"My journey into aromatherapy began a few years ago with a simple tattoo of great symbolism – Breathe – and with the hope to self-heal myself.

When I was introduced to essential oils and experienced the healing powers of the plant world, I knew that I had found my passion. I decided to work towards aromatherapy certification and learn more about the healing properties of essential oils to intelligently and safely share my knowledge to help others.

After 6 months of researching schools I chose the Essence of Thyme College of Holistic Studies and it was one of the best decisions that I made in my life."

Taking the Essence of Thyme aromatherapy program was one of the best decisions of my life. I’ve always had a love for essential oils and when I found the Essence of Thyme online course I knew it was time to start my journey into the world of holistic medicine. 

Both Colleen Thompson and Kelly Ablard are fantastic teachers that have extensive aromatherapy knowledge and who care deeply about their students. 

I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in learning or furthering their education in aromatherapy.
