Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“Expanding my knowledge is paramount in becoming the best teacher that I can become.”
How Karen found her way to the oils.
I was raised on a rural tobacco and horse farm in Central KY. I've traveled much of the world as a US Merchant Marine working on the cruise ships.
I've been blessed to have experienced various cultures intimately and in doing so, I've been introduced to many alternative healing options. I was always interested in medicine and had hopes of becoming a medical doctor.
After my marriage in Romania, in 2006, I was finally able to start pursing my dream of being a medical professional. While attending school, in 2010, I became sick with a mysterious illness.
I have a long story about this scary journey, but to cut it short, this health crisis eventually led me to trying essential oils for my treatment path. I am honored to be able to share my experiences with essential oils with you.
Karen Badea, Author, 'The Farmacy Cabinet Series'
I am also a published author of 'The Farmacy Cabinet Series'. The Farmacy Cabinet series is a new e-book and paperback series written about various essential oils and their healing and culinary benefits.
I truly enjoyed my education at Aromahead Institute. The ability to log in online and have such a professional website at my fingertips, was, indeed, a wonderful experience. The video training, the setup of the website, the ability to keep up with my account, the ease of contacting the staff, and the ability to pay monthly was all I could possibly ask for in any educational institution.

What made the difference, in Karen’s words.
Karen looked for a school she could trust with her education. Here is what she found, in her own words.
Built for real life
Study online at your own pace, reach real people when you have questions, and pay monthly.
