Chris’s story

How Chris found the way in.

I have always been involved in health care. I literally went 'head to toe' after a long and happy career as a Dental Assistant to becoming Certified Reflexologist in 1996. I was inspired by my reflexology instructor to explore the world of aromatherapy. In 1999, I completed my Aromatherapy studies Institute of Clinical Aromatherapy (London, England) at Balnea Institute.

I have been a member of CFA (Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists) since 2000 as a Certified Aromatherapy Health Professional and a recognized instructor since 2002.

In 2010, after training at Aromahead Institute, I became a professional member and approved educator with NAHA.As a dedicated, life long learner, I have blended my love of travel with my passion for learning and have attended conferences and courses in France, Australia, United States and of course, across Canada. Steps to Health grew out of my desire to help others and share information to assist them along their natural pathway to wellness!
