Originally from Southern California, Kristina Parry (aka. ApothecaryMama) moved to New England eight years ago and here established her growing family & career calling. When she’s not sharing with family and friends the wonderful natural healing & wellness through her work as a Certified Medicinal Aromatherapist, teaching chemical-free living that includes using therapeutic essential oils, she is helping hundreds of others step into the world of at-home entrepreneurship and financial freedom.

Certified in French Medicinal Aromatherapy, the ApothecaryMama really is just that. Passionate about health, wellness  & being in service to individuals and families of all types. Seemingly world's away from her Communication Studies degree from UCLA and decade spent in advertising & publishing - Kristina takes her passion for healthy, happy people to the next level of care with ongoing education & research.

Ongoing personal education in plant based wellness includes yearly study with world renown doctors, chemists & aromatherapists specializing in true healing. Kristina not only has the pleasure to have colleagues from coast to a coast and internationally - but has also been a guest speaker & educator all over the United States.

As a yoga practitioner for the past twenty years, the profound link between skillful movement and well being has become increasingly vivid and created the curiosity to be trained initially in Integrative Yoga Therapy (RYT200) and Yoga of Energy Flow (RYT500) with multiple certifications that include Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Yoga for Arthritis, Yoga for Cancer. The sheer effort of living successfully brought me to my Buddhist practice back in 1972 and continues to inform my life and work.

Kate Smyers, RN, BSN, Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner

During a long career as a a nurse, I learned about the ancient Japanese healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu.  It is a form of energy work,  using gentle touch over clothing to bring harmony and healing to the body, mind and spirit.  It is a valuable complement to Western Medicine and can be used safely in conjunction with other therapies and medications. Jin Shin Jyutsu identifies numerous “safety energy locks” on the body where energy pathways become blocked.  The practitioner’s hands act as “jumper cables” to help release the blockages along the energy pathways.

After years of nursing, I understand the power of combining Eastern and Western medicine to treat the whole person and welcome the opportunity to share this healing art with clients.  Clients report feeling centered, calm and a sense of peace after treatments as harmony is restored.  If the body can totally relax, the body’s own innate ability to heal is enhanced. I also teach some simple self-help techniques to clients to empower them to support the work of the private sessions.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is now taught in classes around the world and is being offered to patients in some hospitals.

I am also a member of the Associated Body and Massage Professionals organization.
