About Heather Scent Aromatherapy

Professional Stuff
After suffering a personal loss in December 2004, a close friend gave me a gift certificate for an aroma-massage. I’d had therapeutic massages in the past, and didn’t expect an aroma-massage to be much different. Boy, was I wrong! The practitioner put me at ease immediately with her warm and caring demeanour. The massage itself was incredible – I felt so relaxed and nurtured. It was almost an out-of-body experience.
I’d always had an inclination towards alternative forms of health care, but that treatment really sparked my interest. I began receiving aroma-massage as often as possible – roughly every 6 weeks. After a year had passed, I noticed that I had hardly been sick at all since I started seeing an aromatherapist. In the fall of 2005, I became pregnant, and continued to receive massage throughout my entire pregnancy (both aroma and therapeutic). My CAHP gave me a special blend to use on my belly, which I carefully massaged in each night before bed. As a result, I came away from my pregnancy with no stretch marks at all.
I began reading every book about Aromatherapy and Herbalism that I could get my hands on. In September 2007, I decided to formalize my education and began an aromatherapy certification program.
In March of 2008, I opened an on-line shop at Etsy.com, where I sell aromatherapy and essential oil products.
I received my certification in Aromatherapy from the Joyessence Aromatherapy Centre in August 2009.
I plan to take the necessary exams to receive my Certified Aromatherapy Health Professional (CAHP) designation from the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists in March 2010.
Fun Stuff
I love Pepsi!
and felt food.
and clay miniatures.
and sleeping in.
and staying up late.
and eating dill pickle chips dipped in sour cream.
I’m a little bit snarky sometimes.  Love me anyway!
About that picture up there:  Yes, those are giant sunglasses.  Like the kind a person wears after they have had eye surgery.  You see, I have super light-sensitive eyes.  It’s the curse of being a light-eyed person  (That’s my eye over there on the left).   Before I found my old-lady sunglasses, I would get a headache the instant I walked out into the sun.  Now I only get headaches when my kids stall at bedtime.
