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.
We had the chance to work with Luiza for our team building activity. The workshop was well-organized, with a cozy atmosphere that felt both welcoming and calming. We were encouraged to experiment with a variety of botanicals, resins, herbs, and essential oils. Luiza also explained the properties of each ingredient, which made it easy for us to create personalized blends. We left with a set of our own handmade incense, along with a newfound respect for this ancient art form.
The workshop was a perfect balance of education, creativity, and relaxation. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in natural home remedies, creativity, team building, or simply looking to try something new. Luiza’s warmth and expertise made the whole experience unforgettable!

Attending the workshop was an incredible experience. The immersion into the of making incense was both educational and magical. Learning about the history and tradition of this art was fascinating. My main goal was not to start producing my own products, but to educate myself to better understand and purchase quality incense. I left the workshop with a batch of cone and stick incenses, along with good moments to remember. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an enriching and relaxing activity!
