✨ Essential Starr Transitions to Lavender Hill Botanicals

Continuing the Legacy of Light, Love, and Botanical Beauty

Dear Friends and Valued Customers of Essential Starr,

We are delighted to share some exciting news! Effective October 21, 2025, the Essential Starr product line — including our beloved blends and essential oils — is joining forces with Lavender Hill Botanicals, part of Windy Hill Farms, owned by the wonderful Chris and Katie Miller family in the beautiful Amish countryside of Pennsylvania.

After 30 years of creating, formulating, teaching, and sharing the gifts of nature through Essential Starr, it brings me great joy to see these products continue to blossom in such loving and capable hands. When I met Katie earlier this year and visited her stunning 80-acre lavender farm, I was immediately touched by her passion, her craftsmanship, and her beautifully curated farm shop filled with lavender treasures.

As we spoke, it became clear that our visions were aligned — to share the healing power and joy of essential oils with integrity, purity, and heart. Together, we saw how Lavender Hill Botanicals could expand to include many of the signature blends you've come to love from Essential Starr, alongside Katie's exquisite lavender creations.

This transition feels perfectly timed — arriving with the season of harvest and light, coinciding with Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights. It's a beautiful symbol of illumination and new beginnings, which has always been at the heart of my work with essential oils.

Please know that I'm not going away. I will continue to collaborate with Katie during this transition, ensuring that our formulas maintain their quality, integrity, and energetic signature. I will also remain available for essential oil consultations and guidance, continuing to share my 30+ years of aromatic and herbal experience.

The Essential Starr 5ml essential oils will still carry the familiar label, while the blended products will now appear under Lavender Hill Botanicals — the perfect evolution of our shared vision for natural beauty and holistic wellness.

Thank you, dear friends, for your years of loyalty, inspiration, and trust. We look forward to seeing you continue your aromatic journey with Lavender Hill Botanicals — where the legacy of Essential Starr will shine on in new light.

With warmth and gratitude,

Patricia Starr, LMT, RA, SET, SCI

Let Freedom Ring! -- The Aromatic Touch

Out of The Sandbox @

   The Fourth of July is just around the corner… Yes – the birth of the United States, based on the freedom of the individual and 44 years ago, the patriots were fighting against the ideologies of the time…   Does this sound familiar?   There are so many polarities in our culture these days… and it seems that everyday, something new comes up to rally against or for…

 

    I created this blend a few years ago, when I was doing the Farmer’s Market.  I was very inspired at the time, as I had the opportunity to share all the various sites in the East Coast where my California children could really get the feel of what was going on at the time.  

 

  The year was 1975, and our country was getting ready for the Bicentennial – 200 years.  We visited Valley Forge, Boston, Jamestown among several other sites, every weekend.  This was such a rich experience, as we got very in touch with the energy and challenges that our ancestors were up against.

    As I reflected on this, I began to pair the fragrances that represented the energies we experienced during this Bicentennial.  These were: courage, confidence, passion, grounded, inspired.

    Now here is the beauty that happens when intention is set with the experience and relationship with the plant and the essential oils that are produced from them.

   As I reviewed the oils, based on my experience with the oils and my intuition after working with the oils for over the last 20 years…  The oils began to show themselves…  The first that appeared was Black Spruce – an energy that realy helps to support us when we feel overwhelm  -- see my blog on this.  The second oil that appeared had Freedom written all over it: Fir Silver – a gorgeous clear speaking uplifting fragrance.  Then the support oils appeared:  Lemon (uplifting), Ylang Ylang (warm, loving – an important energy to keep going), Cistus (opens the third eye for clearer intuitive seeing).  Then two secret supporters:  Blue Tansy (a key energy for Valor) and Tolu Balsam (smoothly grounding).

   Freedom Spirit came together, this blend carries the energy of Freedom, both uplifting and inspiring and helps with overwhelm creating a vibrant powerful self-image.

     I have made this as a spray, but it can also be requested as a roll-on, if you would like, or even a diffusor blend.
