What do aromatherapists do when they catch a cold? I mean, aside than writing about it when I should be resting! To be honest, I don't even know how I caught this cold ( I don't like to even admit it!!). I use essential oils on a regular basis that support my immune system, and… Continue reading When Aromatherapists catch a cold
Forest Therapy – take it with you
I've made a special aromatherapy blend that was inspired by my participation in the Strolls for Well Being program at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. It reminds me of how uplifted, focused, relaxed and inspired I feel when I am there. The aroma is like the fresh air with notes of the canopy of… Continue reading Forest Therapy – take it with you

On the Horizon
Today I'm listening to the rain, the thunder, and the chorus of birds, and the dry earth is exhaling and soaking in a long-awaited rain. The resulting petrichor is amazing - fresh, woody, and earthy. The sun was out briefly but the days of 80 degree weather seems to be over for the year. Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪkɔər/)… Continue reading On the Horizon

Exciting Things Happening in the Essential Oil Industry! (see new note 3/21/21)
I love when essential oil companies provide quality testing reports with the essential oils they sell. But what about the ones that don’t? Anyone can claim their essential oil to be 100% pure and natural, but that doesn’t mean they are! Dr. Pappas of Essential Oil University has exposed some companies for producing and marketing… Continue reading Exciting Things Happening in the Essential Oil Industry! (see new note 3/21/21)
Hydrosols!
I've been getting a small collection of hydrosols together to enhance my aromatherapy repertoire and love what I am already experiencing! Hydrosols, also called hydrolats, are the aromatic water from distilling flowers, roots, stems, leaves, needles etc. You get two products when you distill plant material: Essential oil and hydrosol. Hydrosols are essentially the water-soluble… Continue reading Hydrosols!
Just added!
I've just added my consultation and custom blend information to my website! It only took three and a half months... My main conundrum is, how do I approach this as a business, with fees, and expenses that I must be able to cover (and recover), while still helping as many people as I can? Access… Continue reading Just added!
