About us
Welcome to The Dragon Oak
The Dragon Oak is a mystical apothecary inspired by nature, ritual and the ancient magic of the sea. Here, crystals, herbs, mythology and intention come together in creations designed to support personal power, protection and transformation.
I’m Nella, the heart behind The Dragon Oak: an Italian soul living in Belgium, a proud mother and a lifelong explorer of both the mystical and the scientific worlds.
My path began when I was twelve and discovered my first crystal. That moment sparked a fascination with minerals, energy and the hidden forces of nature, beginning a journey of study and practice that continues to this day.
My ancestral roots trace back to Vieste in Southern Italy, where the Adriatic Sea meets ancient cliffs and Mediterranean winds carry centuries of folklore. The ocean’s rhythm, mystery and depth have always been a powerful influence on my spiritual path and continue to inspire many of my creations.
This connection to the sea flows naturally into my love of Greek mythology and oceanic archetypes: from Aphrodite rising from the foam to the mysterious sirens, nymphs and sea creatures that speak to intuition, transformation and power.
Over the years, I have explored many paths of spiritual practice and healing, including herbalism, energy work, shadow work, womb healing and the divine feminine. These teachings have shaped my personal journey and the philosophy behind my creations.
For more than eight years, I have been crafting ritual and spell oils, carefully blending herbs, resins, botanicals and intention. Each oil is made slowly and thoughtfully, inspired by folklore, mythology, plant magic and lived experience. My creations are designed to support rituals for protection, prosperity, love, transformation and spiritual practice.
Alongside my oils, The Dragon Oak offers minerals, crystal jewellery, magical apothecary blends and ritual tools that honour both traditional knowledge and intuitive craft. The shop continues to evolve as a reflection of my passions: oceanic magic, astrology, natural spirituality and the quiet wisdom of the earth.
Motherhood has also deepened my commitment to learning and understanding, especially around autism, ADHD and high sensitivity. These subjects are an important part of my personal journey and continue to shape how I see and support the people around me.
I speak French, English, Dutch and Italian, so you’re welcome to contact me in whichever language feels most comfortable. If you have a question, please feel free to reach out. I’m most active on Instagram, where you can find me at @TheDragonOak.
Everything at The Dragon Oak is crafted or curated with care, respect and intention, with the hope that each piece brings a small spark of magic into your life.
Thank you for supporting The Dragon Oak.
May the magic you seek always find its way to you.
In 2022, I deepened my path as a healer through the powerful Quantum Reiki training with Reiki Master Isabelle Gold.
This transformative journey opened my ability to channel Reiki energy on a quantum level beyond time, space, and physical form.
Guided by Isabelle’s sacred wisdom, I also completed her “Into the Womb” and “Abundant Feminine” courses.
These initiations awakened my inner teacher and healer, allowing me to offer womb healing, feminine embodiment practices, and manifestation work rooted in deep intuitive connection and ancestral remembrance.
Testimonials
Normally, I'm not a fan of shopping for crystals online. You never know what kind of energy you'll receive. But after following The Dragon Oak for a few months, I decided to try ordering something during a live sale.
Wow, if you've ordered from her before, you'll understand this reaction. The Dragon Oak stands for fantastic service and quality. There's always a great selection, and she helps you find something special if you're looking for it. She has vast knowledge and exudes a wonderful energy.
After receiving some amazing pieces, like a custom-made mala, I can't help but recommend her to everyone!
So, if you're looking to expand your crystal collection, The Dragon Oak is the place to be! You won't regret it.

I’ve ordered both crystals and oils several times from The Dragon Oak. Every time, I receive truly stunning, top-quality crystals. What I love about The Dragon Oak is that if you're looking for something special, she will really make an effort to find it for you. For me, The Dragon Oak is my go-to crystal shop because I know I’m buying authentic, top-quality crystals at fair prices. The oils are also amazing! I’m a big fan of the hair oil. Since using it, my bleached hair has improved so much. It’s growing faster than before and is way less dry and brittle. You can feel that the products are made with a lot of love and knowledge.
The little extras she often includes in the orders are a lovely touch. Everything is always neatly and safely packaged.
In short, The Dragon Oak is the best crystal and witchy apothecary for me
