Diffuser blend ….. 💚💜

The shift into September is more than a turn of the calendar. It’s a change you can feel in the air. Cooler evenings, softer light, and the quiet call to slow down. 🍂

This month’s diffuser blend is designed to capture that transition.
3 drops Cedarwood: the grounding calm of tall evergreens
2 drops Bergamot: a bright lift to balance autumn’s heaviness
1 drop Frankincense: resinous depth that invites stillness

Add to your diffuser, breathe deeply, and let this blend anchor you as you step into the rhythm of the season. 🌿

When you understand the science: Chemistry and physiology, aromatherapy is safe for our furry friends. 💜

Did you know our furry companions can benefit from the power of aromatherapy too? But to truly support their well-being, we need to rethink how we approach their care. 🐶🐱
⠀
Instead of seeing animals just as patients or recipients, let’s recognize them as sensitive, sentient beings who deserve holistic support, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Aromatics can play a beautiful role in that. But here’s the thing: animals don’t perceive scents the way we do. What smells lovely to us might be too intense, or even harmful, for them.⠀
⠀
That’s why knowledge matters. Understanding their unique sensitivities and preferences is essential. Always choose pure and natural extracts and botanicals, dilute them properly, and work with someone trained in animal aromatherapy or holistic pet care.
⠀
Or better yet, become that expert yourself! Our Animal Aromatherapy Certification Course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to safely and effectively support animals with aromatics. ❤️
⠀
You’ll dive into the world of aromatherapy from an animal’s perspective and learn how to create safe, tailored blends that truly support their wellness.

The science of aromatherapy is so interesting 💜

🌿 Did you know your sense of smell is deeply connected to your emotions and memories? This connection makes it a powerful tool for navigating the complex emotions of grief.

Aromas are processed by the limbic system, the part of your brain that governs emotions and memories.

This is why certain aromas, like lavender, can calm you, while others might evoke cherished moments with a loved one.

Aromatherapy works with these natural pathways, helping you find balance and peace during challenging times.

💡 Do you want to explore this further?

Join our course, “Easing Emotions of Grief Through the Sense of Smell,” and discover how aromatherapy can support your healing journey.

🕒 Registration closes December 31st, so don’t wait!

Priced at $250 CAD (approx. $175 USD), our program offer an exceptional value, especially considering favorable conversion rates for international students.
