Learn Something New Today from Mom’s Favorite Educators
I am a perpetual learner and for many years I’ve made it a personal goal to learn something new everyday!
I’ve taken at least a few courses from each of the educators below. Most of them offer lifetime access. This is something I really appreciate, since it seems that each time I login for a refresher, I learn something that I missed the first time around! Some are affiliates, some are not. Either way, I hope you’ll take advantage of their knowledge share.

Lavender: Lavender Recipes & the Plant Behind the Oil
As the title says, my newly published book is all about Lavender!
This first book in my Scentsational Essential Oils series is full of information about types of Lavender, its history, and its use in aromatherapy, skin care, crafting, cooking, and herbalism.
And of course, no book of mine would be complete without loads of recipes! Yep! 125 recipes and easy ways to incorporate Lavender essential oils, hydrosol, and herb into your life.
Lavender is available at
- My Etsy Shop (signed paperback, US)
- Amazon (paperback & Kindle Unlimited, International).
Aromahead Institute
Aromahead Institute is one of the world’s leaders in Aromatherapy and essential oil education. They offer classes ranging from an introduction to Natural Living all the way to Level 3 Aromatherapy Certification. They also offer a whole slew of 1-3 hour workshops where they focus on one particular issue or plant.
I have personally taken nearly every course Aromahead has to offer and this is where I received my Aromatherapy Certification.

The Lipid Oils Academy
For years Susan Parker has researched and worked with lipid “carrier” oils. When so much focus is on essential oils, Susan has made it her goal to put some of that limelight on these beautiful and skin-nourishing plant oils.
I consider her The Lipid Oil Expert and recommend her book Power of the Seed and her courses whenever I can.
Power of the Seed is available on Amazon. (Read Mom’s Review.)
With consumers becoming more aware of the impact synthetics can have on their skin, there’s a definite move towards waterless skin care products. Now’s the time to learn about the lipid oils and focus on incorporating them into your skin care.
