The Zyanya Aromatherapy story begins in 1993, when owner/creator Robert Berryman became convinced of the healing powers of essential oils as he experimented with them in his massage therapy practice. Robert began studying aromatherapy with master teacher and spa consultant, Roxanne Yahner, and with George Kerr, owner and president of Aloha essential oils.
After several years of study and experimentation, Robert became an aromatherapy consultant to the world-famous Burke Williams spa in Los Angeles. He designed a special massage technique using unique custom blends of exquisite essential oils and handcrafted aromatherapy products, and taught aromatherapy and his new massage approach to the staff. Robert's seminars and the exceptional products he introduced to Burke Williams created a tremendous surge in the popularity of the spa's aromatherapy services, and Robert soon became manager of the massage department for Burke Williams. In 1999, Robert left Burke Williams to devote himself to Zyanya and his private bodywork practice.
