Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“Once I knew what I really required, I searched until I found Aromahead.”
How a wild plant led Holly here.
My interest in essential oils started a few years ago as I used to collect an edible wild plant, which I would blanch and freeze. One day I decided to try the blanching water and found it to be an excellent pick-me-up, so I froze the remainder.
One evening I took a package out to defrost and forgot to put it in the fridge overnight. The next morning all the green from the plant material had leached into the bowl, but left the water trapped in the plastic bag. Needless to say I thought it best to stop using it until I could learn more about this plant and its affects.
As there was virtually no information available, I had to start exploring other avenues to learn about this plant and my search led me to aromatherapy.
Two years later, I now have the knowledge and certification in place and will be opening an essential oils company later this year. I will begin research into the distillation of my "pick-me-up" plant to see if the essential oils route is a safer method to extract the benefits of this plant.
What made the difference, in Holly’s words.
Holly switched schools to get here. In her own words, this is why it was worth it.
Accreditation that counts
She needed a school whose certification would stand behind her professionally, not just the knowledge alone.
I had started with another aromatherapy school but the further I got into the course the more I realized for the direction I wanted to go I needed a school's accreditation and certification behind me, not just the knowledge.
Flexibility built in
The modules fit around her life, on her schedule.
I appreciated the fact I could work at my own pace which gave me the flexibility to do the modules as time allowed.
Instructors within reach
Live and recorded chats, quick feedback, and teachers you can actually reach.
The pointers I picked up from the various chats (recorded and live) are invaluable. The accessibility to the instructors and prompt feedback proved very beneficial as such I will be back for more courses.
