  • Judges – Gao Luna

    Luna

    International Aromatherapy Instructor

    Aroma Insight Card Mentor | Women’s Energy Coach

    Origin

    Coming from a background in finance, Luna had a serendipitous encounter that led her to work with a group of special children—hearing and speech-impaired kids. At first, like most people, she felt helpless and even fearful.
    But as she spent more time with them, she discovered that they were actually lovely and pure-hearted children.

    In addition to these students, Luna also came into contact with another special group—children with autism.
    They were different from hearing-impaired students, seemingly living in their own dimensional space.
    Luna noticed that these students struggled to stay focused in class, often engaging in their own world. But when they went out to the playground, they became genuinely happy.

    Luna has always believed that every life comes into this world with a mission and that every life deserves to be seen.
    As of this year, she has been serving in the field of special education for 18 years.

    While exploring ways to help students gain employment and to alleviate autism symptoms, she discovered that behind every autistic child is a family carrying deep emotional burdens—especially the mothers, whose inner world often goes unnoticed and whose emotions are in dire need of healing.
    During this exploration, she read an article stating that some children with autism enjoy observing plants, seemingly having a natural connection to the earth. Luna strongly believes that nature holds powerful healing energy, offering comfort and relief, which led her to begin studying professional aromatherapy.

    The Founding of the Aromatherapy Academy

    In March 2018, Luna decided to travel to Shanghai for systematic aromatherapy training.
    Previously, she was just an enthusiast who casually used essential oils like tea tree oil.
    This learning experience felt like opening the door to a whole new world—the magic and healing power of aromatherapy deeply fascinated her.

    Luna hopes to heal every life through aromatherapy and allow people to rediscover the power of rebirth by connecting with nature, enabling them to blossom into their inherently abundant selves.

    At the end of 2018, Luna joined forces with several outstanding aromatherapists to co-found a new aromatherapy brand—“FangFan Aromatherapy Healing Academy.”
    Her vision is to spread nature’s healing energy. Through essential oils, she helps people understand their inner selves and adjust their emotions.

    Visualizing Emotions through Aroma Insight Cards

    While helping families with autistic children cope with emotional stress, Luna realized that modern people are increasingly affected by overwhelming pressure and emotional distress.
    Yet, there are very few visual tools available to help people recognize their core emotional problems.

    Although aromatherapy can offer a unique sensory experience and relax the body and mind, every scent is abstract—it doesn’t reveal the true emotional causes behind the issues, nor can it reach a large number of people effectively.

    By chance, Luna came across a presentation by Jennifer, the founder of the Essential Oil Insight Cards.
    She discovered that combining essential oils with these cards could help people gain awareness of the root cause of their emotions, make their feelings visible, and offer guidance on how to soothe and resolve emotional issues in the moment.

    Over the years, through practicing with the insight card method, Luna has worked with countless cases and helped over 3,000 individuals overcome health and emotional challenges.
    She has also been invited to share her expertise across major platforms and communities, advocating for the idea of emotional regulation through aroma.

    On her journey in aromatherapy, she has encountered many touching stories and witnessed the infinite possibilities within each life.
    On this path of healing, Luna hopes to influence more people and help them free themselves from emotional entanglements.

    Cross-Industry Collaborations: Making Aromatherapy Part of Daily Life

    Luna has also collaborated with high-end brands in jewelry and fashion, book clubs, and various themed salons and events, showcasing the 1+1>2 potential of aromatherapy when integrated across industries.
    She is committed to bringing aromatherapy closer to everyone and integrating it into daily life.
