Impact

While leading a study abroad program to India focused on human trafficking, Dr. Vanessa Bouche and Dr. Tracy Rundstrom met with women trapped in the cycle of exploitation. Vanessa was motivated to start a company offering dignified employment to trafficking survivors, and Savhera Essential Oils and Aromatherapy was born.

Tracy was inspired to share her heart and calming force with the world, and “Tracy’s Grace” is the result. This essential oil blend made by the women of Savhera can inspire your own inner peace and serenity while serving a greater purpose.  This calming blend comprised of lavender, orange, and rosemary will lift your spirits and help you feel surrounded by love. Tracy’s Grace is available as both undiluted oil and a roll-on.
