• I love my job as a cosmetic formulator. I’m developing spa products and doing research on products used in spas. In Sedona, Arizona, I went to @mii_amo_spa. It’s a unique destination spa nestled in Boynton Canyon, Kachina woman rock and her vortex and Native American Culture. Apache medicine man, Manuel Cooley, said, “The birth of the Apache Sunrise Ceremony and songs and all Apache medicine started from Boynton Canyon and the surrounding areas.” We hiked up to Kachina woman rock and didn’t know there was a vortex there and experienced the vortex. It’s a mystical and unexplainable experience. This area is what makes this spa extra special. The spa has a crystal grotto , a sacred space inspired by the Native American Kiva, with beautiful large crystals placed around the circle. Before entering the crystal grotto you write an intention or something you want to release and then cross the bridge into the grotto. The intentions are burned in the fire. I went there for an early meditation that was peaceful, loving, magnetic and moving. The massage oil used for the day is placed in the middle next to a large crystal with light from the above sky beaming on it and it’s infused with the meditative energy. The spa offers many treatments. If you can splurge and go, make sure and look into the Native American Healing Therapies, Specialty Treatments, Connection with Spirit and/or the Pinon Pine Body Scrub. I am so inspired and now developing pure organic skin, body and hair products with deep intention for nourishing and rejuvenating the body and soul. 🌺Joan

  • 🌱Infusing Sacred Oil with 9 different herbs. All the herbs I chose because I was drawn to them and they are beneficial to the skin and hair. As I stir the oil, I add well wishes and I make the infinity sign. After straining the oil, I can add to my skin and hair care product formulations. . #veganskincare #naturalhaircare #cleanbeauty #herbalskincare #sacredoils #infusing #plantbased

  • I wanted to create a plant-based Piñon Pine salve using plant wax. When I make medicinal salves, I like to place the medicinal ingredients on a bed of crystals and infuse the energy from the crystals. A double boiler system should be used to melt the sap and the wax with the oils. Piñon pine sap is a natural antiseptic. Piñon pine salve has properties that promote soothing and healing to the skin. It is used for minor cuts, scrapes, mild sunburns and burns, splinters, insect bites and scratches. It is a general treatment salve for a localized area on the skin. .

  • Learn to make the healing Piñon Pine Salve! . I am so fascinated and love traditional medicines by indigenous people. I just returned from Sedona and the Grand Canyon. It was a very spiritual trip for me. I learned about Native American medicinal herbs and how they have been and are still being used for healing. As soon as we arrived in Sedona and I stepped out of the car I was captivated by the Piñon Pine Tree that was in front of me. I learned that the Piñon Pine Tree provides a medicinal sap that helps to rapidly heal skin, minor cuts, scrapes, burns, splinters and dry and cracked skin. A salve with the sap has many healing benefits for the skin. I did not see any plant-based salves so I developed one. It is an incredible healing salve. 🌺Joan .
