Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“I loved everything about Aromahead Institute.”
How a grandmother from the Adirondacks found her most exciting accomplishment yet.
Home is in Upstate New York at the base of the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, in a small town called Mayfield. I am a wife to my wonderful husband of 32 years, a mother of 2 amazing children, and NaNa to 2 grandchildren. These are my blessings!
Becoming a Certified Aromatherapist has been my most exciting accomplishment ever! One of my goals as a Certified Aromatherapist is to spread awareness of Essential Oil safety.
I would also love to be able to help those in Hospice Care and their families. For now I will continue to blend for my family and friends.
A Big shout out of thanksto all of the staff at Aromahead Institute, I now have the knowledge to blend with and speak with confidence about essential oils.
I loved everything about Aromahead Institute. The fact that I could do the lessons at my pace and not feel pressured about learning something quickly was a big advantage to me. I would get excited at the beginning of every new lesson because I couldn't imagine what more I could possibly learn about these precious, beautiful oils.

What made the difference, in Melinda’s words.
Melinda hopes to bring what she's learned into Hospice Care one day. Here is what the certification gave her, in her own words.
Learning without pressure
As a grandmother balancing a full life, learning without pressure mattered as much as the material itself.
The fact that I could do the lessons at my pace and not feel pressured about learning something quickly was a big advantage to me.
Excited for every new lesson
Each new lesson felt like there was still more to discover, and that's what kept her coming back.

The confidence to share it
She wanted more than knowledge for herself: the tools to pass it on to others.
