Cha is a LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) and a Holistic Aromatherapist. Cha brings years of aromatherapy education and teaching experience to AromaEducators and is enthusiastic and passionate about her vision and dedicated to bringing awareness, and practical hands-on use in her classes. As part of the teaching staff at the Finger Lakes School of Massage, in Ithaca, NY, until 2010, she spent 10 years sharing her passion about essential oils. Her commitment, then as now, is to educate and share about the therapeutic qualities of essential oils and promoting their use in place of synthetic products and for relaxation and healing.
Certificated in Holistic Aromatherapy in 2001 by Andrea Butje at Aromahead Institute she continues to advance her studies in the field of aromatherapy. Like many of her colleagues in the Aromatherapy community Cha’s passion about essential oils is contagious, and her commitment to safe education for personal and public consumption is of great importance to her. In her own practice and private life she promotes the use of non-toxic, chemical-free products.
