My Journey into Becoming a Clinical Aromatherapist
In 2008, Dr. Richard Twiss laid hands on me and said I needed to press into my heritage as an Afro-Indigenous person. Those words launched me on a journey of ethnic identity that included learning how my people, both the African ancestors and the Choctaw ones, helped people by engaging the land around them.

Why Christians Should Use Aromatherapy
For too long has the field of aromatherapy been relegated to spiritualists and practitioners of the New Age Movement. The truth is aromatherapy has been a part of God's design for worship since the beginning of worship.
The Enlightenment robbed us of something important in worship: the unity of all our senses. The elevation of the mind over sight, touch, taste, and smell made our ability to worship anaemic. But the reality is God...

Aromatherapy Explorations #1
When we walk in the woods skincare protection is all around us. We just have to see it.
As I walked down the trail and noticed the flowers pressing hard to reclaim the path space, I wondered "what is that good for?" So as I am apt to do nowadays, I whipped out my plant identification app (because I am an herbalist at heart) and snapped a quick picture of the plant. The winner today: Goldenrod! Now, I know Goldenrod gets a bad wrap for...
