This is so exciting!

I’ve been wanting to go to Robert Tisserand’s skin care classes, but with young children I find it difficult to travel. I am thrilled about these webinars because now I can gain expertise without leaving my house!

The Complete Skin Series will be available in six weeks, but you can pre-order now and save $200! You will get your own login to Tisserand Institute (launching September 1st!) with access to 9 videos which will release once per week beginning August 31st. No previous knowledge of aromatherapy or essential oils is needed.

Each of the nine segments comes with a 45 minute video and a PDF with detailed notes and links to evidence-based scientific research. Invaluable!

You will have indefinite access to these videos - an excellent point to make, as you will want to watch and re-watch these webinars, learning something new each time. Essential for not only aromatherapists and massage therapists, but research junkies and moms like myself. Pretty much anyone with skin

This is an excellent opportunity that I will be accepting!

This webinar series encapsulates years of Robert Tisserand’s own study and extensive research. If you have his book, Essential Oil Safety (2nd edition), you will know he is very thorough!

Key features of this webinar:

• full explanations of which oil to use, how much, and why
• before and after pictures of healing action so you can see the therapeutic potential of essential oils first hand
• Clinical evidence and other research ‘translated’ into easy to understand language so you can incorporate new information directly into your blending or practice…

…along with the (almost) 7 hours of webinar material, notes for each webinar, and more than 200 clickable links to scientific research for further exploration

Here are the 9 webinar titles, along with highlights from each webinar… (download the pdf here)
