I am Ernalou Amechachura-Del Rosario, but most call me Balot. I am a NAHA Level 2 Certified Aromatherapist, Regional Director of NAHA to the Philippines, professional life and grief coach, author, writer, brand consultant, entrepreneur and certified prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher. I immediately fell in love with essential oils when it was first introduced to me. I ventured to study when my son (who was 18 months old then) had an adverse reaction to an essential oil blend and I could not find a certified aromatherapist in the Philippines. I have never looked back since. I love teaching about safe use of essential oils and my main advocacy is aromatherapy for children and women. I hope to integrate all the things I do into one umbrella which would promote holistic wellness - soul, body and mind and aromatherapy just fits perfectly in this mission.

I am currently teaching and supporting my clients on the safe and effective use of essential oils and other aromatherapy products, and integrating it with my yoga, coaching, and mindfulness practices.

What I love about the Aromahead Institute is the amazing amount of information that Andrea, Cindy and the whole team have put together to offer a 360-degree view on the use of essential oils via topical and inhalation routes. The classes are self-paced, the webinars are superb and their responsiveness to the student's concerns are just impeccable! Thank you, Aromahead, for making my dream a reality. Cheers!
