The component blending class is incredible. I learned more about the conifer oils than I ever thought possible and now have 2 new favorite oils, Siberian fir, and pinon pine. This class along with the Aromatherapy Certification Program has really increased my understanding of essential oil chemistry. I now feel completely comfortable blending from a component perspective. The class has brought a deeper understanding to my work as an aromatherapist and massage therapist, and I know my clients will be able to tell the difference.

Karen Williams

Hi, my name is Karen Williams. As a professional aromatherapist, I love to create amazing blends that inspire and promote a healthier lifestyle. I got my start many years ago as a registered nurse working in the hospital system. But along the way I knew something was missing. I wanted to help people more holistically. Then, I discovered essential oils, and my approach to life changed forever. Now, I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve learned about aromatherapy with my friends, family, and the world. Because - life is so much better with health, happiness, and community.
