My Story: From Therapist to Handcrafted Soap Maker

Hi there! I'm Aline, a mother of two young adults, a stepmother to three wonderful children, and the heart behind Floraline Blooms & Botanicals. We live on a peaceful homestead, surrounded by nature's beauty — a constant source of comfort and healing for me.

As a therapist, I've always believed in the power of wellness, not just for the mind, but for the whole self. Over time, I found myself expanding that idea of wellness beyond my practice and into my everyday life. Creating a home that values balance, health, and simplicity has always been important to me.

Soap making became an unexpected but joyful extension of that mindset. I began crafting soaps to share a little bit of the natural, chemical-free goodness I believe in. Each bar is made with 100% pure essential oils, chosen not just for their fragrance but for their calming, invigorating, or restorative properties. I also use clays and botanicals like lavender buds, calendula petals, and oatmeal to enhance the natural benefits and create beautiful, nourishing bars.

I’ve spent countless hours perfecting each recipe, carefully balancing ingredients to create soaps that not only cleanse but also nurture and restore the skin. Testing different combinations, learning through trial and error, and seeing the final result — it's been a process of love, patience, and genuine curiosity. I want every bar to carry the intention of care, wellness, and connection to nature.

One of the greatest joys of this journey has been working alongside my daughter, Meera. Her creativity and enthusiasm bring new energy to Floraline Blooms & Botanicals, and together, we put love and intention into every bar of soap we make. As a mother, I care deeply about what goes on my family's skin, and I extend that same care to everyone who uses our products.

Floraline Blooms & Botanicals isn't just a business — it's a piece of my heart, a reflection of my belief that self-care should be simple, gentle, and connected to nature. I hope our soaps can bring a little extra comfort, calm, and care into your life, just as they've done for mine.

Thank you for being here and for letting me share my story with you. It means the world to me.

With love and gratitude,

Aline Martel
