And, Aromatherapy is an invitation
to experience scents, smells, aromas, and odors that may be therapeutic for you
Discover more about yourself and your reaction to smells, aromas and odors
Give yourself permission to access your sense of smell. You can do this by taking a few moments a day, or as often as you can, to experience natural aromas.

Beauty and Aromas
Both inner and physical beauty require our attention to be real. Yet, we’ve grown up paying our attention outwards … to commercial ideals of beauty. Thus we think we’re not good enough as we are.
We all have many faces, and some are quite beautiful. Before we believe in ourselves, self-knowledge can increase self-confidence and a sense of our personal value. Beauty is a sacred expression of our inner selves.
Aromatherapy
Therapy with aromatic substances — Aromatherapy — is centered on the individual person, on those parts of you that recognizes smells, scents, and odors in daily life. Naturally aromatic flowers, fruits, seeds, woods, resins, roots and leaves become your guides. When this therapy is introduced to you by a qualified aromatherapist, it can become a healing modality for your sense of yourself. And as well, aromatherapy works with other holistic approaches to increase holistic and long-lasting wellness.
