About me:

I am a scientist finishing my PhD in Cell Biology. I study the genomic and karyotypic changes that occur in evolution and speciation. While finishing my PhD, I've learned that relaxation exercises, physical exercise, and essential oils form a great complement to my traditional treatments for chronic pain and anxiety disorder. I decided to further my study of essential oils with Aromahead Institute and am so happy to have finished my aromatherapy certification. What makes me distinct from other essential oil enthusiasts and sales people is that my PhD and scientific training allows me to understand the chemical aspects of aromatherapy. I enjoy combining my extensive benchwork in the lab with what I've learned about aromatherapy and home remedies.

What I loved about Aromahead:

I really appreciate learning the science of aromatherapy and like that Aromahead is able to integrate this information. I've investigated other schools that are less scientific and those were not good fits for me.

"Petrichor" is the pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather; the smell of dust after rain. ——————————————————————————————————————— Mission My mission is to combine my scientific training with clinical aromatherapy training, in order to help others. As someone with chronic pain, an anxiety disorder, and difficulty relaxing, I know first hand how useful essential oils can be alongside "traditional" therapies.
