Deborah Ishmael
Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“I am the one that considers a client 'truly holistically,' mind, body, and spirit.”
How Deborah added aromatherapy to a life of holistic study.
I fell in love with the study and practice of alternative health in early 2007. I have studied almost constantly since then. After obtaining two doctorates in holistic and alternative health, I watched as aromatherapy came into a nationwide spotlight.
Having only touched on aromatherapy, as Bach Flower Essence Therapy was my passion and subject of my dissertation, I decided I needed some in depth study on the therapy. I now have a new found passion for aromatherapy. And I am learning how awesome my two favorite therapies are combined.
So I am researching to combine the two in blends with the incorporation of breath work, meditation, movement therapies, and crystal healing. I find holistic therapies and the study of holistic therapies amazing and magical. I am in constant awe as I see them have such positive results.
For several years I have participated in local craft venues during the holidays. I make various products combining multiple holistic therapies. Some are what I consider to be 'signature' blends, others I create based on requests with individualized research.
I am not just finding an 'oil for that,' I work hard to find what's for you.
I have completed the Advanced Graduate Program with Aromahead and have also completed a dissertation on Flower Essence Therapy.
Aromahead provided me exactly what I had been looking for. The community and the quality of information. Everything was presented in an easy to understand format with plenty of opportunities to put what is being learned into practice. Through my studies, not only did I learn so much about essential oils, but also about carriers which are equally as important.
What made the difference, in Deborah’s words.
Deborah came to Aromahead already deep in holistic study. Here is what stood out to her, in her own words.
Exactly what she was looking for
After two doctorates, this program still delivered what her study lacked.

Learning you can practice
The format keeps things clear, and the exercises put the knowledge to work.

Beyond the oils
The curriculum treats carriers as first-class ingredients, not an afterthought.
