About us
EssLive was created by a Doctor of Pharmacy and an IFA-certified aromatherapist to help women create calmer nights through carefully crafted essential oil rituals.
The story behind EssLive
Hi, I'm Wei. I'm a Doctor of Pharmacy. For years, I worked on the clinical side of medicine, my daily basis was helping patients understand medications, safety, and their health choices. I loved that work. There's a quiet satisfaction in watching someone leave a pharmacy feeling a little lighter than when they walked in.
But I kept noticing the same pattern: many people were searching for better rest, yet they felt stuck between simply pushing through exhaustion and relying on solutions that did not feel right for them.
I began asking a different question: what if creating a calmer night could start with a gentler ritual?
When the prescription became personal
During a difficult period of burnout, I experienced my own struggle with sleep. I understood the frustration of lying awake, very tired, but unable to truly rest. So I did what I was trained to do first: I considered the usual options. But I kept thinking of my own patients, and I wanted to try something gentler before anything else.
One night, out of patience and out of options, I tried lavender essential oil beside my bed. Full honesty: I was skeptical. I was trained to look for scientific evidence, and a bottle of lavender didn't exactly fit that standard. But I was tired enough to try.
It wasn't magic, and it wasn't instant. But over the following weeks, I noticed something shifting. My evenings felt calmer. Falling asleep came a little easier. My bedtime slowly became a moment of slowing down instead of another hour of lying awake.
That experience became the beginning of EssLive. One bottle of lavender and one very humbled pharmacist.
Meeting Lan: science meets aromatherapy
Lan is an IFA-certified aromatherapist with years of hands-on experience creating botanical blends. Where I brought knowledge of safety, formulation, and interactions, Lan brought expertise in essential oils, sourcing, and the art of aromatherapy, and the part of this work that logic can't quite reach.
EssLive was created where these two worlds meet: thoughtful formulation and the calming power of plants.
