Everyday life is a challenge, causing stress, fatigue and anxiety. People desire convenient, all-natural solutions to help them cope.
Our products are expertly formulated using vegan, premium ingredients and essential oils to stimulate joy and passion in every person.
Everyday life can be challenging. More than 70% of the U.S. population regularly experiences physical and psychological symptoms caused by stress, fatigue and anxiety. To cope, people must choose between healthy and unhealthy actions. However, there’s not always time or space to meditate, pray, or even just relax.
There’s a real want and need for convenient, all-natural solutions to the negative symptoms brought on by daily life.
People are searching for healthy options.
ADORAtherapy provides essential oil products made from pure, premium ingredients that align with the growing trend towards natural, organic and eco-friendly beauty and wellness products.
We source ingredients for our Mood Boosts from organic, biodynamic plants and blend them with essential oils. Our products are vegan and cruelty-free certified.
Founded upon the belief that inner beauty includes inner peace, freedom from stress, personal transformation and personal fulfillment, our products stimulate joy and passion in every person.
The ADORAtherapy Mood Boosts product line is designed to support personal growth and transformational healing. It consists of three distinct collections:
Our products do more than just transform one’s mood in the moment. When someone combines our expertly formulated aromatherapy Mood Boosts with their own clear and strong intent, they will become a master of their life and destiny. Where intention goes, energy flows. Simply inhale the desired Mood Boost™, allow a full deep breath to move through your being, and meditate on the Mood Boosts™’ affirmation for quantum shifts in awareness.
Smell is the most evocative of our senses. It has the ability to transform every way we interact with ourselves and the world around us.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the art and science of using pure essential oils that are biochemically active to improve physical and emotional wellbeing. An inhaled aroma travels through the olfactory system to the brain and activates the limbic system, which regulates much of our physiology including mood, memory and emotion.
Essential oils can also be applied to the skin, during which chemical constituents of the oils are carried in the bloodstream to all areas of the body.
Mood Boosts
We expertly formulate our vegan and cruelty-free products using the best natural ingredients for each desired mood, like lavender for calmness, cinnamon for energy and peppermint for focus. Mood Boosts are manufactured right here in the U.S. and come in spray and roll-on forms.
ADORAtherapy is less than two years old but already we’ve accomplished a lot, including proving out our product and market fit. Here’s a look at some of what we’ve achieved so far:

Partnerships
Distributors: We have a distributor in Korea, in Japan, and will close a New Zealand distributor in the next 45 days. We anticipate having six or more by the end of the year.
The Laboratory of Flowers: The Laboratory of Flowers, the premier aromatherapy and essential oils distributor in the industry, has been our formulator since 2012. The Laboratory of Flowers’ president, Michael Scholes, works daily with over 250 of the highest quality essential oils from over 60 countries.
Product Crew: Stacy McGuire leads the product crew buying agency based in Hong Kong from his offices in Tennessee. Product Crew supplies our bottles and boxes and supports our R&D needs.
Manufacturing and Distribution
We’re developing a plan to progressively move to models that will include:
We have secured multiple manufacturing partners for our bottles and boxes that provide us with the best quality and pricing.
We’ve secured relationships with top showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas and New York, providing us with more than 70 reps in the field in multiple channels. We also have a national sales manager who develops our wellness channel and manages more than 15 reps.
Social Proof
ADORAtherapy has received positive feedback in the press and on social media. Our formulation, packaging and Mood Boosts have attracted followers and a consistent reorder business.
We’ve been written about in a variety of publications, including Natural Solutions, Spirituality & Health, American Spa, Carolina Home + Garden, The Laurel of Asheville and Beauty Store Business Magazine. When something’s this good, it’s worth talking about.
ADORAtherapy’s focus for 2017 to 2019 will be growing the business.
Mood Boost Bar
This year, we’re piloting our Seed to Store and Mood Boost Bar retail concepts. Asheville welcomes over nine million tourists each year, making it a great place to create a destination for aromatherapy, similar to the successful microbrewery industry.
With our Seed to Store process, we’ll understand the desired Mood Boost, envision the recipe, then locally grow charismatic organic components hydroponically. We’ll distill and blend the essential oils to create a just-right formula, then bottle and ship the Mood Boosts. Our vision for aromatherapy is for it to extend past the store shelf to become a therapeutic and entertaining experience.
We’ll also open a physical store location called a Mood Boost Bar, where consumers can watch the products being made, test them, and purchase their favorites, all in a clean and relaxing environment. We aim to make this a must-do local Asheville experience.
Product Development
We’ll also be developing our Artisan Collection and several new mainstream collections. Our artisan formulations will be for sale exclusively on our website and in our retail stores. These will include small batch product runs of:
We are pursuing large scale distribution through Direct Response TV for several collections including:
