    Hi Kathy,

    It looks like you are starting a school… I am wondering if there is a way that we can collaborate. I am working on a project in Luck, WI. I teach here and in the NE. Please take a look at our website (http://serpentine-project.org) and let me know if you think there is some potential.

    Hi Kathy…we met years ago at JCC in a Holistic Class-Instructor Zelda. You have made me some wonderful and powerfully healing aromatherapy blends as well as tinctures. I have used aromatherapy since the 70′s and share it with others daily. I use it in my class room and have since started a small business: 6 Sense by: Volpe’. I am interested in a certification in Aromatherapy. I currently live in Louisville, KY and teach therefore it is impossible for me to leave my position at this time. Can you recommend a credible study that could be done on-line, books, and/or courses that would help me to broaden my knowledge of Aromatherapy. Also, I am currently using  Aura Cacia Essential Oils to in developing my blends- what company or oils would you recommend.
    Thanks,
    Dianne Volpe

    will you again offer a free basic class on aromatherapy similar to the one you just offered at the Pinney Library? if so, please provide details. Thanks.

    Hello!  Thanks for asking. Whether I do another class there is up to the library.   I do periodically give other talks and classes in the community. There is one coming up at Olbrich Gardens Nov. 5th at 9:30 am.  It is for the Madison Herb Guild and will be about the basics of herbal medicine.  If you’re interested in more library classes, I recommend making your request to them.  Warm wishes, Kathy
