Credibility Started Here
Influential Collaborations
Quality of Life Associates started representing Oshadhi pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, sourced directly from growers all over the world. Founded in 1990 by Dr. Malte Hozzel, German-born author, educator, and pioneer in holistic aromatherapy, Carol was the first and the top performing, national representative for over 10 years. In the pre-digital era, Carol operated as a virtual manufacturer, crafting clay diffusers and coordinated the designing, selling, and fulfilling of her unique designs through trusted production partners, and distributing through national catalogs, all as a sole proprietor. Carol provided presentations at national conferences, and published aromatherapy educational programs and course booklets.
Early Years in Sales
Carol began her career selling word processors to attorneys (whose secretaries were using iconic Selectric™ typewriters), long before the PC became “PC.” Intuiting where the market was heading, her ability to listen, develop rapport, organize around business needs and develop referrals and relationships, were formed early and naturally.
Strategic Partnerships
Carol began an enduring friendship, mentorship, and collaboration with Ixchel Leigh in 1991. Ixchel is regarded as one of the pioneers of the authentic aromatherapy industry. Carol actively represented Vibrational Aromatherapy by Ixchel™ products and trainings. Carol was Education Director, coordinating national educational certification classes and retreats, editing and publishing several editions of Ixchel's manuals and published book, as well as recently securing rights to distribute products and teach classes for Vibrational Aromatherapy by Ixchel™. QLA will be reintroducing Ixchel’s Vibrational AromaTherapy ChakraSynergy™ blends for sale and offer Vibrational AromaTherapy certification classes.
Always Training, Learning, Growing
Continually Practicing
During the 90's, Carol studied energetic modalities. She enrolled at the Polarity Realization Institute (now Spa Tech) and completed certification as both a Registered Polarity Practitioner (RPP) and a RYSE (Raise Your Subliminal Energy) Practitioner and Trainer. Carol completed training on Reiki I and II. She became a Level I and Level II Integrated Energy Therapy (EIT) Practitioner with Trainer Patricia Brown, completed the Guided Self-Healing first year training course with Dr. Andrew Hahn, and Chinese Energetic Medicine three level training with Dr. Kam Yuen. With over 1,000 hours of study, Carol continues today as an energy practitioner who incorporates the vibrational qualities of essential oils into her energy practice.
Speaking About What She Knows
Carol has been a featured workshop presenter and speaker at national conferences for Polarity and Aromatherapy. In her private holistic healing sessions and classes, Carol weaves her unique combinations of polarity, vibrational aromatherapy, Chinese energetic medicine, guided self-healing, and energy awareness into her classes and sessions and is a natural teacher and educator of complex subjects. She reads a room and an audience and is so tuned into her subject matter around healing and energy that she becomes both message and messenger in one persona.
The Practicality of Pivoting
In 2006, Carol pivoted her career into professional healthcare and senior living; starting as Director of Community Relations at Benchmark's Haverhill assisted living and later to Home Instead Senior Care in Andover. In 2008, she moved to the South Shore to become her mother's personal caregiver during her cancer and hospice journey. She returned to senior living positions in business development, marketing, and community relations; always applying her passion for wellness and energy. Care Alternatives Hospice (now Ascend) collaborated with a gifted blender to provide patients with authentic therapeutic quality blends for end of life. Carol made a difference in growing the census at Old Colony Hospice, the four years she was there. Each time she landed at a hospice, she aspired to bring AromaLotions to each agency for support to families and patients. She continues to nurture trusted relationships and valuable connections, as a part time Director of Business Development for ComForCare Home Care.
More About Carol Corio
Trusted Collaborator, Educator, Wellness & Energy Entrepreneur
Carol Corio's reputation is built on key pillars and several important career pivots.
Each mark her success across business development, education, and leadership in healthcare, senior living, hospice, and wellness. When her dad was stricken with cancer at a young age, he inspired her to find her passion and start her own company. She was an early adopter of energy and aromatherapy playing major roles in healing. Followed by helping others navigate the unfamiliar terrain of the healthcare landscape. Helping people to age gracefully is in her DNA.
Computer Sales Continue to Serve Her Well
Carol Corio began her career selling word processors to attorneys long before the PC become "PC." As a clunky computer was evolving into sleek Apple desktops, she intuited where the market was heading and her ability to listen, develop rapport, and organize business solutions for clients and customers came naturally.
She spent 12 years mastering her sales expertise with computer industry leaders CPT Word Processing to WANG Laboratories. Today, her new buddies are ai platforms, her mastery of creative instruments like CANVA, and her natural ability to talk back-end jabber-wockys to use real English in dumbing down complex issues.
Aromatherapy, Energy, Wellness Practitioner & More
Carol Corio next started selling essential oils locally to healthcare practitioners. She targeted massage therapists, aestheticians, and advertised in nationally recognized industry trade magazines and new age bookstores. In those days she described the scene as the wild west. Lots of room for experimentation and leaders in the industry were emerging slowly, tentatively, and with great passion. She expanded her national database of like-minded practitioners and retailers; thirsty to learn more for alternative treatments. She studied with the best and brightest in the field. It was a way to honor her father's wishes. And follow her passions. But this was not enough to pay her bills. It was imperative to pivot.
Decades Committed to Seniors
In 2006, Carol Corio launched her professional career in healthcare and senior living; where she spent decades committed to improving the quality of life for elders. She has applied her listening skills, caregiving expertise, business and entrepreneurial acumen to business development, educating professionals in wellness, hospice care, energy and healing for New England's great providers in assisted living, homecare, and hospice.
From Roots, Multiple Pivots Back to Major Passion
Today, Carol Corio is back where she belongs. Her roots. Her "dad-inspired" missive to find her passion in life and follow it. Educating others on the awareness of energy and the power of wellness. Discovering X39 Patch technology reignited her passion and inspired her to relaunch Quality of Life Associates.
As someone who chronologically could be looking at retirement, but mentally and spiritually have more acts in her, Carol was noticing her own body’s ability to heal slow down, her sleep disrupted, her brain fogged at times, her energy depleted. Aging is not for the faint of heart. When you don’t have your health, the quality of your life can be greatly diminished. She has found a solution that responded to her body’s natural ability to align with health, no drugs, no stimulants, no side effects, using just phototherapy, light waves, in the same way that the sun’s rays stimulate the increase of vitamin D in our body.
As Carol suggests...."give me a few minutes of your time and I will listen. I will help energize your commitment to think differently about how to enhance the quality of how you want to age. For over a year, I scoured the Internet to make sure the X39 Patch is the real deal. It is."
As she is quick to point out......"If you are interested in feeling younger and enhancing quality of life by aging gracefully, this is what you have been searching for. And maybe after you see the results for yourself, you will want to join the Quality of Life team and share it with others."
Carol Corio is ready to take your call.
