🌷🧺INTERVIEW WITH AMERICAN AROMATHERAPIST, EDUCATOR, NAHA PRESIDENT ANNETTE DAVIS🧺🌷
By Ildikó Berecz

🌷🧺What is your first memory about your first contact with essential oils?
From a very young age, I remember essential oil bottles around the house. We lived in Idaho while my grandmother was in California, so she would send us a package every time she brought new oils home from Europe. She would sneak them onto the airplane, hidden in wine bottles in her suitcase! I was fascinated by those little blue bottles and loved how they smelled, though I didn't yet understand what role they would play in my life. My most vivid early experience came during a trip to San Diego. My grandmother loved taking us to the beach, and my brother and I spent far too long boogie boarding. I became quite ill with sunstroke, but Grandma made a blend with melissa essential oil, diluted as a spritzer and foot bath. I started feeling better almost immediately. That was the moment I thought, "Wow, these essential oils Grandma is always tinkering with are pretty amazing."

🌷🧺What do you think about the bridge between allopathic and alternative (complementary) medicine?
This bridge is essential and growing stronger. My work with Dr. Lapraz and Dr. Bokelmann demonstrated that clinical phyto-aromatherapy can be used along- side conventional medicine to dramatically improve patient outcomes. The establishment of EIMC, in cooperation with Idaho State University's medical residency program, demonstrated that integration is possible within academic medicine.

🌷🧺What would be your tips for a new or upcoming aromatherapist new to the field?
Don't try to run before you can crawl. In other words, don't be so overzealous that you try to do things beyond your current knowledge base. Start slowly, educate yourself thoroughly, and proceed at a pace that makes you feel comfortable practicing safely.
