My name is Wendie MacQuarrie.
I have always been a lover of nature and the plant kingdom. As a child I loved being outdoors; exploring a forest, walking the beach, swimming in the lake or hiking a mountain. This love stayed with me and in 1981 I received my Bachelor of Science, concentration in Botany. I always had both vegetable and flower gardens but it wasn’t until the early 90’s that I started dabbling in the apothecary arts. I decided to obtain my Clinical Aromatherapy designation and established my company Ascensa Energy Essences. My particular gift is the ability to feel the energies of the plant kingdom and design custom synergies. As a yoga and meditation practitioner, Reiki practitioner, and Crystal enthusiast, I meld all these modalities together to create products to assist my clients achieve balanced health for both mind and body.
