Jodi Kelsey, Botanical Formulator | MS, Aromatherapy | MS, Herbal Medicine

Jodi Kelsey is an aromatherapist, herbalist, and botanical skincare formulator with a deep commitment to natural wellness and plant-based healing. After retiring from the Air Force, Jodi was introduced to essential oils after relocating to Colorado in 2013. Motivated by a desire to reduce her family's exposure to toxic chemicals, she began by creating simple formulations and essential oil blends—marking the start of a transformative journey into the world of plant medicine.

Jodi began formulating skincare products in 2014, initially focusing on essential oils and lipid oils to address personal skin concerns. As her passion grew, she soon began exploring the therapeutic potential of herbs and hydrosols, gradually incorporating them into her formulations. In 2017, she launched a small business, 3Js Pure Botanicals, centered on handcrafted, plant-based products. Eager to expand her knowledge, she enrolled at the American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS), earning a Master of Science in Aromatherapy in 2019 and, later, a Master of Science in Herbal Medicine in 2025.

Jodi has also completed specialized training with the Aromatic Wisdom Institute (hydrosols), the School for Aromatic Studies (essential oils and botanical formulation), and the Herbal Academy (herbalism). She has studied herbal oil infusion with Kami McBride and explored the chemistry and applications of lipid oils with Susan Parker. Jodi brings a rich, interdisciplinary approach to her work that reflects a lifelong commitment to learning and to honoring the profound healing power of plants.

Today, Jodi is passionate about educating others on the therapeutic benefits of botanicals and raising awareness of the potential dangers of synthetic chemicals found in everyday products. She specializes in botanical skincare, blending science, tradition, and artistry in every formulation.
