Aslı San Bilgin is a professional aromatherapist, educator, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the study and clinical application of essential oils, medicinal plants, and holistic wellbeing practices.

She has dedicated the past two decades to in-depth research on essential oils—often described as the biochemical and energetic essence of plants—and their role in integrative and preventative health approaches. In 2012, she founded Homemade Aromaterapi with the aim of translating the traditional and historical foundations of aromatherapy into contemporary daily practice through evidence-informed, ethical, and sustainable methodologies.

Homemade Aromaterapi has been actively operating for over 13 years, with four retail locations in Istanbul and one in İzmir, and conducts all production in its own GMP-certified laboratory. All products are developed and manufactured with a strong commitment to quality, safety, and traditional aromatherapy principles.

In parallel, she established the Homemade Aromaterapi Academy, delivering structured, professional-level educational programmes in aromatherapy and holistic wellness. The Academy operates with a permanent team of instructors and provides training for practitioners as well as individuals seeking in-depth, science-informed aromatherapy education.

Aslı San Bilgin is also a Certified Clinical Master Aromatherapist and a Certified Professional Educator with the NAHA (National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy), having completed advanced aromatherapy and phytotherapy training at the Jean Pierre Institute – Paris (2004) and holding a Clinical Master Aromatherapist certification from the International Certified Aromatherapy Institute (2013), and continues to contribute to the field by bridging ancestral plant knowledge with contemporary scientific understanding.
