EMPIRICAL EXPERIENCE -- 65 Years
Growing up, I was raised by my mother and grandmother using plants, herbs, essential oils and carrier oils for healing remedies and wellbeing. All my life I have had a home apothecary of God given oils, herbs and plants.
I have 65 years of Empirical knowledge of Aromatherapy as well as 40 years of nursing. My love and passion for Aromatherapy was enhanced when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 (by God’s grace, am now a survivor). I blend oils for wellbeing and health and have been gifted naturally.
As a Coach, providing individualized and tailored use of Essential Oils for the well being of all ages. This is through holistic, physical, spiritual and emotional realms. Aromatherapy for home, health, healing, yoga, meditation, spiritual enhancement, etc., have been and are provided.
