Certified Aromatherapist
I was introduced to DIY body care from a church sister who hosted a class for us and we made a whipped body butter which we all got to take some home. I loved the idea at that time, but it just went out of my head. I later introduced to essential oils and was fascinated by the fact that a little drop of this natural goodness could have so many major impacts in your health!
I started researching essential oils and aromatherapy and the more I studied, the more curious I became about all these oils could do. Before I knew it, I was studying to become a certified aromatherapist and received my certification in 2017. As part of my training, I learned to make blends specific for ailments and that was my first test for how well oils worked. I had some shoulder pain and used a blend that contained some butters, trauma oil and some additional essential oils. I immediately felt relief as I put it on. As I continued the coursework, I began to do consultations and was able to help many people with some of their issues. I was hooked!
My goal is to get others as excited as I am about taking our health into your own hands and to eliminate the toxins that we unknowingly are bringing into our homes. I want people to understand that we do have a choice and it does not necessarily need to be a more costly choice. With essential oils, a little long way and produces the best results. Natures was is the best way, join me on the journey and let's have fun along the way!
