Looking For Something Different this Valentine's Day? Think Outside the (Chocolate) Box

Looking for that special gift that says I love you? Think outside the (chocolate) box this year. Tell her you love her with a unique gift that will empower her and make her feel her best—an Ayurvedic Consultation.

Ayurveda is India’s 5,000-year-old healing art, also known as yoga’s sister-science. It helps people understand themselves and their unique constitutions. A consultation in Ayurveda offers lifestyle and nutritional recommendations, aromatherapy suggestions, and possibly yoga, breathing, and meditation techniques, to help women stay in balance and feel rejuvenated.

The hour-long personal Consultation is conducted by local Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Yoga Teacher Alana Layne Greenberg, who has 20 years of experience and is co-founder of the aromatherapy company Anjali Aromatics. Included in the consultation is an assessment of which Anjali Essential Oil is the perfect compliment for your loved one, and this proprietary blend will be beautifully packaged and presented to her. Anjali Aromatics hand-blends each of their products with essential oils sourced from boutique sustainable farms around the world that distill the finest organic and potent ingredients available.

So show your love this Valentine’s Day with an Ayurvedic Consultation. She will leave with a personalized health regimen created specifically for her and a luxurious aroma that will remind her of how much you care, for weeks and months to come. Truly a gift that keeps on giving.     

Valentine’s Day special pricing for Patch readers is $150 and includes one Ayurvedic Consultation and Anjali Aromatherapy blend. For more information and to purchase your consultation please call Alana at 646-434-9934 or email her at anjaliaromatics@gmail.com.

What to know more? Here are three questions for the business owners, Alana Greenberg and Beth Greenberg:

1) Where are you from and do you live in/near Montclair now?

Yes we both live in West Orange and frequent Montclair daily. As a matter of fact we both grew up in the tri-state area and feel lucky to call Essex County our home.  We chose Yoga Montclair as our Montclair "home" and first retail partner and are so pleased to be a part of their Yoga community. We look forward to having a long partnership with such a successful and welcoming studio. We are proud of the support and positive reception our products have garnered at Yoga Montclair and in the Montclair community as a whole.

2) What got you interested in aromatics?

We have been amazed and affected by the restorative powers of Aromatherapy for as long as we can remember. We founded this company almost two years ago with the mission to help people restore balance to their lives and experience beauty and vitality. Alana has spent the last 20 years studying and traveling the globe seeking out alternative healing modalities, and considers Aromatherapy and Ayurveda the crown jewels of her healing repertoire. I came to the world of aroma through my love of cuisine. During my 15 years in corporate America, most recently at Gourmet Magazine, I fine tuned both my palate and my "nose" and cultivated my interest in health and wellness. Alana and I joined together to create luxurious Aromatherapy products and to share the healing force inherent in nature. We are inspired on a daily basis by the beauty and health-enhancing properties of the ingredients we use and are excited to offer our organic products to the community of Montclair and beyond.

3) Why is your product different from others?

Many factors differentiate us from other Aromatherapy products.

• All of our products are inspired by Ayurveda and are formulated in accordance with its healing principles in mind.
• We use only organic, sustainable ingredients sourced from eco-conscious farmers. We never use synthetics, chemicals or inorganic preservatives.
• We hand-blend all of our products in small batches and oversee all aspects of production.
