Kathryn Barr
Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“working with humans and animals alike to live in harmony, health and healing at every level - spiritual, emotional, physical and mental.”
How Kathryn wove aromatherapy into a life of callings.
I am a pastor, elementary special education teacher, naturopath, certified aromatherapist, birth professional and gardener. I are grateful that I have the opportunity to work all of these things together in ways that work for me and those who come to me to learn, heal and grow.
I strongly believe that informed consent and informed refusal are the rights of all people and that accurate information is necessary to make and informed choice. Diane Korte said it best - If you don't know your options, you don't have any!
One of my passions is to provide the best information I can, encourage the client to seek their own sources of information and then make the best choice that matches with their perceived Benefits and Risk analysis.
Abounding Health
I love treating those who come to me for care, some of them for years since their first visits. I learn so much as I continue to apply my skills and dig deeper into the research that continues to grow.
I am currently enrolled in an animal aromatherapy certification program to extend my skill set to work with our animal friends. My aromatherapy education will help me minister to the needs of those who come to the farm where I am headed once i have completed the current coursework.
What made the difference, in Kathryn’s words.
Kathryn kept going past certification, through graduate study and beyond. Here is what carried her, in her own words.
Depth you can dig into
Data sheets, blending exercises, and the Component Database rewarded her curiosity all the way through graduate study.
