About Scentarium

Aromatherapy should be simple, safe, and effective — for everyone. That conviction is why Scentarium exists. Working as clinical aromatherapists, we kept running into the same gap: nowhere did reliable, science-backed knowledge come together in one place, accessible to newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike. Scentarium closes that gap, and adds the tools and the community to explore essential oils with confidence.

Eliane Zimmermann

As she only realized as an adult, she was already a "nose animal" as a child: The aftershave scent of her frequently absent father could comfort her. Several generations of her ancestors in Lusatia in eastern Germany were gardeners. In the late eighties, she completed training as a natural health practitioner in Mainz, alongside training in NLP (Neurolinguistics) and aromatherapy, and has been conducting aromatherapy trainings since 1992.

In 2000, she relocated to Southwest Ireland, where she tends to and maintains a large property with fragrant and medicinal plants. She is also fascinated by scientific studies, which enrich her numerous books on the subject. Since 2008, she has been regularly writing the first German-language blog about aromatherapy www.aromapraxis.de, she also inspires through the podcast 'Aromatherapy for the Ears', and she is co-founder of the aroma MAMA project: Since late 2016, interested newcomers who care for children can find ideas on how to responsibly care for little ones with everyday ailments and minor infections.

Sibylle Broggi-Läubli

The many hours spent in her grandmother's ("Grösi's") large herb garden, the connection to nature, and her parents' passion for cooking have left their (fragrant) traces. When she moved to England as a newlywed in 1989, she had her first formative experiences with essential oils - three years after purchasing her first bottle of essential oil - and was enchanted. The oils also accompanied her during an extended stay in Lima, Peru, where she founded an aromatherapy forum.

Back in her Swiss homeland, her aromatherapy training was followed by various other certifications: phytotherapy, classical massage, lymphatic drainage, fascial massage, hormones, gut health, movement training, and permaculture. After completing her adult education certification, she began teaching in 1994 and started her essential oils company www.florentia.ch in 1995. In 2006, she founded Sela - the School for Integral Health and Aromatherapy www.sela.info, which offers various training and continuing education programs, including an aromatherapy certification accredited by the IFPA (International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists).

She lives with her husband Michel outside of Bern in a over 300-year-old farmhouse with large grounds, where her - now adult - 2 sons and 4 foster children grew up.
