Carolyn Shelley
Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“I'm a former educator that has discovered what I want to be when I grow up - an aromatherapist!”
How Carolyn turned a gym-class discovery into a wellness business of her own.
I was introduced to essential oils about 5 years ago through a presentation at a gym where I worked out.
Then my step-daughter began using them with her family. As my interest grew, as I took classes at our local apothecary here in the Central Highlands of Arizona, and as I witnessed oils being an effective complimentary and alternative treatment, I knew I wanted to pursue more learning. I'm so thrilled to be on this journey!
My other passions include gardening, tending to the Little Free Library we started in our neighborhood, working in animal rescue, and spending time with my family and friends.
EsSCENTials for Well Being
My business offers consultations, custom blends and classes focusing on the use of essential oils. My goal is to help people live healthier and happier lives.
A mentor suggested I look into Aromahead if I was serious in pursuing aromatherapy certification. I'm so glad that I did! The instruction was thorough, the activities beneficial, and the team was responsive and encouraging. It would be impossible to name all that I learned. I could not have asked for a better experience. As I set out on my aromatherapy journey, I feel confident and prepared.

What made the difference, in Carolyn’s words.
Carolyn came to Aromahead on a mentor's suggestion. Here's what made her glad she listened.
