About BAR
“Every man deserves to be free…”
Brotherhood ARomatics (B.AR.)
Lucas Anderson founded our aromatherapy practice in 2018 with the purpose of supporting his fellow men, recognizing the lack of available information and services for men to improve their physical and mental health. As a Registered Aromatherapist® with over seven years of experience, Lucas understood that men face unique challenges and often struggle to seek help due to societal expectations and a lack of safe spaces.
To address these challenges, Lucas shifted his focus from general aromatherapy to specialized men’s aromatherapy. He recognized that men often face internal struggles that prevent them from seeking help, and there are few safe spaces available to address these challenges, making it challenging for men to achieve optimal health and well-being.
At our practice, we provide a safe and inclusive space for men to address their unique health concerns, offering tailored aromatherapy treatments and resources designed specifically for men. Our team of certified and experienced aromatherapists is dedicated to helping men overcome their challenges and achieve long-term health and wellness.
Thank you for considering our aromatherapy practice, and we look forward to helping you on your journey to optimal health.

About Me
My passion for natural health solutions led me to explore the benefits of aromatherapy, which I believe can complement modern medicine and science. In 2014, I completed a 450-hour equivalent training program at Joyessence Aromatherapy Institute in Ontario. The program, approved by the Canadian Alliance of Aromatherapy, provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to become a Registered Aromatherapist® through the CAOA in 2015.
Since then, I have been committed to enhancing my skills and knowledge in aromatherapy and staying up-to-date with current research. As a member of the CAOA, I am required to complete at least 12 hours of knowledge training each year. Additionally, I have served on the Board of Directors of the CAOA and the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists Board of Directors in the past to stay involved and informed in the field.
I am dedicated to providing the highest quality aromatherapy services to my clients, and I am committed to advancing the field of aromatherapy through ongoing education and professional development. Thank you for considering my services, and I look forward to helping you on your journey to optimal health and wellness.

F.A.Q
Why men?
Well, more importantly, why not! When you look around society, you will find a lot of toxic concepts about manhood and masculinity. You will also see a lot of tables turning from a male-centred society to a no-male society. Rather than achieving equality between men and women, our society has swung the pendulum in the opposite direction. As a result, you will find little, if any, information about men and aromatherapy; there are fewer and fewer organizations available for men’s services for physical and mental health.
I would like to change that. Providing more space and services for men to achieve freedom in their health and become a source of information about men’s health and aromatherapy.
Do you use Therapeutic Grade essential oils?
Therapeutic Grade is a marketing term created by a large multi-level marketing company to imply that their products were somehow better than the rest.
The fact is that there is NO company out there that grades essential oils. When speaking of essential oils, knowing whether they are pure is crucial. We know if an oil is pure by looking at the GC-MS test report for the oil. When companies refuse to provide this document, it’s a sizeable red flag!
So no, we do not use Therapeutic Grade; we use pure essential oils from reputable sources.
Do you offer French Aromatherapy?
If you are speaking of the internal use of essential oils, no. This is because the internal use of essential oils constitutes medicine. This practice should only be done under the supervision of a qualified medical professional trained in the internal use of essential oils. Most doctors aren’t even qualified to do this. A post on our Facebook page dives into this topic much further.
The more important thing to untangle here is “French Aromatherapy.” Again, this is a term used by certain sellers of essential oils to muddy the waters about what’s important. The discussion about French, English, and German schools of thought for Aromatherapy is nothing more than gibberish.
What is ARoma Massage?
The most straightforward answer is that it is a relaxation-style full-body massage.
The only parts of the body that are not touched are the parts that would be covered by a “two-piece bathing suit.” It is a very light massage and follows the same routine every time.
