About Essential Oils
Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants. The oils capture the plant's scent and flavor, or “essence.” Unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence. Essential oils are obtained through distillation (via steam and/or water) or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing. Essential oils can be used in aromatherapy, a kind of complementary medicine that uses smell to improve your health or applied topically to the skin. Studies have shown that essential oils may help: Boost mood. Improve job performance through reduced stress and increased attentiveness. Essential oils are generally safe when a person uses them correctly. I always dilute essential oils before applying them to the skin with carrier oils, witch hazel, and or distilled water. I craft and curate products to help offer relief to those in need. Let us work together to find what I can offer you to help balance your life through aromatherapy, Skin Care products, and Pain management, or maybe we can get together and create unique gifts.
It should be noted, I am not a doctor. My methods should not be used to cure or treat disease, I only offer my craft to help ease and improve a way of life~
Herbs, Flowers & Plant Power
Mother Earths gift to us all
Herbs
For the inside and out
Herbs are so helpful in the kitchen helping us to craft those special dishes we tend to for our loved ones, but did you know that they also offer so many benefits outside of seasoning your favorite dishes? It's true. Whether it is for the skin, hair, or digestive system or as a healer to tame that inflammation, herbs offer many medicinal properties as well. Together we can craft up a tea blend, a tincture, or put together a lovely bath soak using salts, herbs, flowers, and oils that will make you feel "Balanced"~
Flowers
Not just for the vase on your table
We all agree that flowers look pretty but they can also offer health support. For instance, every part of the Echinacea flower is useful. These beautiful flowers are loaded with plant compounds that function as antioxidants. The Flower portion of the plant is commonly used in teas while the roots hold the most powerful medicine from the plant. The Dandelion, although considered a "weed" is a potent little flower that has many uses. The vibrant yellow flower can be used to make vinegar, oils, honey and so so good in tea. The leaves are a wonderful and delicious addition to a spring celebration salad and the roots hold many medical properties.
Plant Power
Allow yourself to Breathe
Most of us adore watching the life journey of a beautiful house plant. They show that appreciation by giving us so many health benefits in return for our care. They can help improve air quality, reduce stress, improve environmental wellness, offer clean oxygen, and can support cognitive health.

Living Life with Balance
Crafting Classes
Mind, Body & Wellness
When learning to use essential oils & herbs, I was surprised to learn that there is actually a science behind each oil. Where it is derived from, how to use it, when to use it, and specific formulas based on the body of the oil. The same concept goes for plants, herbs, flowers & roots. I will help you understand the foundation of these components through different classes offering you the advantage of crafting products for you and your home. Follow the FB page for Balanced by the Moon to keep up with the most up-to-date classes that will be offered in the shop! Or contact me directly if you would like to do something special within your home.

Client Testimonials
The stuff that feeds the soul~
Let me start by saying this isn't just some hippy-dippy company, trying to sell you copious amounts of low-level products.
This is a small business owned and
operated by a lovely green witch, who just wants to help people feel their best selves.
I have used several Balanced by the Moon products for a few years now, and I can attest to their validity.
The Turn Back Time face serum has been so soothing and replenishing on my ance and rosacea. My face used to be red and so sensitive. It was sometimes painful and a little embarrassing.
Sleeping 3 or 4 hours a night was a luxury I rarely experienced. I was very skeptical when I was introduced to the Sweet Sleep
spray, as I have tried numerous natural remedies to no avail. Imagine how shocked I was when I woke up after sunrise the first night I used it. AFTER THE SUNRISE.
I could go on and on about the products I've tried and now find I prefer, not to do without.
A mosquito spray that won't make you feel the need to shower after using. A cozy room spray made with cloves that will bring you instant comfort. A winter skin protectant for hands that look as old as Dumbledores.
I appreciate the option to have products customized. The ease of communicating my coconut allergy to the owner reassured me that the items I bought would be safe for my use.
I can't speak highly enough about the wonderful owner and the beneficial products she creates. I'm honored to support this small business and looking forward to experiencing all the items available.
Lana Sehl :
Balanced By the Moon, while a new storefront, is very near and dear to my heart. Others will talk about the products, which of course are all crafted with care personally by CJ and her family, but I’m going to talk about the people so you’ll understand what’s behind their products. I know the owners through teaching their youngest son - I now have him years later…again! I have seen them teach their children how to garden, how to nurture, and how to take care of yourself first, before you can take care of others (a close second of course). I watched as they used covid as an opportunity to teach their son in new and different ways - helping him hone a craft (did you know he’s responsible for their tea line - Little LaQue’s Teas?).
In a really chaotic world, we get consumed by the “noise.” We buy things that come in plastic because it’s convenient and we buy things that are cheaper for the same reasons. CJ and her family have opened this store to truly help the consumer find balance in their lives and feel good about nurturing themselves with products responsibly sourced (because they plant, nurture and harvest most - if not all - of their ingredients).
They are the absolute kindest, most genuine people you will ever meet and have parented humans who are responsible citizens of our planet. My son and I use their products and are sleeping better, have hands that aren’t cracked in the winter and I do feel it’s because CJ has a very real understanding and wealth of knowledge about her ingredients. She will go out of her way to be sure you have the product you need and she cares wholeheartedly about your well-being - even if she’s just met you.
I had the chance to be at their grand opening last week and the boutique is a serene place that wraps its arms around you with the aromas, the warmth, the aesthetics and the people. I was through shopping and really didn’t want to leave. I’ll be back to the salon soon and I can’t wait! Please come see CJ even if you’re not sold. It’s a great place for gifts and I’m sure you’ll find new friends there too! There are quite literally no better people you will ever meet.

Walking in the store
I was greeted with a big smile. The store is a haven of tranquility. I can’t wait to go back with my wife. Everything is reasonably priced and well stocked.
Thank you CJ for an excellent shopping experience.
