What students say about the course.
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 14 students in our post-course surveys.

“I loved the information on the carrier oils, and the recipes.”
“Fun to watch and learn. Always good new information in each class!”

“I really enjoyed learning the differences of carriers”
“Don’t remember when purchased but have watched few times and finally grasped and learned learning from this workshop. Now can’t wait to get blue tansy on my next order from Jenny saying the aroma strong. I like strong scents. You know one of my favorite is Plai.”
