First the obvious: I am a teacher and have written Foundations in Aromatherapy Level I ,an aromatherapy course which far exceeds the standards set up for a Level I Course, and I am presently working on the Level II  Aromatherapy Course. I have also written ebooks on Aromatherapy. Also published the Book “Ailments & Alternatives in Aromatherapy” a handy desk reference for aromatherapy. Some people spell this aroma-therapy. Just a brief bio on who I am. My name is Sharron Myers and I am a Certified Aromatherapist. I am the owner of Serene Aromatherapy and also do consulting. I have studied Essential Oils and Aromatherapy since 1991, although I was always interested in Alternative Healing. I have my diploma in Floristry and Flower Arranging also, this is probably why I love flowers and their essences so much. I was also published in the American Massage Therapist Association Magazine in their Winter 2000 Issue. I was asked by them to write an article especially for massage therapist so I wrote a large 2 page article entitled “Adding Power to Your Petrisage”.  This was a special edition about Tools of the Trade for massage therapists. I’ll get a scan of it and put it up on the net one of these days. I love to sing and play music, piano, keyboard, organ and accordion. I was the worship leader at our local church for many years and also a guest soloist and speaker at many local venues here in Chateauguay, Quebec. We live on the South Shore of Montreal. So, that makes me Canadian eh? So I suppose that is enough about me. Thanks for stopping by.

I know, I know, you are all thinking “Of course, she is going to talk about the how great aromatherapy courses are! She wrote one!”

But really, even if I were not a certified Aromatherapist I would still suggest you take an aromatherapy course. I obviously did, but perhaps for different reasons than you would choose.

There IS a lot of information available on the internet in regards to aromatherapy but not all of it is truthful.

In fact, there are actually some very dangerous practices going on that a newbie to aromatherapy would think is perfectly fine.

By taking a good aromatherapy course you would know what is safe and what is dangerous when it comes to using essential oils.

Perhaps you only want to dabble in aromatherapy for personal pleasure. Should you take an aromatherapy course if that is your only desire? Definitely yes!

Would you really like to find out that you did something dangerous when applying essential oils to yourself or your family?

Taking an aromatherapy course will allow you to find out how to use essential oils effectively and safely. An aromatherapy course can give you ideas on how to use aromatherapy in ways you may not have considered before.

You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good aromatherapy course. You don’t need to become a certified Aromatherapist in order to enjoy the benefits of an aromatherapy course either.

Here are just a few examples of why an aromatherapy course would be good for you to take:
• There is misleading information on the Internet
• Essential oils can be toxic. You need to know the contraindications of these oils.
• An aromatherapy course will save you a lot of time and error
• You will learn which essential oils are best for various symptoms
• You will learn which oils are best to use on children and the elderly
• You will be able to be a more knowledgeable caregiver to your aging parents
• A good Aromatherapy Course will teach you which oils are good for men, young women, older women, children, and the elderly

So, should You take an aromatherapy course? Definitely Yes!
Remember, Aromatherapy courses are not just for aromatherapists. Be informed and take an aromatherapy course so that you can safely and effectively use essential oils for yourself and for your family.
