This was my very first instructor who propelled me to move forward and get to where I am today. A brilliant woman who loved breaking down science for all and a voice for living things everywhere, she will be missed.

Honoring Andrea Butje: A Life of Love, Purpose, and Plant Wisdom

Dear Aromahead Community,

It is with full hearts that we honor the life of Andrea Butje, teacher, visionary, pioneer, and beloved founder of Aromahead Institute.

Andrea passed peacefully in her home after a brave journey, surrounded by love. Her legacy, however, is anything but quiet. It is bold, beautiful, and far-reaching.

Andrea was a force of nature. She never did anything casually. She poured her whole heart into every corner of her life. One year, she and her beloved partner Cindy decided to plant lilies around their home in upstate New York. Most would plant a few. Andrea planted hundreds. That was her way. Wholehearted. Devoted. Vibrant.

The same was true of her work with essential oils. She didn’t just learn about them. She transformed the standards of the entire field. She championed transparency in sourcing, insisting on GC/MS reports long before it was common. She advocated fiercely for sustainability and purity. She supported distillers who cared for the land and the plants as much as she did.

Andrea traveled the world to learn, to teach, and to connect. She created curriculum that empowered millions. Her voice shaped a generation of aromatherapists and will continue to shape many more to come. Her passion for teaching was unmatched. She could take the science of essential oils and make it feel personal, accessible, and alive.

But it wasn’t just the way she worked. It was the way she loved.

Andrea truly saw people. She gave her time, her presence, her encouragement. She was intuitive and spiritual, always curious about the world. She was grounded and radiant, a woman who loved to cook, to write, to laugh, and to explore. The beach and the high desert were two of her favorite places.

Most of all, she loved Cindy. In her book The Heart of Aromatherapy, she dedicated it simply and beautifully:

"For my Cindy, In this vast universe, you are my home. I love and adore you."

Andrea’s legacy lives on in every blend we make, every oil we choose with care, and every student who finds confidence and healing through this work. She changed the landscape of aromatherapy, and she changed lives.

She changed our lives.

As we process this loss together, we invite you to light a candle, diffuse your favorite essential oil, and take a moment to feel Andrea’s presence. She is in the beauty of the plants, in the intention of the work, and in the hearts of all of us who carry her spirit forward.

If you would like to join us in honoring Andrea, we invite you to share a memory, a story, or something you loved about her in this post.

In place of flowers, a donation fund will be set up in honor of Andrea. Contributions will go toward supporting causes close to the hearts of both Andrea and Cindy. Details will follow in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for being part of this community that Andrea loved so deeply.

With love and deep gratitude,
Karen and Jenny, and the entire Aromahead team

Chemistry is key when it comes to plant power 🌱🔬.

Plants work differently alone—and even better together, depending on the blend. Sometimes, two plants create a stronger effect than one. Sometimes, it’s the opposite. It all comes down to plant chemistry.

Our pain support creams, Kalo and Levo, are crafted for true synergy.

Levo is perfect for pain relief on-the-go 🚶‍♂️, while Kalo works overnight to relax and restore 🌙.

There’s more to plants than meets the eye—trust the science behind every bottle.

Do you have an herbalist on your health care team? 🌱

It’s easy to think you can go it alone, but herbs can interact with medications and even other natural products. Having a professional herbalist means you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting expert knowledge tailored to you.
Most of what you pay for is the research into your unique health needs. 🧬

Two people may come in for pain, but leave with completely different recommendations—because everyone’s body is different.

If you have a massage therapist, acupuncturist, or chiropractor, why not add an herbalist? Meredith Murdock is a Master Herbalist and Clinical Aromatherapist who offers personalized consults and custom formulations just for you. 📝
Initial consults are free—just pick a time and start your wellness journey!

The responses to the survery below have been nothing but astonishing. When you have 6 people in a room with opinions and coming from different points of view- decisions get hard. We have been getting responses from age 15-91. Your comments are invaluable and we are so very grateful. Keep them coming.

This product was made over 7 years of tweaking. Every lecture, every conference, every research paper I read brought a new aspect to it.

Your opinions are so very important and more valuable than we can even imagine.

Thank you again!

As we are getting closer and closer to launch of our new pain product, we want to ask you, our followers, which bottle design you like better.
