🎉 Celebrating 25 Years of Heart-Centered Aromatherapy: Introducing the BelArôme WholeHeart Aromatherapist™ Program

This year marks 25 years since the founding of BelArôme — a quarter-century of guiding individuals, students, and practitioners into deeper healing through the power of plant wisdom and presence.

And today, in celebration of this milestone, I’m thrilled to introduce something that has been years in the making…

A program that brings together everything I’ve learned, witnessed, and helped others transform over the past two and a half decades:

🌿 The science of essential oils

🧘 The emotional depth of practitioner presence

💖 The lived experience of inner healing

✨ And now, a safe, supported space where learning becomes embodiment

This is the BelArôme WholeHeart Aromatherapist™ Program — and it’s the most evolved version of my work to date.

📜 A Program 25 Years in the Making

When I first began teaching aromatherapy, the world was different. The pace, the expectations, the stress… all simpler in ways we didn't fully realize.

Over the years, my work grew — not only in knowledge, but in depth. I taught hundreds of students. Sat with thousands of clients. Wrote case studies. Designed curriculum. And every time I thought I was “done,” something new would emerge — another layer of the healing process that wanted to be witnessed, held, or integrated.

And then came 2020.

Like many, I watched the world stop. But beneath the chaos, something else was happening: a profound re-evaluation of what matters.

People weren’t just stressed. They were untethered. Disconnected from self. Disoriented from their bodies. And deeply in need of practitioners who could do more than deliver information — they needed practitioners who could offer safety, resonance, and healing presence.

That moment shifted everything. And it was the final catalyst for this program's full evolution.

💖 Why the WholeHeart Space Matters Now More Than Ever

The BelArôme WholeHeart Aromatherapist™ Program is now more than a certification course — it’s a complete system of professional and personal transformation.

At its center is the WholeHeart Space™ — a dedicated sanctuary for those walking the path of healing, holding space, and showing up with presence.

Why did I create it?

Because in 25 years of training practitioners, I’ve learned this truth again and again:

💬 “It’s not what you know — it’s who you are while you’re doing it.”

Most aromatherapy programs focus only on technical training. But modern healing work is complex, layered, and emotionally demanding. Practitioners don’t just need formulas — they need fortitude. They need spaces to integrate what they’re learning, process what they’re holding, and grow into the practitioner they were meant to be.

The WholeHeart Space was born out of that need.

🏡 What Is the WholeHeart Space™?

It’s not a Facebook group. It’s not a forum. It’s not an afterthought.

The WholeHeart Space™ is a living extension of the program — a curated, intentional support system designed to:

• Offer guided emotional work for students and practitioners

• Provide tools for nervous system regulation and personal alignment

• Create real-time opportunities for reflection, integration, and presence-building

• Hold community in a grounded, nourishing way

Inside the WholeHeart Space, there are two core zones:

🌸 The Inner Sanctuary

A gentle, reflective space to support emotional healing, nervous system integration, and practitioner sustainability. With monthly themes, guided resources, and space for dialogue, this is where students explore the inner world that supports their outer work.

Topics include:

• Burnout recovery and energetic boundaries

• Imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and confidence

• HeartMath®, guided meditations, breath work, and journaling

• Embodiment, listening, and presence as practitioner tools

🌿 The Herbal Oasis

A vibrant community for students to deepen their knowledge of essential oils, share blending experiences, explore theory, and stay inspired. This is the space for aromatic exploration, professional development, and playful connection.

Both of these zones support what I believe is the most powerful part of the WholeHeart approach:

💫" Becoming the practitioner your clients truly need — starting with how you support yourself."

📚 What You'll Receive in the WholeHeart Aromatherapist™ Program

This program still offers everything you’d expect from an advanced-level aromatherapy certification:

• A 500-hour in-depth curriculum on essential oil chemistry, clinical application, safety, and ethics

• Training in both energetic and evidence-based practices

• Integration of emotional, spiritual, and somatic healing

• Case study work, mentorship, and real-world readiness

But the soul of the program? That lives inside the WholeHeart Space™.

Because after 25 years of teaching, I know this:

"If you’re going to do this work — the deep, beautiful, life-changing work of aromatherapy — you need to be supported as a whole person."

🧬 A New Generation of Aromatherapists

We are entering a new era in holistic healing. Clients are more trauma-aware, more discerning, and more energetically sensitive. And practitioners need more than a certificate — they need tools for emotional resilience, authenticity, and embodied leadership.

That’s what the BelArôme WholeHeart Aromatherapist™ Program was built to offer.

And on this 25th anniversary of BelArôme, I couldn’t be prouder to finally offer this evolved path — one that honors both the legacy of this work, and the future it’s stepping into.

We begin our new program on August 24. You’re invited to walk this next chapter with us.
