INSPIRATION

As Jodi began her career in destination spa she had the opportunity to develop the art of luxury by creating an environment that delivers guests complete submersion of escape & tranquility.  Having this mindfulness it brought awareness of how even the most subtle motion can alter guest experience.  Wanting to develop more of a relationship with clients, Jodi then transitioned to local spas that had more of a clinical environment.

Naturally Jodi has come across many different skincare products & brands throughout her career.  Unfortunately, she discovered many companies formulate their products with ingredients that have potential to be harmful to our bodies, yet marketed as ‘safe’ or beneficial or also the use of suggestive marketing strategies to have the consumer assume a product is formulated with ingredients that are clean, organic, natural, etc.  With this revelation, it really inspired Jodi to take time to study ingredients in depth & learn the importance of ingredient sourcing & composition so that she has the ability to mentor her clients on navigating choosing the best products for themselves.

PHILOSOPHY

Ohmbiance came about with the understanding that in order for anyone to achieve their most beautiful self... mind, body & spirit must all be in harmony.  Every aspect of our existence is connected.  Which influences our state of being, wellness & eventually our skin.  Whether it's ingredients in our products or food, air & water quality, fabrics we drape our bodies/fill our home with or even people we surround ourselves with, emotions we suppress or foster...
