Her website, which is in progress, aromarie.net is where she plans to focus on teaching aromatherapy, skin and bath care product making, soap making, among other classes all with the safe usage of essential oils. AIA has been a tremendous resource for me ever since I attended the AIA Conference of 2009! I have made so many connections, and it has helped launch me on this wonderful fragrant journey. Now I’m in a position where I want to teach everything I know to anyone who wants to learn or listen! Hence, becoming an AIA Illinois State Rep. My goal is to meet AIA members and new members of like mind to share what we know. My vision is to have regular AIA gatherings in Illinois to share aromatherapy information. |

As with most Aromatherapist her education and training is ever-growing through classes, workshops, conferences and more. Stephanie is also in the process of creating her own Aromatherapy Consulting Business Peace Be the Journey Aromatherapy where she will help to strengthen Aromatherapy as a respected complimentary medicine. “ I was first introduced to the amazing therapeutic benefits of essential oils about 10 years ago and have been in love with them ever since. At first it was just a new tool in my first aid kit but as time went on I found my life being surrounded and healed through mind body and soul with essential oils. After the arrival of my first born, Aromatherapy became a passion due to its sweet gentle nature and I could not get enough information. Since then I have been studying and becoming an active member of the Aromatherapy world. My personal vision is to make Holistic Aromatherapy wellness available to all and to share with the world the great respect essential oils deserve, as these powerful medicinal plant extracts. With this goal comes the great responsibility of educating friends, family, clients, and the public on the importance of safety and use. I am honored to be an active part of the AIA Team, and share in the vision of ‘Moving Aromatherapy Forward with Vision and Action’. Peace be the journey!” |

Terese Marie Miller 727-327-1309

Terese Marie Miller, DOM, CA In 2007 Terese co-founded Essential Elements in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Essential Elements offers Aromatherapy services, custom-blending consultations, GC/MS tested essential oils and an eco-conscience organic product line, with ongoing product development. "My personal discovery of essential oils and their power first changed my awareness for healing myself; next it impacted my ability to more fully assist my clients in their healing process. I found Aromatic Blending to be the missing link in my approach to balancing the body, mind and spirit. I love the science supporting the therapeutic use of essential oils insuring its permanent place for future usage and study. I am in awe of the time worn truths we have inherited from their rich history; and I am intrigued by the alchemical mysteries that make working with essential oils a high art.” "This is an exciting time for the movement of Aromatherapy, as the art and science together carry it to its rightful place in the evolving Medical-Healthcare model. AIA has developed a forum for this to happen in the best possible way, fulfilling a need for guidance, ethics, high standards of care as well as leadership and coopera- tion. AIA is an organization that is dedicated to developing a sharing professional community based on an open exchange of ideas and cutting edge information. It is my desire to play an active role in AIA’s vision." "As a Florida Representative for AIA, I am available to members and the public to help communicate clearly AIA’s positions as well as the benefits and advantages of membership. |

Sheryl Beller-Kenner 514-487-3162
|
Sheryl Beller-Kenner, Ed.D, CH, CAHP, RCRT, Naturopath Eastern Canada Representative Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, “A weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered”, Sheryl began her naturopathic journey by learning about the gifts of the plants, at first, from the plants themselves. Over time, she has supplemented this knowledge by having completed professional certification programs in herbology, aromatherapy and reflexology and by having taken various courses in many other types of energy work from various places in order to develop a well-rounded approach to complementary health care. For over 30 years, she has been involved in teaching and teacher training, to people of all ages and in various subjects. In addition to running her private practice, BelArôme Natural Health Centre, she currently offers introductory and professional certification courses and various workshops in aromatherapy, herbology and reflexology in and around Montreal. She is constantly working to provide educational opportunities for people in the community to learn about how complementary health care can benefit their lives. Her current areas of special interest and research are women’s and seniors’ issues in health care. These are some of the many ways in which she enjoys sharing the secrets of the plants with others. When not involved in her professional work, you can find Sheryl in her garden, tending to all of those plants that others pulled out of theirs and that, over the years, she has found growing in cracks on the sidewalk and in uninhabited places. In the belief that “If you listen, they will teach you”, there is no plant too scraggly or small or large to find a home in her garden. Let Sheryl teach you what she has learned. |
