Dame Eve Taylor started her career in the beauty industry as a beauty therapist and quickly became fascinated by the ancient practice of Aromatherapy. Eve became an expert in her craft and developed her own range of pre-blended aromatherapy oils along with specific treatment methods and techniques.
These techniques have since been adopted by many as the original industry standard for professional aromatherapy and are now taught extensively throughout the world. Her original aromatherapy blends still provide both professional therapists and their clients with outstanding results.
Eve founded the Eve Taylor business in London in 1963 and still works in the business to this day along with her sons. She is an inspiration to us all.
