Aaron Theno is the CMO and Chief Aromatherapist for Bioesse Technologies and Breatherapy, a company that promotes health and wellbeing through their patented inhalation patches for essential oil aromatherapy.  He has also been a Luxembourg citizen for around 7 years after the family discovered their heritage and were able to complete Luxembourg’s citizenship reclamation program.
