Meet Our Registrar Fiona Kors
I have been practising for over 25 years, and my passion for natural well being has always been through Aromatherapy. I’m dedicated to educating others on the importance of using good quality, therapeutic grade essential oils for optimum health. In 2024, I launched my handcrafted Body + Home Aromatherapy Wellness range, Aroma.nz created with therapeutic grade essential oils and certified organic ingredients. You’ll often find me at local markets, selling my products, sharing my story, and the benefits of Aromatherapy.
I have been involved in all aspects of aromatics since first studying in 1990 in UK and using within my nursing of intensive care patients. I currently offer a small consultancy & specialist aromatic products via www.aromaticadventures.com and fulltime at Universty of Canterbury as a nurse academic. ICAN fellow & I was part of the Gattefosse Foundation International scientific committee until 2025 and helped judge several of the internatioanl prizes. My research can be found here.
Meet our Event Coordinator Tracy Henderson
My journey as an aromatherapist began in the mid 1990s when I studied at Wellpark College. I've completed diplomas in Herbal Medicine & Naturopathy, &a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Complementary Medicine). I support clients with a wide range of health concerns from my clinic in Beachlands. Aromatherapy massage remains at the heart of what I offer. I also love hosting monthly evenings of 'Radiant Restoration' where participants create their own essential oil blends to match a set intention.
