About Us

"Oil Up" was founded by Claire Lachance, a graduate student of the Aromatherapy program through Montreal's BelArôme Holistic Health Centre, and Maggie Campbell, who earned a BA in Marketing through Concordia University.  Both had been friends for years, and were raised in very holistic households.

 

Upon graduation, Maggie developed the idea for a boutique that would make natural medicine more trendy, and more easy to understand from a beginner's perspective.  Although there were several popular companies that dealt with essential oils, she found them to be intimidating to someone who was not necessarily knowledgable on the field. Also, none of them had actual boutiques in the city. Maggie wanted to change that. She envisioned a company that would make aromatherapy simple, through color-coded essential oils classification.  She pictured a store as vibrant as its staff, which would appeal to a younger, more open-minded crowd. Claire took a huge liking to the idea, and they both began brainstorming their business venture.  After years of hard work and planning, their Montreal- based boutique opened its doors in May 2014. Located on trendy St. Denis, the store has already generated a huge buzz, and they hope to open several other locations within the next 5 years.

 

Walk within 20 feet of the shop and you'll be captured by the delightful aromas coming from inside. The bright teal exterior is impossible to miss! Enter and you'll be warmly greeted by a member of our highly trained aromatherapy staff, who will then assist you in finding exactly what you need. We guarantee you'll be hooked by the time you walk in.
