Comment by Jackie McLaughlin, LMT, MTI on July 31, 2009 at 2:50pm: I'm taking a certification course from the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy. The curriculum is authored by Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D., and authority in the field.

Comment by Laura Robson on July 31, 2009 at 1:40pm: Hi Rene,
Where are you doing your certification course? Am interested in it myself so I have been looking around. Anyone, any comments on online courses please let me know your thoughts.

Comment by Rene Roberto on July 31, 2009 at 11:41am: I recently started my Certification in Aromatherapy course. Have been practicing it together with Lomi-Lomi and CranioSacral. Found it to be a great combinations to take care of body, mind and emotions.

Comment by Donna D on July 25, 2009 at 8:31pm: Hello All! I have always enjoyed Aromatherapy since my first massage where it was part of my session. Normally I charge clients more when I incorporate it with a massage however, lately I just include it as part of the session as I am finding clients are coming with higher levels of stress and it helps bring about a calming factor. I would rather include then not.

To the question regarding what can be used as a mosquito/bug repellent, I use Lavender either in the form of an oil or liquid/bar soap when bathing. Mosquito/bugs are attracted to the sweat we expell when outside during summer season. When I know I am going to be outside for a length of time, I carry either a small container of the oil or liquid soap and will "refresh" myself with it from time to time to keep the bugs away. Hope this helps!

Comment by Laura Genoway on July 25, 2009 at 12:17pm: Hello! In 1994, I earned certification as an aromatherapist and co-founded an apothecary style, aromatherapy boutique, Sabia, in Austin, Texas where I educated the public daily on the therapeutic uses of essential oils, herbs and flower essences for more than 8 years.

I now live in northern California where I have a private practice as an Intuitive Consultant, Energy Medicine Practitioner and Aromatherapist.

Comment by Exie Buehler on July 11, 2009 at 9:01pm: Hi everyone! I've had my own practice for 5 1/2 years and love to incorporate aromatherapy massage in my sessions! I frequently use special blends for my fibromyalgia clients and clients who are in labor. I enjoy learning about new EO's and their properties and uses.
