Aromatherapy Level 2: Weekend Certification

Certification Paper:

Your paper should include information about where the essence is produced, something about the plant or tree from which it comes, any historical information about the essence and its use (spiritual, emotional and/or physical) that is noteworthy, and, most important, your experience with it. How have you used it (case study)…have you shared it with friends or family?? What did each person experience? Your pages can include artwork, photos, poetry -anything that inspires you. A Certificate of Achievement will be issued to all who attend both days of a workshop and pass a written exam at the end of day two.
