Hi! Welcome to aromaRosary! I’m Chantal, the owner and creator of all that you see here.
I’m so delighted that you’ve stopped by.
A few years ago, Immaculée Ilibagiza spoke to my heart as she shared her story of suffering and triumph through the power of the Rosary with more than 30,000 individuals. It just so happened that she was the keynote speaker at a large global essential oil summit I was attending. As she shared, I marveled at her passion and her unhindered dedication to sharing the Rosary with the world. In that moment, two of my greatest loves in life were colliding before my eyes. The Rosary and essential oils.
As I drove across the country, I reflected on my personal visit with Immaculée, her powerful gesture of throwing her Rosary to someone in the crowd, and all I had just witnessed. My heart overflowed with inspiration and with a desire to bring to our hurting world the solace and rich blessings of the Rosary, supported by beauty, aroma, and intentional prayer. From that moment, this work was born.
Our mission is to create beautiful, handcrafted Rosaries that help cultivate an atmosphere of prayer. aromaRosary exists to support the prayer of the Rosary by engaging the senses in a reverent and incarnational way. Aroma has long held a place in Scripture and worship as a means of remembrance, offering, and devotion. When paired with prayer, scent can gently assist focus, deepen meditation, and help the mysteries of the Rosary linger in both heart and memory.
We seek to help families enter more fully into the prayer of the Rosary by slowing down, becoming present, and allowing prayer to be experienced not only with the mind, but with the whole person. Over time, aroma becomes associated with prayer itself, helping individuals return more readily to recollection and contemplation throughout the day.
With full respect and honor for Our Blessed Mother, we faithfully continue the work of introducing and reintroducing the world to her maternal love and her psalter of roses. The Rosary is a prayer for all people, and the tangible beauty and gentle aroma of these Rosaries can help anyone focus more deeply, remember the mysteries more vividly, and be inspired toward virtuous and faithful living.
While essential oils are often presented today in secular or New Age contexts, it is my desire to remain orthodox in the presentation of the Catholic faith and in the way aroma is used within prayer. aromaRosary is not about remedies or treatments. It is about creating sacred space for prayer, devotion, and encounter with Christ through Mary.
In addition to our aromaRosaries, we offer online education, workshops, and written resources exploring the biblical and historical roots of aroma and the Rosary. We also offer Rosary meditations and media meant to enhance prayer, as well as inspirational speaking on topics of faith, family, prayer, the saints, and Our Blessed Mother.
We seek to help others develop a deeper love for prayer and the Rosary and to extend the prayer experience for families who desire to enter more fully into its mysteries and live the virtues it represents.
I’m so excited to walk with you on your journey of prayer. Please reach out and share your experience with us. We hope to work together in sharing this mission around the globe.
So welcome. And I hope you’ll hang out with us on Instagram and Facebook at @aromaRosary.
