Helen Keller
As an aromatherapist, I am very much aware about using the purest materials possible. Not only is it important how my products work to heal my skin but also to calm my mind and to heal my soul. The floral energy of jasmine can boost happiness and increase confidence as well as reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and anger.
Upon my visit of the San Donato farm in San Gimignano in June of 2023, this huge jasmine wall was really speaking to me.

The beginning of a new journey
How did it all start?
A few stepping stones...
​
Sint Maarten - 2016 - Tijon parfumerie
I am sure that my life changed for the better when my husband gave me a surprise gift of partaking in a 3-hour workshop on the history of perfume. These were the first steps of discovering my passion for essential oils.
We both made our own bottle and gave it a name. Mine was called:
Caribbean beauty and I still use it today.
At the end of April 2023, I finished my Foundations of Aromatherapy course (Level 1) with Jade Shutes. She is the founder and director of the School for Aromatic Studies.
As an aromatherapy practitioner, researcher and educator, Jade has been in the field for more than 3 decades and I truly believe that I am being trained by the best.
Her courses are straightforward, very well outlined and documented, and the monthly mentor session meetings are very supportive. I love to learn from my colleagues and be inspired by their approach to help others. We all inspire each other and work on the same goal and that is to support the emotional well-being of every living soul.
Jade is also very approachable as a person and I always feel guided and supported with any question I might have.
​
In the beginning of May of 2023, I got my Certificate of the course called The Carrier Oil Palette taught by Jade Shutes.
This course gave me a better understanding of the chemistry of carrier oils as well as the role lipids have in supporting the health of the skin.
​
I am currently taking the Aromatic Medicine (Level 3) course.
I finished the Anatomy and Physiology course in January 2024.
​
The Aromatics and Mental Health course (March through May 2024) I took together with 80 other people around the world is helping me support the emotional well-being of people I love and care for.
