Our Aromatherapy World: Teacher Training Program
Every day, I receive emails from students and graduates who want to teach their own Aromatherapy classes, but aren’t sure how to get started. Here are a few common questions:
- How do I create class outlines and stay on schedule?
- What kinds of handouts and manuals should I make for my students?
- What blends should I teach in class?
- Is there a simple way to organize my supplies?
- What kinds of activities are fun and helpful for students?
I took all of these questions to heart, and developed an online program to help you navigate teaching your own live, in-person Aromatherapy workshops. It’s called The Aromatherapy Teacher Training Program (TTP)!
I have been training Aromatherapy teachers since 2004, and I’m so excited about the TTP because it allows me to train even more people through Aromahead’s online classroom.
The TTP includes a fully developed curriculum that you can use as is, or adapt to your needs. It includes complete, ready-to-print class outlines, manuals, essential oil datasheets, handouts and worksheets you can give to your students.
The TTP also guides you through mastering the art of teaching itself—from presenting with confidence, to working with students who have different personalities.

A Distiller Making A Difference
I want to share an exciting article about my friend Mustafa, a distiller in the Seychelles who grows cinnamon, patchouli, and coconuts!
Mustafa recently renovated his production facility, and the publication Seychelles News Agency took notice:
“In the 1970s, plantations were the main driver of the economy of the Seychelles, a group of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean. At the time around 33 percent of the island nation’s workforce was employed on plantations. With the opening of the airport, the plantation industry dwindled and and today it is nearly nonexistent except for one entrepreneur who has not given up…”
Mustafa is dedicated to reviving the Seychelles’ cinnamon industry, which once supported the islands’ economy, to re-introducing patchouli to the islands, and is branching out to produce coconut oil as well.
I have visited Mustafa, and he’s such an inspiring person! Aromahead and Aromatics International are even helping to fund his coconut production facility. The products he creates there will be sold under his brand “Tropeko.” I love that we can come together to support Mustafa in his work, and that his work in turn supports the people and the economy of the Seychelles . . . and then, of course, I’m looking forward to using his beautiful coconut oil! (Can we call that a win-win-win situation?)

Business Tip: Quick
Quick is a fun app that makes it easy to take a picture you love, and then put professional looking text over the image.
Quick has a short video (one minute long...it’s so “quick!”) that shows you exactly how the app works in action. You can see how easy it is to add text to an image, change the font, color, size, and position of the text, and then share the image with your followers on social media. They’ve even listed a lot of suggestions for how people like to use their app, such as “Review a meal,” “Keep ingredients,” and “Promote an event.”
Here’s their website so you can see if Quick is for you!
Aromahead Video: Bye Bye Stress Inhaler
Use Aromatherapy to reduce stress with this easy-to-make inhaler that fits right in your pocket!
Aromatherapy inhalers are so convenient. An inhaler consists of a piece of cotton that holds the essential oil, and a small “sleeve” to hold the cotton (the size of a lip balm tube). You can take your inhaler out and use it to reduce stress anytime you like. Nobody smells the essential oils but you.
Watch this video to learn the recipe!
I hope the ideas in this newsletter have you feeling more relaxed already!
Love,
Andrea
