Aromatherapy Skincare: Your skin is bombarded by intense environmental aggressors every day. Combating these factors by using ordinary products can leave your skin vulnerable and possibly harm your internal health. To use natural products made for your individual needs is the only way to ensure that you have the best care possible for your unique skin type. You will learn what essential oils and natural ingredients you can use to improve your skin's texture and appearance while also nourishing your skin and protecting it from future damage. At the end of class you will create your own face wash, toner or moisturizer custom-suited to your needs!
When: Saturday, May 16th 11 -2 pm, To register: click here.


Spring Cleaning with Natural Aromatherapy Products: Do you want to "go green" with your household products, but are you confused about the information in the media and stores? We'll discuss popular products and what's in them, from cosmetics to cleaners to dog shampoo and baby cream. You will learn about the anti-microbial properties of essential oils which make them safer for your home and family. You will have the ability to create your own custom-tailored household products to address all your individual needs at the end of our class together.
When: Saturday, June 6th 9 - 11am, To register: click here.


Using Scent and Movement in Chakra Healing: Learn to use Yoga and Essential Oils on the path of discovering and balancing your 7 main chakras, or energy centers, for greater health and well-being. Certified Aromatherapist, Carol Walter, and Certified Yoga Instructor, Autumn Needles, will gently guide you through the benefits of essentials oils and a variety of yoga poses and meditations as they relate to chakra healing and balancing. Current yoga instructors, massage therapists looking to add a different dimension to their essential oil knowledge, reflexologists, ayurvedic healers, or anyone doing healing work can expect to learn new tools or to deepen their personal and professional practice. Anyone who has had exposure to yoga, essential oils or chakras, and is curious about learning more, is welcome to attend and learn! We believe that the energy created in the workshop itself will aid anyone who's interested in helping to deepen their understanding of these healing practices.

Stressed Out Parent? Try an aromatic Bath with Essential Oils!


A fellow blogger recently wrote a good blog post about being a stressed out parent and it was very pertinent to the current state of being for many of us. She was very practical and tested out a number of different stress-relieving techniques to determine what might work best for her.

I noticed that she utilized all 5 senses:
Hear - listening to her favorite tunes
Smell - aromatherapy
Touch & See - get outside and go for a walk in nature

I would have added:
Taste - eat your favorite food!

I asked her which essential oils she utilized and suggested the following for busy parents in an aromatic bath (giving you some down time too):

"I would recommend an oil for grounding (red thyme or ginger), an oil for self-love (ylang ylang or geranium), and depending on what else is going on for you perhaps an oil for inspiration (fennel or sweet orange)!!!"

Thanks for your practical advice Jana!
