Testimonials

“This was a wonderful and very informative class! Thank you so much!” Jessica Dehn, OTR/L

“I personally use essential oils to keep myself well from illness. This class has opened the door to broaden essential oils into my practice as an OT.” Christina Leuzzo, OTR/L

“Emmy’s classes are always so informative. She does thorough research and is very knowledgeable and thorough in her teachings. The Aromatherapy I course was extremely beneficial in increasing my knowledge on the use of essential oils, their applications, especially specific in treating certain conditions. It was especially important to learn various contraindications for certain populations with specific circumstances. I look forward to the Aromatherapy II course to further my education on using this beautiful approach to health and healing.” Michaele Paoli, LICSW, RYT

“I recently had the opportunity to take part in Intro to Aromatherapy with Emmy. This is not the first course that I have taken with Emmy, nor will it be the last. I have also done some distance energy healing, where Emmy helped prepare me for the birth of my third child. Emmy is an absolutely wonderful presenter with a calming aura and I am always highly engaged on whatever level of healing or teaching she is performing. The Aromatherapy class was a wonderful introduction to help me learn about where oils comes from, the benefits and uses, and allow me to incorporate their use into my practice. Prior to the course, my use was strictly for our family during times of sickness or for calming at bedtime. After taking this course, I feel confident to begin incorporating the use of essential oils into my private practice and the work that I do within the school setting. Thank you Emmy, and I look forward to a lifetime of learning with you!” Michelle Bonang, OTR/L
