At Adoratherapy we always say: "people are the most important ingredient". Our approach to developing teams and corporate culture goes beyond inclusivity and equity to adoring, acts of compassion and open heartedness.
Up until recently everyone on our team came to us energetically, a mutual attraction and vibration, and desire to be a part of what we are building, which is not only a business but a community focused on healing.
Meet Ariana, the Director of Manufacturing at Adoratherapy. Ariana's journey with self-love and mindfulness is inspiring. She believes in taking one step at a time and values her daily mindfulness meditation routine to energize and take care of herself.
Ariana's relationship with Laura, Adoratherapy's founder and CEO, started when they met through her prior job at a a cleaning company. Ariana was recalibrating from her stressful corporate and hospitality work at the time. They quickly built a strong and trusting partnership. When Adoratherapy was looking to fill new roles, Ariana was ready to bring her gifts to the company.
Arianna's role as Director of Manufacturing at Adoratherapy involves bottling, boxing, and making the products, as well as taking care of shipping and handling. She assists in managing the flow of manufacturing, and keeps everything on track at the factory in Woodfin.
Ariana also loves working at the store, she actually started there to learn everything there was to know about the products, the business and chakra balancing. What does she love most about the store? Interacting with the people who come through, including locals and tourists. Sharing information about the products and educating people about chakra healing through aromatherapy is something she realized she enjoys.
Ariana appreciates ADORatherapy's clean, pet friendly, and water-based products: "I enjoy making them, they are safe to use in the home and around my dog Jedi".
Ariana recommends the Aura Sprays, specifically the Clear Away spray which helps clear the air and dispel negative energy. It provides her with a sense of calm and helps her re-center herself. She uses Clear Away instead of a smudge stick, especially in between tasks and before making products. She sprays it when she first comes in to recalibrate the room's energy, setting a positive tone for the work day ahead.
Her favorite Adoratherapy products are the Chakra 1 Aroma Perfume and the Chakra Perfume Oils. She applies them every morning and loves how they last throughout the day, especially on her clothes and skin. SHE SAYS: "The clean and amazing smell of the perfume also serves as a reminder that although work can be stressful, mindfulness can ease the burden".
Ariana's Aura Color Personality is blue, symbolizing calm and peace. She has a violet color at the top, representing her intuitive and cosmic connection, and green side colors, signifying her communicative, caretaking, and loving nature.
One of her favorite parts about working in the Adoratherapy store at the historic Grove Arcade is connecting with the community and helping customers with their chakra healing. Ariana enjoys seeing where people are on their healing journeys and assisting them through the benefits of aromatherapy.
Currently, Ariana's personal healing journey is focused on following her intuition. She has lived in Asheville for 10 years and it has become her home that she loves dearly.
