Let’s Connect!
Posted by shabranae patton on
Hello Anchor’d family!
I’m thrilled to share a little about my new book, The Smell of Trauma: Understanding and Healing through Aromatherapy. This book is deeply personal—it dives into the powerful, often unspoken ways that scents connect us to memories, emotions, and healing. For many trauma survivors, including myself, finding ways to feel safe, comforted, and grounded can be a challenge. That’s where aromatherapy comes in.
A Journey of Healing through Scent
In The Smell of Trauma, I explore the science and art of aromatherapy, offering insights into how certain scents can help trauma survivors feel calm and reconnected with themselves. Whether it’s the soothing aroma of lavender, the bright uplift of citrus, or the grounding warmth of cedarwood, each scent has its own unique ability to affect our moods and bring comfort. These aren’t just abstract concepts either—they’re real tools I’ve used in my own healing journey and now share with others through Anchor’d Inc.
So, How Does This Tie into the Aromatherapy Wellness Brunch?
Great question! The Aromatherapy Wellness Brunch was born out of the same passion and purpose that fueled the writing of this book. I wanted to create an experience that invites people into the world of aromatherapy in a hands-on, interactive way. At the brunch, not only will you get to taste delicious hors d’oeuvres, sip on refreshing beverages, and connect with like-minded folks, but you’ll also make your very own custom aromatherapy blend.
Consider it a live, sensory chapter of The Smell of Trauma brought to life! Just like in the book, where I discuss the benefits of different essential oils and how they can support healing, at the brunch, you’ll have the chance to craft your own personal blend that speaks to your unique needs. It’s a chance to take what you’ve read (or will read!) in the book and experience it firsthand.
A Fun Day, with Purpose
But that’s not all! The brunch isn’t just about personal healing—it’s about coming together to support others. During the event, we’ll be assembling care packages for survivors in local safe homes, ensuring that they, too, receive the gift of aromatherapy and wellness products. Just like the theme of the book, we’re making it playful, personal, and impactful. Every product, every care package, is prepared with love and intention, knowing it can bring a moment of peace to someone in need.
