built on so far. This allows you the confidence to customize your skin care with infused oils you’ve made yourself while leaving out all the toxic chemicals that are in commercial skin care.

Kathryn is a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, Certified Herbalist, Nutritionist and Flower Essence Practitioner. Her experience within the field of holistic health is rooted in Clinical Aromatherapy, raw food preparation, and healing foods preparation. As a practitioner, Kathryn brings her attention to detail through observation, ability to listen on a deeper level, appreciation for the body’s expression, and an investigative interest. She believes that by listening and being watchful of the body and how it carries itself, along with tracking our daily rituals and routines, it allows for a deeper understanding of one’s state of wellness and where it would be most useful to set the attention toward self-care. Kathryn’s interest in plant medicine began at a young age when she realized she had sensitivities to chemicals commonly used in products such as fabric detergent and soap. This led to the discovery of one of her first plant allies, essential oils. Moved by the concept that essential oils have the ability to affect multiple levels of our being, what first provided a non-irritating alternative way to scent herself, laid a pathway into a study of the human body and holistic wellness. After years of her own study and learning medicine making skills, she went on to earn her Certification in Clinical Aromatherapy at the Institute of Integrative Aromatherapy in 2010. While in the Clinical Aromatherapy program she developed a series of Chakra Oils as a meditation tool to help people access and understand their energetic system. Her holistic practice is called Roots of Alchemy, LLC; She also makes all-natural body care and face care products through this company. Moved by learning of how many people were using essential oils inappropriately and experiencing unintentional negative outcomes, Kathryn was inspired to create Esenta, The Aromaticum App in 2016. This is a pocket resource guide to using essential oils safely. Kathryn’s reverence for the power of herbs and food as a primary source of healing was deeply anchored after her mother passed away at the age of 56, nearly ten years ago. After losing her mother, and months of being depressed and eating only minimally, Kathryn began to consider food as a possible route to finding her well-being. Taking purposeful steps in this direction created a shift in her awareness around self-care. She went on to study Healing Diets and Herbalism at the School of Natural Medicine. It was during her study here that she decided to pursue a deeper study with herbs, and through kismet timing and manifestation of a heartfelt wish, found herself studying Medical Herbalism at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism. In addition to her herbal interests, Kathryn has also studied astrology, numerology, and tarot as self-development tools and hand-drew her own tarot deck as part of a ten-year apprenticeship. She weaves imagery with words to allow for a story to open up possibility. Through life’s trials and storms, she has come to witness the mystery of the journey and how often our perceived weakness can lend light which allows one to find their greatest resources of strength. This intersection between our mind, body, emotions, and spirit, lays the foundation for our vital force to actualize. Kathryn developed a deep love for the mysteries and wisdom of the natural world at an early age. She grew up in Boulder, Colorado and has enjoyed a history of hiking and camping throughout the Front Range. Her core areas of clinical interest include skin issues, musculoskeletal concerns, digestive concerns, anxiety and stress management, pain management, nervous system support, restorative formulations, food elimination guidance and support, the emotional thread within wellness, and food preparation assistance, in addition to others.
