Think
Love Liz Fulcher! I’m a NAHA certified holistic aromatherapist and Liz's’ podcast always offers me new perspectives and ways to look at the world of aromatherapy. I have a very active mind and I find listening to her podcasts on my drive allows me the opportunity to focus on my professional development. Her base of experience she speaks from is extensive and I absolutely love her voice. She is consistent in her show structure and offers great resources in her show notes. I often find myself connecting with her experiences and literally laughing out loud and having really just a fun time listening to Liz.
So informative!
Thank you Liz, I have learned so much about aromatherapy on this podcast! I am studying aromatherapy but this is so great to listen to while driving. You have a great way of explaining everything! Can you please do more deep dives into different oils?
Love this podcast!
I love the Aromatic Wisdom podcast. In each episode, I learn something new about essential oils and aromatherapy. Liz’s education and experience in the aromatherapy field make for rich content delivered in a way that is personalized and easy to understand. Listening to her makes me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. I especially love the “smell my life” segment. The episodes are short enough to listen to on my commute to work, but I often listen again so I can go back and take notes. Whether you are a “newbie” or a seasoned aromatherapist, this podcast will have something for you.
