"I wanted to professionally deepen my knowledge of essential oils in order to create holistic therapeutic blends and share them with the world. After several searches and contacts with other schools, which did not convince me at all (lack of rigor and credibility), EOT was the one that won me over with its personalized, honest and very professional approach led by Colleen and Kelly. My dozens of questions and my continuous curiosity never tire them. They are always ready to answer with heartwarming sincerity, and help us in learning and bettering ourselves.
Now, mixing oils has become an immense pleasure. To see first hand how holistic blends do their job is the most rewarding feeling."
