Hello, my name is Jenny Simon.
I’d like to tell you a little bit about my story…

Aromas are very powerful and affect us physically, emotionally and spiritually. They bring back memories, stimulate healing and can even act as powerful aphrodisiacs.

When I look back, it seems that everything I ever did in my life was for a reason. The story of Byron Nature’s Gift started many years ago in the distant land of Croatia, when my grandmother introduced me to the magic world of plants. My parents both worked, so I spent all my days with my grandmother who loved her garden, herbs and flowers. She had a wealth of knowledge of the healing power of herbs.

In the years that followed, I moved to Australia and worked in different fields, but that first love for flowers and herbs has always been with me. It was reawakened when my family and I moved to the Far North Coast of New South Wales in 1989.

I began working for a large local nursing home. I learned the art of holistic aromatherapy on the job and through professional studies. I saw first-hand the amazing effects and healing powers of hand blending essential oils. Like bergamot and lavender to help reduce stress and depression, peppermint to stimulate a weary mind, eucalyptus to clear congested lungs and lavender to treat insomnia. I loved helping my clients improve their life, happiness and health, but I also had a dream - to one day create my own skincare range.

In 2004 after many years of research, formulation and with the help of European expertise, my business, Byron Nature’s Gift, was born.

I specialise in hand blending creams and lotions that smell divine, are pure enough to eat, feel smooth and heavenly on the skin and work to keep ageing at bay. I use only the highest quality, organic, healing herbal extracts and therapeutic essential oils – all blended with love in the foothills of Byron Bay.

My grandmother is long gone now but to this day the scent of lavender transports me back to my grandmother’s garden where we spent so much time together.

What I learned from my grandmother, I now pass on to you. It is my gift and I hope you will accept it. Look good and smell divine! I invite you to share my passion for the healing power of aromatherapy.
