How a health scare turned a teacher toward the oils.
I am a retired elementary school teacher. I live in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan with my husband. I love to be outdoors hiking, camping, kayaking, gardening or just enjoying the sunshine.
In 2015, a health diagnosis threatened to take that away from me. It was then that I made a decision to make an overall change in my health habits. Since that point, I have continued to learn how to use oils on regular basis and have been motivated to share that experience with others.
Natural Health Essential Oils, LLC
I own a small business in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
We specialize in creating natural health and beauty products for our customers, while also working to reduce our carbon footprint. We use recycled paper for wrapping our soaps, repurpose boxes, and wrapping materials for shipping products whenever possible.
With the knowledge I have learned through Aromahead Institute, I plan to focus on creating personalized blends for clients to help support their overall well-being. I will also continue to make soaps and bath and beauty products for online sales and participate in local craft fairs.
Learning at Aromahead was ideal for me. I was able to work at my own pace and I found it was a very good balance of information and hands-on activities. I especially appreciated how the Anatomy and Physiology course was presented in a way that was very informational, yet understandable.

What made the difference, in Lori’s words.
