Meet Luíza
Aromatherapist
Luíza's journey into incense-making began with a lifelong love of making things by hand. As she grew older, her interest in the aromas of different cultures deepened. When she discovered that many commercial incenses contained harmful chemicals, she decided to make her own, focusing on natural, safe alternatives. This decision marked the beginning of her career as an artisan.
In her workshops, Luíza introduces participants to the ancient practices of incense-making and explains its historical and cultural significance. The sessions offer a sensory experience where participants can touch, smell and choose from different herbs, resins and woods. Luíza will also share the benefits and properties of these natural materials, helping participants to choose the ingredients that suit their preferences.
This experience is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning the basics of incense making in a supportive environment.

I loved doing this workshop, I had a great time experiencing different smells, creating my own scent for my incenses with the help of Luiza which was the top notch of this experience. I chose not to use the gloves to really feel all the matériels we were using and I loved it! She’s extremely gentle, funny, shows and shares her incredible background, details and knowledge about the incenses. And she has a lot of patience when I wasn’t getting it right she helped a lot! I definitely recommend it! 😍

I recently attended a workshop on making natural incense, and it was absolutely incredible. From the moment I walked in, I felt immersed in the calming atmosphere created by the natural scents filling the room! Luiza was very passionate and you could feel it. I left not only with my own handmade incense but also a deeper understanding and appreciation for this ancient art, it felt very therapeutic as well. Highly recommend for anyone interested in natural wellness or simply looking for a unique and enriching experience!

I have already experienced two workshops with Luiza. She is truly amazing with bringing people together even if we start the event as complete strangers. At the same time, as fragrance lover, I have really enjoyed the possibilty of smelling raw materials that I wouldn't normally smell. Then of course making incense and burning them at home. If you are looking for something creative yet unique - I 100% recommend these workshops 💕

The workshop was a great experience to learn about how incenses are made, and we could practice doing our own creations under Luiza's guidance. It was amazing to discover that incenses can be natural and how the scents can influence our wellbeing. Luiza is an amazing teacher and the whole experience was really worth it!
