About Us

 

I'm Kim. My venture into aromatherapy started as a stressed-beyond-belief social worker in Oakland, CA.  Looking for an alternative to readily-available coping methods like Valium or whiskey, I decided to try aromatherapy. Several college classes later, including a bitter struggle with organic chemistry, I started making what I thought at the time were the greatest blends of all-time!

The real challenge? Convincing my friends, co-workers, and family about the qualities of sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, & aldehydes. Apparently, not everyone loves polysyllabic words as much as I do?  So, I started giving my blends ridiculous, more relatable names....and then finally everyone was more interested!

My partner Nick and I started off doing craft fairs in 2012 and never looked back!  In 2013 we opened a retail store in downtown San Francisco. Then, in 2020, came the pandemic, and like everyone else, we had to adapt. We packed up our city life and moved Frankie & Myrrh to the heartland of Northwest Ohio. Think Green Acres, but with more essential oils and fewer pitchforks. It was a big change, and we absolutely love it. “Midwest Nice” is real, folks!!  

A lot has changed since 2012 but most things are still the same. My mom still loves crafting giveaways for our customers. We still have the same original logo that Nick refuses to update because "it's a classic."  And most importantly, we are still incredibly grateful and honored to have this opportunity to bring our customers good vibes & good smells!

 

Let's meet the managers!

Liv began working here when Frankie moved East from California to Ohio. She’s been here a little over FOUR years! Working through the pandemic at F&M, she obtained her Batchelor’s degree in Business Management at Bowling Green State University. Born and raised here in Northwest Ohio, Liv loves spending her free time with her loved ones and her gigantic pup!

Introducing Steph, the MVP from Texas, who mastered the art of Small Business Management at Northwest Vista College, then beefed up her credentials with a Business Degree from Texas A&M San Antonio. Nowadays, she navigates the frosty landscapes of Northwest Ohio, supplying Frankie's best-loved scents to our favorite peeps. Steph loves spending time with her family, loving on her animals, and telling us how awesome Texas is.
