Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“After retiring from 35 years as an educator I am following my dream of building my own yoga studio in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.”
How Karen turned retirement into a wellness studio.
I am a certified yoga teacher with a background in Anusara and Trapeze yoga.
During the pandemic I have used my time to gain more knowledge to enhance the wellness opportunities I will provide at the studio. I earned my Aromatherapy Certification through Aromahead Institute this year and I have earned certification to teach Fall Prevention Tai Chi, level 1 through the Vermont Area Agency on Aging.
Sweetwater Studios
Sweetwater Studios offers a variety of wellness opportunities including Anusara yoga for all levels, Trapeze yoga, Kundalini yoga, mindfulness classes, wellness workshops, and aromatherapy services. In addition, there is an apiary on the property, and the owners sell raw, unfiltered honey on site.
I will be offering Aromatherapy workshops in my studio and will be providing consulting services and making and selling blends to serve the needs of my clients.
I especially loved learning about the many uses of essential oils and also learning about the essential oil components that provide therapeutic benefits. The learning meshed perfectly with my love of nature.

What made the difference, in Karen’s words.
Karen added aromatherapy to a studio already full of yoga, mindfulness, and an apiary. Here's what she loved about the training, in her own words.
So many uses, and the why behind them
The components behind each oil's therapeutic benefits became a favorite part of the study.

A perfect mesh
The training fit naturally into a life already rooted in the outdoors.
