Hi, I'm Rachel!

Hi there! I'm Rachel - the wife, momma, and big dreamer behind Balanced Home Apothecary.

Having sensitive skin since birth made me naturally curious about the ingredients found in everyday products. Early on, I noticed that many mainstream options didn’t align with my desire for simpler, more gentle alternatives.

That’s where my journey toward more natural living began. Over the years, I developed a love for thoughtfully chosen ingredients and having simple, natural tools to support our family’s daily routines.

In 2020, I left my job to stay home with our children — something I had always dreamed of. But being a bit of a social butterfly and a lifelong dreamer, it didn’t take long before the desire to share my passion with others began to bubble over.

With the birth of our children, I found myself frequently researching essential oil blends and wishing for a one-stop shop. I saw a need to eliminate the research and burden of having to buy 10 oils for one blend and create ready-to-use essential oil products. Hence, Balanced Home Apothecary was born!

I lovingly call myself "oil bestie," as it is my passion to educate and equip, and take the fear out of switching to natural alternatives. I aim to create a unique and less intimidating approach to use and understand the power natural ingredients can bring to your life.

It is truly an honor to have you here. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out via our contact form!

Thank you for stopping by Balanced Home Apothecary, for shopping small, and getting to know us a little more!

Warmly,
Rachel Urton
