Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“You can teach an old dog new tricks!”
How Jeanne found her way in.
I have many passions in my life and now I can include aromatherapy as one of them. My day time job is working for an architectural firm in the Twin Cities as a project manager. The remaining part of my day and weekends are spent with my husband and our furry children. Although I have lived my whole life in Minnesota, I love traveling to new places and finding the hidden gems. My other passions include listening to music, reading, cooking, photography and spending time with my family and friends.
The discipline of aromatherapy was very new to me when I started the certification program. I understood the concept of the olfactory sense but did not realized the importance of adding essential oils to every day life or for certain ailments. I want to take this knowledge to consult and provide products to anyone who is interested. I would also love to teach others and plan to take the Teacher Training Program next.
Voodoo Blends by JAK
My new adventure of Voodoo Blends by JAK is a work in progress. I want to have consultations and provide products and blends for all sorts of needs. I also want to provide a more natural ways of getting through every day life and to take away some of its stress.
What made the difference, in Jeanne’s words.
Jeanne started the certification decades after her last classroom. Here is what stood out for her.
Fears settle in lesson one
Coming back to studying after decades can feel scary. The first lesson is built to change that.
College was many, many years ago for me and the thought of taking on something new including online classes was scary. Within the first lesson between the webinar and forum, lots of my fears subsided.
A forum that has your back
Years of student questions and answers mean someone has usually wondered exactly what you are wondering.
The forum has this vast knowledge and experience that helps you answer any question. It also helps put your mind at ease, many times I would go looking for some help to realize that someone else had the same thought and you realize you are not alone.
Lessons you can replay
Every recorded webinar stays available, in full or in part, whenever you want it again.
Also I can go back and listen to the whole thing or just part of it anytime I want.
