Learn Something New Today from Favorite Educators
I am a perpetual learner and for many years I’ve made it a personal goal to learn something new every day!
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.

Scentsational Essential Oils Series by Christine Pressler, CA
Lavender Recipes & the Plant Behind the Oil
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.
Lavender contains 125 recipes and easy ways to incorporate the Lavender essential oils, hydrosol, and herb into your life.
Essential Oils by the Seasons – Journal & Workbook
This is a journal like no other! It combines essential oil education with daily journaling by the seasons!
A Scentsations Journal & Workbook #1 includes details on 12 essential oils, dozens of recipes, blending challenges, Nature connection activities, inspirational messages, gratitude & journal prompts, and space to record your blends. Start at the beginning of the month or the equinox/solstice.
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 (ACP). I often say, my only regret is that I waited so long to enroll!
All Aromahead classes have unlimited lifetime access, meaning anytime an update is made or new information is added you will have access to that, too!

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 the 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 carrier oils and butters and focus on incorporating them into your skin care.
Restoring Skin Resilience with Susan Parker
Join Susan in her brand new course about Restoring Skin Resilience. Now open! I’ve been through the first two modules, and as usual, Susan does not disappoint!
In Restoring Skin Resilience, she shares a science-backed, lipid-based approach to supporting your skin’s natural repair functions.
Focused on botanical skin care and lipid science, Susan provides you with the information you need to truly understand and care for your skin. Here’s what you’ll get:
- 6 Modules: Susan guides you through key concepts, from skin structure to specific oil profiles.
- Detailed PDFs: Downloadable materials for easy reference.
- Oil Lists & Insights: Invaluable oil recommendations, categorized by function, ceramide support, antioxidants, and more.
- On-going Access: Lifetime access means you can learn at your own pace and revisit the lessons whenever you want a refresher.
- Go Live with Susan: Get your questions answered during TWO live sessions with Susan (first live on December 10).
SPECIAL SAVINGS! The Restoring Skin Resilience course is normally $149, but for a limited time, you can enroll for $97 (that’s a savings of $52)!
I hope to see you in the upcoming Live with Susan!
