Aromatics & Massage LLC
for body, mind, & spirit
Aromatics & Massage LLC is a small business located in sunny Boulder, Colorado. The focus of this business is
essential oils (aromatherapy) and integrative massage. Nancy Cebula, owner, is a certified massage therapist who
holds a Masters Degree in Organization Management. Aromatics & Massage has relationships with many other body
workers and healers, including reflexologists, acupuncturists, nutritionists, and sports and specialized massage
therapists (such as deep tissue/pain and injury experts). This allows Ms. Cebula to make referrals so that clients get
the treatment that is best for them.
In addition to extensive training in aromatherapy, Nancy is trained in integrative massage, specific injury treatment,
table shiatsu, comfort touch, hot stones massage, pre-natal massage, and modified strain/counterstrain. Professional
development is important to Ms. Cebula. She is continually learning and improving her skills in the areas of massage
and aromatherapy. She just returned from a week long intensive training program on “The Art of Phenomenal Touch”
and is now incorporating this into her work.
Nancy has been working as a change agent since the 1970's, from early work as a juvenile probation officer to large
systems work as an organization development consultant and now individual work as a massage therapist. She is a
co-author of the book Futures that Work: Using the Search Conference to Revitalize Companies, Communities, and
Organizations. She is a contributing author in the book People in Charge: Creating Self Managing Workplaces (Robert Rehm, Hawthorn Press, 1999). She is currently writing articles on essential oils and massage. Look for
publication soon!
Giving back to the community is another important part of Nancy’s life. She is the Past-President of the Colorado
Business and Professional Women’s Education Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to help women
attain self-sufficiency through education. She also serves on the board of Equi-Rhythms, a non-profit working with
at-risk adolescents and horses and is a Project Leader with Aspen Leaf Riders 4H Club. Every month, she donates
about 5% of her pre-tax earnings to the Co BPW Education Foundation for a scholarship she created in memory of
her son-in-law, SFC Daniel Aaron Romero, who was killed in action while serving in the Special Forces in Afghanistan.

Nancy's Philosophy
Essential oils are the cornerstone of a wellness-enhancing practice. Humans have used the fragrant plant-based oils
for many centuries, as perfume, as medicine, and to prevent illness and disease. When archeologists opened up King
Tutankhamon’s tomb in Egypt, they found alabaster jars full of well-preserved essential oils. In the succeeding
centuries, the use of essential oils has been lost and re-discovered many times. Now, as we are in the early part of
the 21st Century, there is an increased interest in how we can use essential oils to enhance our wellness, purely and
simply.
Even though people have been using essential oils to enhance their wellness for centuries now, I only discovered them
several years ago and have been using them enthusiastically ever since. In fact, my interest in the oils led me to
massage school. I now have a wonderful massage practice, human and equine, based on these healing plant oils and
floral waters.
I only use essential oils and floral waters from therapeutic grade organically grown or wild-crafted plants. If one wants
to experience more than just the scents, which are lovely, finding good quality oils is essential, so to speak! Once one
discovers the intense aromas and deep healing qualities of therapeutic grade essential oils, one will never go back to
the store and buy the inexpensive oils found there! Even the horses I work with can tell the difference between high
quality and lesser quality oils!
I created this website to share my enthusiasm and knowledge about these wonderful, aromatic oils.
