Willow Ries

Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate
🌱 Certified Aromatherapist

Everything I have ever learned at Aromahead is rooted in science first, no fluff.

Their story

How chronic pain led Willow from herbalism to aromatherapy.

I have always had a deep connection to the plants around me, through that connection I found herbalism and from there I fell down the rabbit hole of aromatherapy.

As someone living with chronic pain and C-PTSD, I want to share everything I have learned with others in the hopes of showing how a holistic lifestyle can bring balance to feelings of chaos.

What they're building

Rooted in my Strength

At Rooted in My Strength, clients can find the tools they deserve to support their holistic goals. From custom-made blends to a fully personalized program, all clients can expect high-quality aromatherapy services from a certified aromatherapist.

I'm going to take all I have learned and apply it to a holistic program to help my clients build habits that will better support their goals for their lifestyle.

Where do I start? Everything I have ever learned at Aromahead is rooted in science first, no fluff. The educators clearly know their craft very well. If I had to choose one thing to rave about, I'd have to talk about the chemistry lessons! How students are walked through all the chemical families involved in the lessons and given an easy-to-understand guide to how chemistry is involved in aromatherapy is truly breathtaking.
