Aromatherapy Recipes Using Pure Essential Oils Volume 1
Born in Northeastern Minnesota and raised along the Blackhoof river area of Carlton County. I have always loved nature. And living along the river where wild life is very abundant was and is very dear to me. Both the animal and plant world thrive along this trout stream. I spent much of my youth exploring along this river.  As a child I loved cute furry animals and during high school had several 'wild' critters as pets. My love for animals and also for writing was sparked after raising a 'woodchuck' for the summer. My first short story was "A Pet for the Summer." and was all about this woodchuck.  The love of animals and in particularly dogs continued as I pursued a degree in Veterinary Technology. For 30 years I worked as a Veterinary Technician.  I married my Best friend, Al, in 1975. We designed & built a beautiful home near where I was raised. My husband, Al, and I raised 3 wonderful sons.  Oh & before I forget we have 4 grandchildren and 6 grand dogs!  Al became very interested in Aromatherapy and the use of Essential oils.  Soon, I too, developed an interest in these beautiful natural gifts provided by Mother Nature herself.  Together we started a business selling essential oils for therapeutic applications.  I learned how to write 'html' and created an extensive website.  I completed a course offered by Medical Aromatherapy Training Services in the United Kingdom & received my Certificate in Advanced Clinical Aromatherapy in April 2008 passing with distinction!   The Recipes in my first book came from the hundreds of articles I have written about aroma therapy for my husbands’ business website, Birch Hill Happenings Aromatherapy LLC, (http://www.birchhillhappenings.com) for our customers & from consultations. They were created to help those choosing to use essential oils responsibly & safely as a complimentary regimen for their health and well-being.  Since I have written hundreds of articles over the years I decided it is time to compile these articles into useful guides and books for the dozens of health concerns they were written.  And to put them into easy to read reference material to help those looking for complementary health modalities that come from "Mother Nature".  I hope you will find my books filled with the helpful information and guidance that you seek.  Penny
