Allison Kaylor: “It all started with me acknowledging I’m a witch”

Wherever I go, her colour healing sprays are in my bag: I often use them to prepare a room, whether it’s to record with a guest or to work with clients or facilitating a workshop. There’s something truly uplifting and calming about them – and they smell incredible. Allison Kaylor creates these essences and sprays from scratch in her workshop in the backyard of her house in Portland. During our summer break I got to visit her – and ask her everything about every single thing in her workshop. Like why she places the water she uses to mix the sprays first on a loudspeaker, or how smells correspond to certain colours – and how she got to discover that she’s a witch.
