From a Skeptic to an Aromatherapy Business Owner!

Janine went from skeptic to believer!

Janine Voort used to be skeptical about natural health products—including essential oils. 

But she was open-minded enough to try them. And then something unexpected happened… 

“I remember trying an oil blend for digestive support when I was experiencing stomach cramps due to lactose intolerance. As I applied it to various pulse points (wrists, behind the jaw), I had no expectation that it would help at all. I was pleasantly surprised and then amazed as the bloating dissipated. I thought ‘How can that be possible?’ But I found that it works every time.”

She knew she’d found another way to help others. Ever since then, she’s been on a mission to learn everything she can. 


“My family might call it ‘being obsessed,’” she says. 
“But I prefer to think of myself as an enthusiastic learner!”


(I love that interpretation, Janine!)


Enthusiastic learning at Aromahead Institute!

Janine decided to attend Aromahead Institute to learn even more! She enrolled in the Aromatherapy Certification Program. 

She was so excited that she completed the entire ACP in just three months!  (Check out her graduate page!) Janine had some sweet feedback about her experience in the program: 


“The ACP was wonderful. It was so well organized and it
was great to be able to work at my own pace… I learned
more than I ever thought there was to know about essential oils.


“It is such a supportive community. I don’t know if you
will find a nicer bunch of people than a group of aromatherapists”


Janine’s aromatherapy business

Eventually, Janine started her own aromatherapy business!

It’s called Lavandula. She consults with clients one-on-one, making therapeutic blends for them just as she learned to do in the ACP. She’s even planning to teach aromatherapy classes!

“I have felt that with each step along the way, a new door has opened before me. What a thrill!”

Isn’t it amazing when synchronicities line up to help you achieve your dreams?

Janine’s website has a page full of beautiful, heart-warming testimonials from her clients. 

For Janine, becoming a Certified Aromatherapist was important for her business. She writes all about the benefits of working with a Certified Aromatherapist. 

While she knows there’s a lot of advice about essential oils 

online, Janine has seen how much of that advice is misleading.

She warns against internal use (without professional guidance) and using oils unsafely for pregnant women. She even shares that she came across a lip balm that contained Bergamot essential oil—which is highly phototoxic and can cause skin burns in sunlight!

As a Certified Aromatherapist, Janine helps her clients avoid those pitfalls. 

“There are many factors to take into account to ensure that the oils are right for your unique make-up—your condition, your age, your level of health, your lifestyle, and your medications…"

To become a certified professional aromatherapist, you must complete 235 hours of coursework which includes 159 hours of essential oil study and 76 hours of anatomy and physiology. My training covered more aspects about essential oils than I ever knew existed… I am an enthusiastic learner and continue to immerse myself in further education!”


It’s your turn to build your dreams into reality!

I have so much respect for Janine’s dedication to education! 

And for those of you reading… if you want essential oils to play a bigger role in your future, why not follow in Janine’s footsteps? Prioritize a research-based education, and give yourself a firm foundation in essential oil science that helps you stand above the crowd.
