I reconnected with nature!

As a doctor, I would never know how to answer my patient’s questions about herbs and herbal medicine.

I’m very pleased with this course and am so thankful that I found it! I searched for nearly 5 years to find the perfect course for me and my schedule. I love that it’s self–paced and that I can go back and reference different videos, slides, and other learning materials.

A whole new world!

I was totally new to aromatherapy; however, I’ve always loved flowers, plants, body care products, and perfumes. I never knew how those products were created or where essential oils came from. I enjoyed the course – it opened up a whole new world for me. I would recommend this course to friends, family, and associates. The course material is so valuable, it made learning exciting. I will never look at nature the same way; I can see clearly now!
-Shaynes (Clinical Aromatherapy Certification) 

I'm so inspired!

This experience was truly such an inspiration. What I loved most about the course was the wide range of references and visuals used as a collective curriculum. It is important as an educator to be able to have different types of references, such as articles, audio clips, visual aids, cheat sheets, etc., to ensure that your information is being received effectively. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
