quitters never prosper or learn. There is a phamplet available called 216 ways to use essential oils I give one to all my EO interested friends it does not proscribe any one brand.

hello there to all aroma lovers?! or...maybe not?

I have been excited and interested in aromatherapy since the age of 11..I can remember my mom questioning why I was choosing the "scent of the day" based on how I felt or how I wanted to feel..she still brings it up to this day..and if I was wearing yellow that day I would wear the perfume that had a yellow cap or writing or sometimes if I thought it smelled "sunny"..how funny is that!! If there is one thing that I can say about myself is that one of my favorite senses is smell! Some of my favs..FRANKINCENSE..MYRRH..AMBER..SANDALWOOD..CEDARWOOD..PATCHOULI...COPAL..ORANGE..Aromatherapy...to me is a necessity! I use oils on a daily basis in my practice and personal..every way imaginable! I have read numerous books and been around it for sooooo long that it just comes naturally to me..picking up the blends of the oils..do I really need a piece of paper? :) yes..it would look nice in the treatment room...is there anyone out there who LOVES oils as much a I do?

I'm taking a certification course from the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy. The curriculum is authored by Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D., and authority in the field.

Hi Rene,
Where are you doing your certification course? Am interested in it myself so I have been looking around. Anyone, any comments on online courses please let me know your thoughts.

I recently started my Certification in Aromatherapy course. Have been practicing it together with Lomi-Lomi and CranioSacral. Found it to be a great combinations to take care of body, mind and emotions.

Hello All! I have always enjoyed Aromatherapy since my first massage where it was part of my session. Normally I charge clients more when I incorporate it with a massage however, lately I just include it as part of the session as I am finding clients are coming with higher levels of stress and it helps bring about a calming factor. I would rather include then not.

To the question regarding what can be used as a mosquito/bug repellent, I use Lavender either in the form of an oil or liquid/bar soap when bathing. Mosquito/bugs are attracted to the sweat we expell when outside during summer season. When I know I am going to be outside for a length of time, I carry either a small container of the oil or liquid soap and will "refresh" myself with it from time to time to keep the bugs away. Hope this helps!

Hello! In 1994, I earned certification as an aromatherapist and co-founded an apothecary style, aromatherapy boutique, Sabia, in Austin, Texas where I educated the public daily on the therapeutic uses of essential oils, herbs and flower essences for more than 8 years.

I now live in northern California where I have a private practice as an Intuitive Consultant, Energy Medicine Practitioner and Aromatherapist.

Hi everyone! I've had my own practice for 5 1/2 years and love to incorporate aromatherapy massage in my sessions! I frequently use special blends for my fibromyalgia clients and clients who are in labor. I enjoy learning about new EO's and their properties and uses.
