Joan Price-McLaughlin
Aromatherapy Certification Program graduateHow Joan found the way in.
I came into Aromatherapy through soap-making friends whose soap I adored. An acupuncturist who was treating me also used essential oils and once I experienced the therapeutic effects, I was hooked. I started taking classes, going to conferences, joined national aromatherapy groups, and here I am, living a life steeped in aromatics. I started my business, Aromatix, in 2011, offering classes & consultations in the greater Chicago area.
Aromatix Signature Scents, Aromatherapy Products & Services
Update--I served on the Alliance of International Aromatherapists' (AIA) Board of Directors between 2012-2015. This is a great organization for aromatherapists and others who use essential oils in their practice. Check it out: www.alliance-aromatherapists.org
