Meet Nicholas Cappele | Alchemist & H2e Aromatherapy Products Creator

ShoutOut Arizona featured Nicholas Cappele in today’s Local Story section.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicholas Cappele and we’ve shared our conversation below about his aromatherapy beginning.

Hi Nicholas, what do you attribute your success to?
My success as an Alchemist has come from listening to clients needs and doing the research on the plants that could help the individual along with coming from the heart and following my intuition when developing formulas.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Both sets of my grandparents were farmers that immigrated to the US from Italy and Scotland. My fathers side landed in Iowa and my Moms side in NYC. My dad was in the military when he met my mom and we spent most of my childhood traveling stateside and abroad in Europe. One of the best things my Parents did was make sure we lived off base to experience the native culture & because of that choice I’ve been taught to keep an open mind, show respect and learn from a different approach to life. I started my design career right out of high school with an opportunity to manage a hair salon In Tucson. My parents did not have the money to send me to college so I bought my first house at nineteen and sold it to a Doctor 3 years later to finance my way through the Interior Design program at the FT Lauderdale Art Institute. After graduating I headed up to NYC to spend the 80’s in Manhattan which was both the darkest and most exhilarating times of my life.It was survival of the fittest and I took the opportunities to experience jobs in the floral clothing hair and interior design fields while I was there.The darkness set in the late 80’s with loosing friends to the Aids crisis and the passing of my father. My mom was having a hard time & I decided to come back to Phoenix to be with her. I took my experience from the east and got a job in a salon built my client base and with that base started my interior design business. I was going strong working with 3 sets of contractors to handle to work until the crash happened and that is when a new chapter emerged after completing the design project for my Attorney friend. Looking back on the last 10 years I’m seeing all of my experience coming together with the launch of my H2e Aromatherapy company which has been an amazing journey in helping people find their inner peace get back on track with my compositions.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I always take my visiting guests to Sedona for hiking in Boynton Canyon home of the great mother & one of the most magical places on earth to chill and reset. Pre covid 19 I would take them to the Phoenix Art museum, the Botanical Gardens a trip to downtown Tempe & Old Town Scottsdale. Might get a quick bite at the Phoenix city Grill or AZ88. I like to cook so dinner was usually at home.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My shout out goes to a former Interior Design client Pamela Donison who encouraged me to write my book Altared Space after the success of using Feng Shui and bio-philia in the redesign of her Law Office and my Editor and Coach Jill Bernstein who encouraged me to join a writing program where 100 authors, if chosen would fly to New York for the opportunity to do a 3o sec pitch on their book to ABC NBC and CBS affiliates.After my book went to Best Seller on Amazon both Pamela and Jill encouraged me to develop my Chakra products for workshops and also introduced me to the Downtown Phoenix Market to reach a local base of clients.Because my products are experiential this market has provided an excellent format to listen to what people are looking for and get feedback on the new products I create.

Voyage Phoenix Features Nicholas Cappele of H2E Aromatherapy

Nicholas Cappele — Fri, 11 May 2018 23:42:04 +0000

Nicholas Cappele of H2E Aromatherapy was featured in the May 3, 2018 edition of VoyagePhoenix.

Read the complete article below.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicholas Cappele.

Nicholas, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I returned to Arizona in 1990 after living & working as a Designer in New York City for 10 years. To get myself re-established I started working at various salons around the Valley to build a client base & it was six years later I started my Interior Design practice. I developed a strong referral base with most of my clients being attorneys. I was extremely busy working with three sets of contractors to handle the load. I have been published in The Arizona Republic & Phoenix Home & Garden showcasing my work.

It was just before the economic crash in 2010 when I was hired by a local divorce attorney to design her new space using my knowledge of Feng Shui & the use of Bio-philia in the design process. It was the success of this project that prompted my client to challenge me to write a book.Being that the market had slowed down I took a year off, hired an editor & coach and wrote my book “Altared Space”. My coach enrolled me in a program to compete with other authors around the country where 100 were chosen to fly to NYC to have the opportunity for a 30-second “pitch” to the major Tv & radio networks.

Although I didn’t land a gig on Good Morning America I did have several radio interviews as well as taking my book to Best Seller on Amazon.!It was my coach who encouraged me to develop the essential oil line I created for the design project to help support the knowledge I was teaching in the book. Since that day I have now five Aromatherapy collections and am working with local wellness businesses that use my products in their service.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It certainly has been a learning experience… Unlike the design business where you were paid for your “vision” in putting a project together. This has had its challenges in being responsible for not only conception, composition, design, packaging as well as producing now over 130 products by hand.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about H2E AROMATHERAPY – what should we know?
My original concept of H2e (Heaven to Earth) Aromatherapy was to create healing plant essences to help people to stay centered and calm in a world of chaos. I started with the Chakra Collection which focuses on the body’s energy system. I was challenged by a fellow artist who was suffering from cancer & radiation burns on her hands to develop a lotion- cream to alleviate her open wounds & pain. I had an Aveda salon for seven years so I was versed on natural plant compositions.

I took the challenge interviewed 46 Artists, men & women with various skin conditions & found a US company that produced paraben free bases where I was guided by the biochemist to which base would help alleviate the particular symptoms and it was then when my Spa Collection was created. At the end of the day, the most gratifying part of this business is the feedback from individuals when they experience my products. One of the things I do at the markets is really listened to peoples stories and if there is a particular request or need I try my best to create a product that will be of benefit.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Perseverance for starters, keeping it positive as much as I can, & learning to listen to & trust my inner voice.
