A new approach to well-being

Who we are

We believe the little things add up to a great experience of care, whether you’re recovering or just living your everyday life.

We create aromatherapy-based products for both patients and people who want to improve their daily well-being. We do this by exploring how integrative care and design thinking can work together to make everyday health less stressful, more comfortable and convenient.

Our products

We’ve created a new generation of aromatherapy tools that are personal, portable, protective and leak proof — making it easy to take your essential oils with you wherever you go. Using fully recyclable and BPA-free materials to preserve a proprietary blend of 100% pure essential oil vapors, we advocate inhaled aromatherapy as a safe and easy way to manage your comfort. You can learn more about our formulas and products.

Our story

We started Soothing Scents by trying to answer a question about how we cared for patients: How could we comfort hospital patients during their recovery, without overwhelming them with medications over and above what was necessary.

This led to more questions: What would it take to bridge the gap between integrative and conventional medicine? What would a company that does this look like? How could we rethink nursing interventions to address the current issues facing patients, nurses and facilities?

The answer came to nurse anesthetist Wendy Nichols over 19 years ago, when she started using essential oils as an alternative way to help her patients deal with queasiness after surgery. Through extensive scientific research and discussions with hundreds of medical professionals, a homemade remedy became a standard hospital supply, and finally, a thriving business, which Nichols co-founded with her brother, Roy Nichols.

Today, our signature solution QueaseEASE is used in over 2,500 hospitals, and our TIEO training program has helped dozens of nurses better serve their patients

About aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the known ways to enjoy your essential oils. It involves smelling essential oil vapors through a diffusing mechanism, which can be anything from a room diffuser to the steam of a hot bath. It’s also one of the safest and fastest methods of use. Different essential oils have different properties that can lift your mood and even help your feelings of queasiness, depending on which plant is used. 

At Soothing Scents, we’ve designed a nifty little twist-cap inhaler that allows you to use these oils wherever you go, while ensuring they remain safe and long-lasting.
