Grow Your Essential Oil Blending Skills!

Think fast  … 

Siberian fir or ravintsara essential oil for the onset of a cold or flu?

Black spruce or Roman chamomile oil for a spasming muscle that started out of the blue?

While many oils can do many things, those who are truly in the know understand that there’s almost always an ideal oil or blend to select when addressing specific wellness challenges. 

Certified Aromatherapists rely on research, evidence, intuition, and experience to unlock results that would be highly improbable and completely inconsistent without a solid education.  

Aromatherapy Certification is your key to unlocking true essential oil confidence, credibility, and opportunity. 

As an aromatherapist, there’s nothing more fulfilling than creating a blend that helps someone feel better! As your blending skills grow, you’ll feel more and more confident that your blends will get those results–and you’ll understand exactly how and why they were effective. This added confidence and credibility will empower you to help even more people!

This added confidence and credibility will create opportunities that you can’t even begin to imagine! 

The only way to raise your essential oil blending skills is through evidence-based education and guided hands-on practice. 

In addition to being effective, you’ll be able to trust that your blends are safe. (Nothing’s worse than accidentally causing a negative reaction for someone you were trying to help—and all because you were missing a bit of key information!)

The tried-and-true path to essential oil expertise is becoming a Certified Aromatherapist.

Graduates of Aromahead’s Aromatherapy Certification Program (the ACP) stand among the most skilled, respected aromatherapists in the world. 

But every graduate started as a beginner! 

Meet a few ACP graduates who studied to grow their essential oil blending skills . . . and managed to help others as a direct result of their new knowledge!

Stephanie Prevented Her Daughter’s Pain

Stephanie was still a student of the ACP when she helped prevent painful bruises for her daughter and her exchange student!

“While I was taking my Aromahead class, winter came and my daughter decided to go with our exchange student to the skating rink. They both fell so many times that by the time they got home, they were in so much pain and I could see the bruises starting to come up. I whipped up a blend with helichrysum, lavender, and trauma oil, and voila! The girls had no pain, no inflammation and no bruises the next day... just as if they had not gone skating at all!

“I was only 3 months into the program, so I totally surprised myself with the success of my blend. I felt like giving myself a pat on the back but honestly, it is the oils that need to get the pat in the back for being so invested in our health and well being. It feels good to have accessed this extensive knowledge of the magical power of nature that comes in the form of essential oils"

— Stephanie Stephan


Rehne Helped a 90-Yr-Old Get Out of Bed

Rehne was fascinated by the different types of pain essential oils can help with—like joint pain, sciatic nerve pain, and the pain of a sprained ankle. She decided to focus her learning on pain management with essential oils. Her work is having a HUGE impact!

"Some of the most amazing results became clear when my 90-year-old client could get out of bed without pain. With conifer oils and plai, we came up with a perfect blend for her. She has compressed fractures all down her little spine, and this is a huge accomplishment."

— Rehne Burge

Robin Calmed an Agitated Hospice Patient

Soothing pain isn’t the only way essential oils can help the elderly. Robin’s client was in hospice care. He was often confused and angry, lashing out at people. He mumbled to himself and didn’t have much of an appetite.

Robin had learned the power essential oils have to calm the mind and bring back positive memories. She also knew that her client had been a barber in his younger years. She made a diffuser blend that she hoped would remind him of those times and calm him down. It worked!

"He was much calmer. He began to talk instead of mumbling like he was doing before. He was eating again. He actually enjoyed the smell. He began talking about his days in the barber shop. He began to smile every time the diffuser was turned on . . . I had to see for myself, so I went and paid him a visit . . . This time when I went into his room, it was almost like a new person was there. No more lashing out, and at times he actually held a conversation with me."

— Robin Kessler

Cynthia Helped a Little Girl Sleep 

In the ACP, Cynthia learned the many ways essential oils can offer emotional support. They can promote sleep, calm the heart, relax the nervous system, and create a deep sense of security. Cynthia was so impressed by these benefits that she focused much of her aromatherapy practice on helping people—including children—process trauma.

One of her youngest clients, a little girl, was dealing with emotional issues so disturbing that she hadn’t slept through the night in three years. Cynthia created a customized blend for her.

“While she sometimes still wakes up, she’s now calm and her parents are able to get her back to sleep without any problems. Without the blend, she was agitated when she awoke during the night.”

— Cynthia Tamlin

Jody Built a Business Through Word of Mouth

Jody Pesapane used the knowledge she gained in the ACP to grow her own aromatherapy business. Helping others is what makes her feel most fulfilled in life, so she leaned deeply into that. 

As she spends her time helping others, her own life has blossomed!

“I could never express the amount of joy it gives me to help someone feel better by using the knowledge that I’ve gained through the ACP. Hearing ‘I haven’t felt this good in 20 years!’ or having non-believers become believers in natural remedies keeps me in a perpetual state of fulfillment. My client base is organically growing because each case that I see has positive results. Through word of mouth, I am staying busy helping people, and I love every second of it.”

— Jody Pesapane
