ABOUT THE CONSULTATION
Q: What is the difference between clinical aromatherapy and regular aromatherapy?
Regular aromatherapy uses essential oils for general relaxation and wellbeing — typically in massage or diffuser form, following standard blends for common concerns.
Clinical aromatherapy is evidence-based practice grounded in anatomy, physiology, essential oil chemistry, and therapeutic application. A clinical aromatherapist assesses your specific skin condition, health history, midlife signs and symptoms, and lifestyle before formulating — not selecting from a catalogue or following a generic recipe.
At KaraGlow, every formulation is created from scratch with clinical purpose. Your cleanser has different ingredients than someone else’s cleanser. Your stress blend is formulated around your specific stress — not a general calming formula.
Q: Is the consultation in person or online?
Both options are available.
In-person consultations are conducted in Singapore. Online consultations are conducted via video call and are equally comprehensive. Your bespoke products are then formulated and shipped to you within Singapore.
If you are unsure which format suits you, WhatsApp Kara at +65 9889 3503 before booking.
Q: What if I am not sure whether my main concern is skin, stress or sleep?
Most clients come with all three – because in midlife they are deeply connected. Your consultation covers all three areas regardless of where you start. Kara will help you identify what to address first and how to build from there.
Q: Is clinical aromatherapy safe?
Yes — when conducted by a qualified practitioner. Kara’s clinical training — NAHA Level 3, IFPA and FFAMD Level 1 — specifically covers the safe therapeutic application of essential oils including contraindications, dilution protocols and ingredient interactions. Every KaraGlow formulation is created with your full health history in mind.
If you are pregnant, on medication, or managing a health condition, please note this in your consultation form. Kara will formulate accordingly.
Q: Can I book a consultation if I am not in midlife yet?
Absolutely. While KaraGlow specialises in midlife women, clinical aromatherapy consultations are beneficial at any life stage. Sensitive skin, stress and sleep concerns are not exclusive to midlife – the approach is simply tailored to wherever you are.
ABOUT YOUR BESPOKE PRODUCTS
Q: How long does it take to receive my bespoke products?
Your bespoke formulations are created after your consultation, freshly made for you. Products are typically ready within 5 to 7 working days. Kara will confirm the exact timeline at your consultation, as it depends on the complexity of your formulation.
For Singapore delivery, products are shipped once complete. Kara will notify you when your order is on its way.
Q: How long do bespoke products last?
Most bespoke formulations have a shelf life of 3 to 6 months from the date of formulation. Kara will advise the specific timeline for each product at your consultation.
To extend shelf life: store your products away from direct sunlight and heat, keep lids and caps sealed when not in use, and avoid introducing water into the bottle. Roll-ons and inhalers are particularly stable in Singapore’s climate when stored appropriately.
Q: What if my skin reacts to my bespoke blend?
Kara provides ongoing support after every consultation. If your skin responds unexpectedly, contact Kara directly. She will assess and reformulate as needed at no additional charge. This is the benefit of working with a clinical practitioner rather than purchasing a product.
Q: What if I want to reorder my bespoke blend?
Reorders are straightforward. Simply contact Kara via WhatsApp (+65 9889 3503) with your name and blend details – Kara keeps a record of every formulation. If your skin, stress, or sleep has changed significantly since your original consultation, Kara will advise whether a brief reassessment is needed before reformulating. This ensures your blend continues to work for where you are now — not where you were.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Q: Can I book if I am pregnant or on medication?
Yes — but please inform Kara in advance or in your consultation form.
Some essential oils are contraindicated during pregnancy or interact with specific medications. Kara’s clinical training specifically covers these contraindications and will ensure your formulation is safe for your situation.
Many clients consult while on medication. Transparency about your health is not a barrier to booking — it is what makes your formulation genuinely safe and effective.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
What’s the difference between an inhaler and a roll-on?
They deliver the same therapeutic essential oils in two different ways, for two different purposes.
The inhaler works through your sense of smell. Inhaled essential oils reach the limbic system – the part of the brain that governs emotion, stress and memory – within seconds. It’s immediate, discreet and portable. Ideal for a stressful meeting, a sleepless night, or any moment you need relief fast.
The roll-on works through skin absorption and pulse points. Applied to the wrists, temples or directly on the affected area, it provides slower, more sustained therapeutic support. Better for ongoing daily support or targeted physical concerns.
Can I use both together?
Yes — and many KaraGlow customers do. The inhaler for fast relief in the moment, the roll-on as part of your morning or evening routine. They complement each other rather than duplicate.
Which should I start with?
If you’re new to KaraGlow, the inhaler is a lower-commitment way to experience the formulation before adding the roll-on. If you already know the blend works for you, the roll-on gives you longer-lasting support throughout the day.
