MODERN ALCHEMY
> A visionary in the field of Quantum Alchemy and a
pioneer in vibrational medicine and aromatherapeutic healing, Adora Winquist has more than 20 years of experience supporting others in their emotional, mental, and spiritual journeys. After experiencing personal health challenges in the 1990s, Winquist began to look beyond traditional methods, instead seeking out alternative practices that eventually led her to create her own original formulations that combined aromatherapy with energy healing. The modern alchemist’s line of artisanal biodynamic essential oils and blends is intentionally infused with gem and flower essences with specific vibrational patterns designed for awakening, healing, and quantum shifts in consciousness. Launched in 2021, Winquist’s self-formulated Elixirs 4 Quantum Living (which includes Energy Elixir, Mood Elixir, and Sleep Elixir) is a groundbreaking, fast-absorbing, roll-on trio crafted with nanoparticle essential oil blends and nanoparticle CBD to alleviate the harsh impact of daily stressors while boosting energy, mood, and restful sleep. $44/each or $122/set of 3; adorawinquist.com
