This morning I tested the live video feature that's new to the Skool platform and gave a brief behind-the-scenes screenshare of my free Essential Oils and Blending course. This was just an informal walkthrough to make sure everything runs smoothly for future live sessions.

I'm interested in learning about the members of this group, so I'll occasionally ask a question to get a sense of what my group knows. No judgements at all, just interested in learning about my group.

Hello fellow Aromatherapy enthusiasts, I'm Ruxandra, a Level 1 certified Aromatherapist and AcuAroma Therapist. Currently, I am furthering my education with the Aromahead Institute, building on the foundation laid by insightful courses with Angela Sidlo, Jade Shutes, Tisserand Institute, Jennifer Wilson, and Salvatore Battaglia. My journey with essential oils began many years ago, introduced by a neighbor involved in an MLM. Although I instantly fell in love with the oils, I realized I needed a deeper understanding, especially after a memorable mishap trying to recreate a German bath salt, which led to an adverse reaction. This incident drove me to Andrea Butje's Aromahead Institute, where my real learning began. The main motivation behind my studies is my husband, a retired veteran living with PTSD. I'm eager to explore how aromatherapy can aid in his healing journey and improve our lives. Thank you for welcoming me into this group. I'm excited to learn from all of you and see what new discoveries lie ahead! Warm regards, Ruxandra

I live in Minnesota, in the Twin Cities and surprisingly do not care for winter activities. I am a certified aromatherapist from Aromahead Institute. I have a side hustle aromatherapy business where I sell products at my local famers market in the summer and a handful of expo and bazaars the rest of the year. I am probably one of the only aromatherapists you will meet that will tell you my favorite EO has not changed since the beginning, Sweet Orange. Don't get me wrong the top five has shifted a bit more but no matter what emotion is going on for m, SO is the gets me through it. I am so happy to have found this community led by Liz! I have been listening to her podcasts, following blog posts and meeting her at AIA MN convention back in 2019 when I was just starting out. She has amazing way of breaking down aromatherapy for simple every day use that does not have to be expensive. I look forward top meeting everyone here.
