Mike Akers
Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“I found essential oils, became obsessed with them, and now 2.5 years later, I am a Certified Aromatherapist!”
How 25 years of hard work led Mike somewhere new.
I have been a professional cleaner for 25 years. Over the summer of 2020, when we were all stuck at home for 2 months or longer during the pandemic, I was searching for an alternative to stick incense. I used it so much that the inside of my house looked like the set of “That 70’s Show”.
After 25 years of physically working hard as a Janitor, because I had no college degree, it is so amazing to be able to say to myself and mean it, I am officially educated enough to be something other than a Janitor! Very proud of myself!
I want to write an “Aromatherapy 101” type book. I like teaching people “Aromatherapy 101” because I like being a good source for new folks to come to that they can trust.
I can make and/or sell my own products, either on the side, or as a bigger business. I do wish there were aromatherapy or essential oil companies near me. I would love to be an Aromatherapist for one! I can do ALL of this if I want!
What I loved most is actually what I was dreading the most! The Case Studies! Every feedback report I got from my instructor was multiple paragraphs long just crammed with so much information, advice, and suggestions! I saved everyone and I will print them and put them in my upcoming “Aromatherapy Bible”.
What made the difference, in Mike’s words.
Mike came to the program with no college degree and left a Certified Aromatherapist. Here is what the journey looked like, in his own words.
The part he dreaded became the best part
The mentored case studies turned out to be the heart of his program.

Learning that compounds
The case-study stage taught him as much again as the coursework.
The Case Studies portion of the program was literally like a separate ACP program! That’s how much more learning I did!
Progress you can see
First report to last, the growth was right there on the page.
I looked at my very first case study report vs. my last case study report and I can see and read how far I advanced! Proud to see that!
