About Marilyn Swallow



Registered Aromatherapist / Essential Oil Therapist

Certified Permaculture Designer


I am both a Registered Aromatherapist / Essential Oil Therapist 

and a Certified Permaculture Designer 

You may have known me as a Massage Therapist; however, I have recently retired that part of my practise and am currently focused upon offering my services as a Permaculture Designer and as an Aromatherapist.  I worked as an RMT for 31 years and though no longer a Registered Massage Therapist, I continue to carry the ethics, code of conduct, respect and care of a Medical Professional with me in all that I do.

Aromatherapy Background:

In June 2011, I received a diploma in Aromatherapy and was eager to set up a practice again, hence the blossoming of Wildflower with my good friend and Master Herbalist Gillian Leverkus. Gillian has since moved to Fort Nelson, BC.

In 2013, I pursued an education in Fitness Knowledge. This has brought about my own increased fitness and an idea to expand my business to help others in this arena. I no longer provide Elder fit Classes.

My lifelong love for learning about growing and wildcrafting herbs and forest plants inevitably led me to medicine making.

I now offer small batch local products for body and soul.

Permaculture Background:

After participating in front line ecoactivism with Extinction Rebellion (https://rebellion.global), I became interested in the "Regenerative Culture Aspect" of this global movement.  In 2023, I began my education with the Permaculture Education Institute under Morag Gamble (https://permacultureeducationinstitute.org/) receiving my Permaculture Design Certificate.  I am currently working on a second certificate in the Permaculture Educator Program.

Regenerative culture answers the questions:

Personal practices in art, spirituality, self-help, shamanism, and yoga round out the skills I have developed and will be sharing in workshops and community projects.
