Aromancy started out as my humble attempt to teach students the concept of Oriental Medicine in an interactive way by using randomly collected essential oils. I began with five colored paper,  gave myself a blind test to layout my oils according to their scent character. It immediately became clear that I landed on something rather unique because instead of listening to my explanation, they began asking me about what I can tell about their life's theme. That was almost six years ago. I made several revisions of the design, added many oils, developed different approaches with consultation, and wrote a book and made videos for learning programs to share my love of plant medicine. It has not been an easy path. I connect with plants and people with my heart, but to explain what it is, seem to require that I use my head. Many times I tried to quit, but then each time someone showed up and validated the work, and brought me back the joy. Today I come to believe that these plants are putting me to work for them instead of me using them for my gain. Well, I do gain a lot when I get to share my work and my plant teachers with you. You are also my teacher. Your intuition brings me to mysterium.  Aromancy, in short, is a Medicinal Perfumery, Spiritual Aromatherapy, or Satsang (talking truth) with Plant Teachers.

I hope that you meet them soon.
