About Symbiosis

Symbiosis began as a whisper in the background of daily life—a collection of quiet moments that linger long after the day was done.  A patch of morning sunlight, a drawer full of keepsakes, the scent that signaled comfort or change.  With each detail, the idea became clearer: our homes are not silent containers for living, but active partners in the way we feel, change, and grow.

At Symbiosis, we see home as a living presence, not mere shelter.  It listens.  It remembers. Sometimes, it even answers back.  How we move through our space—where we rest, how we gather, what fills the air—shapes the weather inside us.  A well-loved chair, a patch of floor warmed by the sun, the faint trace of lavender in the evening—they carry stories, and they hold us in return.

Our work draws from the wisdom of Gaston Bachelard, who reminds us that a home is measured not in square feet, but in dreams and reverie; in corners where the imagination comes alive, or drawers where memory finds safe-keeping.

We’re inspired by Maslow’s understanding of human needs but see them not as a ladder to climb, one step at a time, but as qualities to nurture all at once.  Safety, rest, play, connection, and creation—they mingle and overlap, surfacing together in ordinary moments.  Our six functional aspects—storage, restoration, kinship, intimacy, productivity, stimulation—live side by side and blend as your days move and moods shift.

We offer tools for noticing.  Each essential oil and every blend is selected not to ‘fix’ you, but to accompany you—to mark a moment, create space for clarity, and lend a little grace to the ordinary rhythms of your day.  Our Moodboard Gallery lets you see and feel a scent’s emotional tone before it ever enters your home.

Central to Symbiosis are The Six Functional Aspects of Home. These are not strict categories, but invitations.  Your kitchen might hum with the energy of kinship one evening, and hold a quiet intimacy for a solitary cup of tea the next morning.  Spaces shift and so do you—and it should be so. We create our synergy blends to support these transitions, recognizing that your needs will always be in motion.

We do not offer decorating advice or overhaul interiors.  Instead, we invite you to design for feeling—the subtle yet powerful climate that shapes your sense of belonging.  We believe in rooms that breathe, in daily practices that restore, in corners where you can meet yourself anew.

Symbiosis is for those who know, deep down, that a home remembers.  For those who trust that scent, light, and texture can change the way a day unfolds.  For people who wish to shape their atmosphere with presence and intention.  Ours is a gentle invitation—move slowly, explore quietly, choose what speaks to you.

I trained as an interior designer and as an aromatherapist, but mostly, I am a student of how meaning moves in a home—and how a home moves us.  After years of listening to how people feel in their spaces—in the arrangement of a room, the objects they keep, the scents that weave through their days—I realized that a home is not a backdrop for life, but an active companion.  What if the way you arrange your shelves, place a favourite object, or choose a scent is not just about aesthetics, but is an act of care for both space and self?

When your inner and outer worlds are attuned, emotions move more freely.  Lightness returns.  And your home feels a little less like a structure and a little more like a living extension of you.

Symbiosis is scent for emotional alignment.  Design for feeling, not only for looking.  An ongoing conversation that begins with a simple question: How does your home hold you, today?
