Very challenging, but a huge source of learning for me
Eric M.,

I found the course really interesting, I loved it. I will reread the text and use it as a resource often I am sure.
J. Chapman,

Very interesting information to add to the knowledge from all the programs.
P. Keough,
Newfoundland
This course was very important and informative. There was a lot of things that I didnt knew about aromatherapy, mostly how certain plants/oils are can be toxic in high doses and that some are not suitable for children. Aromatherapy was the subject I needed the most information on because i knew little about it but this course expanded my knowledge about this amazing therapy. This is a very well made course. Thanks!
Samantha Allain,
