Repurposing Aromatherapy Knowledge: A Change of Business for Jason

In 2014, an accidental fall led Jason Conifer to discover a new passion: aromatherapy.

"I found myself in my attic...surveying remnants from the former inhabitant, including an oddly placed wooden toilet seat.

"In an attempt to clear out the attic, I misplaced my footing and ended up creating an unplanned skylight."

Although he emerged with minor scratches, the incident triggered an exploration of natural remedies. Jason's primary self-prescribed treatment was essential oils.

Initially introduced to the power of essential oils through social media, Jason was particularly fascinated by the story of French chemist René Gattefossé. Gattefossé reportedly used Lavender essential oil to heal lab burns.

Encouraged by this, Jason mixed coconut oil with Lavender essential oil and used it to soothe his post-fall aches. His DIY blend was surprisingly effective!

"In no time, I noticed a sense of calm overcoming me. The discomfort ebbed away, and I felt centered. It was at this point I understood the untapped potential of essential oils."

The Power of Aromatherapy Unveiled

Driven by curiosity and his personal experience, Jason embarked on a journey to delve deeper into the science of essential oils.

He enrolled in a local aromatherapy course and soon established his first business—Bold Aromatherapy.

Years of treating clients and utilizing aromatherapy for personal health benefits confirmed Jason's belief in the power of essential oils. However, he also realized that there was much more to learn.

Thus, Jason opted for advanced learning at the Aromahead Institute. Their in-depth, chemistry-based aromatherapy curriculum was the perfect fit.

After enrolling in Aromahead's Aromatherapy Certification Program (ACP) in March 2020, Jason emerged seven months later as a certified aromatherapist. (Kudos, Jason!)

"Throughout those seven months, I honed my ability to alleviate symptoms of arthritis and psoriasis, and uncovered the vital role aromatherapy can play in managing sports injuries."

Jason appreciated the comprehensive education provided by ACP.

"The anatomy and physiology segments were thorough yet digestible. The case studies offered valuable hands-on experience in a virtual format through Zoom calls."

As Jason transitions to a new business venture, his wealth of aromatherapy knowledge continues to guide his decisions, demonstrating the value of natural remedies in our daily lives. His story is a testament to the transformative power of learning and adaptation.
