Let yourself breathe.

gestures is an invitation to reconnect with yourself and with nature.

about

Hi, my name is Holley, and I am a certified aromatherapist and the founder of gestures.

Growing up attending a Waldorf school and with a mother who is a flower essence practitioner, I was exposed to alternative medicine and holistic approaches to healing at an early age. However, it wasn’t until living in New York City that I began to return to these practices and reconnect with nature through the lens of aromatherapy.

In a fast-paced, digitally saturated world, I created gestures as a way to slow down and reconnect—both with myself and the natural world—through the language and aromatic power of plants. What began as a personal practice became a deeper commitment to presence, patience, and intentional process.

The word “gesture” implies movement and expression. By harnessing the aromatic power of plants, essential oils provide a fragrant pathway back into ourselves. As we tune into our inner landscapes, we can better tune into the present moment, one another, and all that surrounds us. Gestures’ essential oil-based products help bridge this transition.

Gestures is committed to thoughtful, sustainable practices across our packaging and supply chain. We prioritize responsibly sourced, organic, and fair-trade ingredients whenever possible, and choose materials that minimize environmental impact. Our packaging is designed with recyclability and reuse in mind, supporting a more conscious approach to production and consumption.
