Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

I’m Marge Clark, and I started Nature’s Gift Aromatherapy back in the early ’90s, rather by accident. A hobby developed into a passion and somehow became a business.

We import and sell the finest quality essential oils that we can source from distillers and producers around the world. We blend them to create synergies and other products for emotional and physical healing. And we try to educate visitors to our website on their safe and appropriate use.

Somehow this has grown to bring us, some years, over a million and a half dollars, although between Covid and the current economy, sales have dropped this year. But we keep doing what we do because we know we make a difference in people’s lives.

In the past I had considered retiring and just “divesting myself of the assets”, but then we will get emails from clients saying how this product eased a stubborn case of shingles, or that product helped with someone’s PTSD, and how can I just walk away? Some of our clients have been with us for over 25 years. They trust us and count on us. You can not put a price tag on that kind of loyalty.
