The backstory from then until now….
JennScents started almost on its own. As owner Jennifer Pressimone, was battling a life-threatening illness for several years, she frequently visited the local herb shop. Customers who came in noticed that she was getting better month after month and eventually asked her to make them a customized aromatherapy blend for various ailments. The JennScents Aromatherapy Bar was born.
Jennifer created an apothecary experience for customers to come in, smell the oils and based on their scent preferences and needs, she’d create them a custom blend on the spot. She expanded into clinical consultations and continued to develop her signature health focused products. That included healthy gift boxes, skin & body products, and pet care. She eventually took over the Herb Shoppe & Day Spa and expanded the wellness landscape in her community with a Farmer’s Market and integrative medicine with local doctors.
Jennifer was often asked to be a guest speaker at many conferences and travelled to Europe & Asia to help medical centers implement aromatherapy blending bars. Using the education she gained in natural health, paired with her psychology and business management experience, she found her niche in mental & emotional health. As education was scarce at that time, she began teaching others about holistic health and how to create custom blends at her school. She taught holistic aromatherapy and herbal programs, as well as business and personal development.
Today, she teaches and mentors health & wellness specialists to integrate holistic aromatherapy practices into their professional services through online & virtual courses and programs. She continues to be a highly sought presenter at natural health & wellness conference, magazines, podcasts, and other media.
A passion Jennifer is excited to see flourishing is the implementation of aromatherapy into VA patient centers across the country. She continues to mentor several VA clinics to safely and effectively help veterans with essential oils and carriers. Complementary medicine is being more widely recognized for its efficacy and value of combatting the opioid crisis.
Her love and legacy are developing the new groundbreaking branch of holistic health, Aromatherapy Intuitive. She teaches others her revolutionary methods of deep emotional and mindset healing that also strengthens gut and whole-body health.
