Exploring Aromatherapy and Essential Oils
Christine is our Mountain Rose Herbs Product Manager and Certified Aromatherapist. A longtime team member with over a decade at MRH under her belt, Christine oversees the quality and approval of the essential oils and hydrosols that Mountain Rose Herbs offers. She manages and knows the intimate details of all our current products (no small task with over 3,000 offerings!), and she also researches and selects new and exciting herbal goodies to keep our customers inspired. Born and raised in the Midwest, Christine has considered Oregon a home since 2000. When away from the office, she enjoys gardening, running around with her energetic little one, canning and food preservation, homebrewing beer and wine, and spending time outdoors.
Rising Appalachia was founded by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith of Atlanta, Georgia. The sisters work with an array of international musicians and they incorporate a variety of sounds inspired by their world travels merged with the music influences of their own southern roots. Although Leah and Chloe consider their voices as their primary instrument, Leah also plays banjo and bodhran on their newest album Leylines, while Chloe plays guitar, fiddle, and banjo.
