Welcome
In this first day, we lay the foundation for essential oils as a tool for healing, and our collective need for all the tools to come forward right now as we go through this massive collective transformation.

My Story
Today we'll go over the two powerful experiences I had that brought me to work with essential oils more regularly, and begin teaching about them, as I never intended to do. I hope this information opens you up two understanding more about your body and the powerful healing available to you.
Les 3
How To Use Oils
Today we'll discuss the three ways to use oils: topically, aromatically, and internally. I offer tips for how to resource oils, benefits of using them and what to watch for to make sure you are getting the highest and best quality.
Les 4
The Science
Today we'll talk about the science behind essential oils so you begin to understand the WHY behind the WHAT. When you get the mechanism behind how they work, it will be easier to lean in and trust the messages the oils have for you, and understand why you might want to employ them in your personal practice.
Les 5
Trinity Oils
Today we begin to dive into specific oils with the trinity oils: frankincense, myrrh and rose. These have come to me intuitively after working with these oils for years both individually and together as a complete trinity.
Les 6
Geranium
Today we move on to Geranium, the oil of Love and Trust. We are working from the inside out here, from core wounding to the impact that wounding has on our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and heart bodies.
Les 7
Ylang Ylang
Today we move further out from the center of core wounds to Ylang Ylang, the oil of the inner child. We see here how the inner child gets impacted and forgets to play when our core inner trauma has not been supported, and Ylang Ylang comes in to offer support here.
Les 8
Cedarwood
Today we move on to Cedarwood, the oil of community and belonging. Regardless of previous wounding, I think we all struggle with belonging from time to time. This one has a really beautiful enveloping smell that directly brings us to a feeling of being held and included.
Les 9
Black Spruce
Today we introduce another tree oil, Black Spruce, the oil of stability. Stability is the next energy and emotion that gets impacted when community doesn't feel available and the access to the inner child gets lost.
Les 10
Bergamot
Bergamot is the first citrus oil that gets introduced to bring in the emotion of self acceptance. Citrus oils are all mood elevating, so Bergamot attunes us with the information that when we don't accept ourselves or have access to the more joyful, uplifting emotions, we start to cut ourselves off from our own sweetness.
Les 11
Lavender
Today we move on to Lavender, the oil of communication and calm, the absolutely necessary step to calming the nervous system and regaining areas in the body that are unsettled or disrupted so you can move into deeper spiritual work.
Les 12
Patchouli
Today we move on to Patchouli, the oil of physicality. As all things must balance, in order to go into higher states of consciousness, we must also go down and into the body to gain access to those states. This oil delineates across the threshold from the deeper traumatic states, to the lighter and easier to work with oils and energy.
Les 13
Grapefruit
Today we move on to Grapefruit, the oil of honoring the body. Now that we are deeply rooted in the healing process, lighter energies can be accessed. But, and, also, it is important to acknowledge that if going into the harder spaces is more difficult for you, it's ok to start further out with the lighter oils and lighter emotions.
Les 14
Peppermint
Today we move on to Peppermint, the oil of the buoyant heart. If joy is difficult to access, and heaviness weighs on the heart, this is a good oil to work with to alleviate that discomfort. However, it's important not to use to the point of avoiding emotions as that will set your healing process backwards.
Les 15
Orange
Today we move on to Orange, the oil of abundance. Even as orange's smell is abundant, so it teaches us the lesson of overflowing. We are already abundant. We already overflow, if we can remember that and root that into our system.
Les 16
Lime
Today we go over the last oil together with Lime, zest for life. This light-hearted oil support us in celebrating life and finding the joy that allows us to appreciate life and revel in this journey. If going to those deeper oils is more challenging, this may be a powerful to work with to start pulling back the layers.
Les 17
Conclusion
We wrap up our journey together and review what we've learned in this walk through discovering the healing power of essential oils, from the deepest core wounds of the break in the trinity, outward to easier and lighter emotions. I invite you to work with these oils in whatever way you feel most drawn, and let the oils call you towards them directly.
