Where does the name “Moons Breath” come from?
“I have always been fascinated by the moon for its many symbolic meanings and by the way it glows in the sky and the mystery that surrounds it. The soft, gentle light of the moon is said to represent the peace and serenity that we all seek in our lives. For many people, the moon represents a reminder that there is more to life than the hustle and bustle of everyday existence. It is a reminder to slow down, take a breath, and appreciate the simple things in life. In times of turmoil or stress, the moon can be a symbol of hope, offering a glimpse of light in the darkness. Named for the calm feeling that comes from gazing at the moon, we want our products to be a reminder to take a moment to relax and breathe deeply. Whether you're using our essential oils, candles, or other products, we hope that they help you find a little bit of calm in your day.”
About the Founder/Creative Director
The soul of an artist and the heart of a conservationist
Erika was born and raised in New York City. Even though she loved the energy and excitement of the city, she always felt a disconnection from nature. This was until she traveled extensively to experience the wonders of nature and wildlife in some of our world’s most majestic places. From a young age, she displayed an entrepreneurial spirit and was constantly engaging new endeavors. While she earned a degree in psychology and worked full time in the health care setting, she lived out her creative side as a professional Makeup Artist and Dancer. She knew one day she would like to seek a career that would tie her innate desire to help others with her creative skill set. In 2022, Erika took a leap of faith and followed her heart to pursue an online business full time with the mission of providing natural products designed to promote relaxation and that have the power to improve moods, inspire creativity and stimulate imagination. She believes that natural solutions to common mental health issues are often overlooked and wants to help spread awareness about holistic remedies.
Why Aromatherapy?
“Moons Breath is a result of all my inspirations and experiences, both good and bad. I reached a point in my life where I started to experience anxiety. I searched high and low for holistic remedies that could help me manage my stresses without medication. After trying a variety of methods from acupuncture to meditation, I decided to learn about aromatherapy and the benefits and uses of essential oils. I remembered how certain scents made me feel joyful and nostalgic. It was a reminder of how the power of scent can be extremely beneficial in promoting a sense of calm and well-being. I always had a love for all things natural but developed a greater appreciation for essential oils when I noticed how much these plant-based substances helped me. Aromatherapy has become a vital part of my life. I love diffusing oils at home, but I also enjoy using them as a perfume, in skin care products and on essential oil diffuser jewelry. Essential oils help me feel grounded and connected to our earth, which is incredibly important to me. They have become such an integral part of my life which is why I am so passionate about sharing their wondrous healing benefits with others. As the founder of Moons Breath, my goal is to help others discover natural alternatives that work for them and that are safer for the environment, and hope to inspire people to adapt to holistic methods for a healthier and happier life”
