Healing Trauma with Essential Oils March 26th
2022-03-26 10:30 - 11:30 | Family Nurturing Center, 5 Spiral Drive, Suite 100, Florence, KY, 41042
Traumatic events have many effects on the body, mind and spirit. Often, a holistic approach using a variety of modalities promotes the greatest healing. Gentle, non-invasive techniques encourage our body/mind/spirit to strengthen and heal each step of the way. Because of the way that some essential oils interact with the brain, they can provide very therapeutic benefits that may aid in recovery and healing from past trauma. Each participant will receive a sample of Lemon Oil so they can experience the effects for themselves.
This class is led by Christine Whelan.
