Our Story
Everyone Deserves A Good Night's Rest
Sleep shouldn’t be a luxury, it’s a necessity. Yet for so many of us, it’s a constant struggle. Continuous poor sleep is like a falling domino - triggering mental fog, draining our energy, and clouding our ability to think and feel clearly. It robs us of our ability to truly thrive and be fully present in our daily lives.
Left unchecked, lack of sleep can seriously impact our mental health and overall well-being.
That’s why each Oetori product is intentionally crafted with pure botanical essential oils and free from added fragrances to preserve the natural therapeutic benefits of every botanical element. Designed to quiet the mind and relax the body, our products help prepare you for a restful, restorative sleep.
Recharge at night to be fully present tomorrow.
Founder’s Story
I never knew how important sleep was - until I lost it. My struggle with chronic insomnia began during a period of deep emotional distress. On good nights, I could manage 2-3 hours of sleep a night. At its worst, I couldn't sleep at all. I’d lie in bed around 9:30pm and just. couldn’t. fall. asleep. All night. That period completely transformed my life into this exhausting foggy blur, worsened by daily migraines from sleep deprivation.
Each night became a battle against my own mind. I tried everything to quiet my mental chatter, but as my exhaustion deepened, so did my anxiety. I’d lie there, silently pleading, "Why can’t I just go to sleep? I’m so tired… all I want is rest." It felt like a complete disconnect between what my body desperately wanted and what it could do.
I eventually developed a fear of bedtime itself. By 8 p.m., I’d feel a wave of pressure and tightness take over, the anxiety setting in before I even hit the pillow, knowing the restless struggle awaiting me.
Over time I could no longer retain even the simplest information, and my ability to drive safely was taken away too. I became resentful of how my sleep disorder was disrupting my daily life, terrified of the long-term health consequences from constant sleep deprivation.
My neurologist explained to me, “Chronic sleep deprivation makes us more vulnerable to stress, and stress actually makes it harder to sleep”. I was trapped in a vicious cycle.
In my desperate search for a solution that didn’t involve sleeping pills, I stumbled upon aromatherapy. I discovered how specific plant extracts could calm my anxiety, ease my stress, and most importantly - support restful sleep. These natural plant aromas became my lifeline, helping me rebuild a healthy sleep pattern and regain control over my nights and days. To this day, I still rely on aromatherapy to prepare my body and mind for sleep, whether at home or traveling.
My relationship with sleep has changed completely. I now protect it fiercely, unapologetically maintaining a bedtime routine that works for me. Aromatherapy played such a pivotal role in my recovery that I became deeply passionate about studying its holistic benefits and sharing them with others.
This is why I created Oetori - so that you don't have to keep struggling on your own. I'm sharing the same calming botanical blends and nightly ritual that truly helped my body to relax and sleep again so you too, can finally enjoy uninterrupted rest your body and mind deserves.
