I received a phone call a month ago from my instructor, mentor and friend Jade Shutes at The School for Aromatic Studies asking me if I wanted to run for a national (well, global now) office for NAHA. I said sureโฆso Iโm running for treasurer because why not? I would love to make a positive living difference! ๐
NAHA is in charge of accrediting aromatherapy schools and aromatherapists in the US and other countries along with supporting and funding scientific research on essential oils.
Iโm excited (and a tad nervous) to be on this journey. We have a live q&a coming up next month via Zoom with all the members so I hope I can keep up! ๐
No, you canโt vote for me unless you are a member but please send me out your choice of good energy, vibes, or prayers. ๐ฅฐ
