"The component blending class is incredible. I learned more about the conifer oils than I ever thought possible and now have 2 new favorite oils, Siberian fir, and pinon pine. This class along with the Aromatherapy Certification Program has really increased my understanding of essential oil chemistry. I now feel completely comfortable blending from a component perspective. The class has brought a deeper understanding to my work as an aromatherapist and massage therapist, and I know my clients will be able to tell the difference."
