Crissy Saenz, Founder, was raised in East Los Angeles, California and was diagnosed with anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (also known as "PTSD") at a young age. Although not formally diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ("CPTSD"), she has experienced complex trauma.

Throughout the years, she has navigated through different ways to cope such as medication, therapy, psychiatry, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), neurofeedback therapy, working out and herbal medicinals. You name it; she has probably tried it. In her adult years, she came to realize that most of the music she grew up listening to would trigger her mental health ailments. Eventually, she recognized that music and sounds such as Japanese flutes, 432Hz sound frequency, Lo-Fi hip hop and ocean waves would calm her. Crissy also noticed that everything about candles - from their aromatherapy to their light flicker - pair perfectly with these sounds and soothed her condition. One day, she thought to herself, “What if what I do to help myself can help others?” This is how Kalmado and Aromasound Therapy was born. Crissy is very hopeful it can help you the same way it has helped her.
