Our 60,000th order is coming up!

We’ll soon be reaching a BIG MILESTONE in our history by processing our 60,000th customer order.  It’s an amazing feeling to know that Balanced Essentials, which began in a small shop in Beecroft, Sydney in 1996 has now been helping people for over twenty five years.

“At the intersection where your gifts, talents and abilities meet a human need; ​​​​​​​​​​therein you will discover your purpose.” – Aristotle

I saw this quote today and it made me really think about my education and the diverse changes that I took in choosing my early jobs – from banking to nursing, pathology paramedic and secretary to business owner and it struck me that I am so very fortunate to have ended up where I am, doing what I love. I am immensely grateful for all of the support and encouragement that my customers have given me and especially for their stories and feedback on how my Balanced Essentials’ products have helped them in their lives.  I can’t thank them enough!

The true hero in this story is the natural world which sadly is so neglected and overlooked these days. Our medical world is happy to manufacture synthetic products which cost them very little to produce but are marketed at a high price and carry with them both a positive effect and a negative.  This sometimes means that you pay a big price for your health with some of the contraindications that come with these.

As I’ve often mentioned essential oils and their uses have been known to humankind for over 5,000 years and have the ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and affect the whole person – both physically and emotionally.  There are so many benefits to using aromatherapy and once you begin on this journey your life changes for the better each and every day.
