In this episode, Nikki and Rachael go over the speakers and topics from the CFA conference from June 2023
Sue Todd shared about gratitude and how gratitude has had such an impact on her daily life. She has been posting publicly her daily gratitude for over 10 years!
Jean-Claude Villeneuve, owner of BoreA Canada went over the sustainability, and eco-responsibility for the essential oils and hydrolats that they distill in the Boreal forest in Quebec.

Julie Fischer shared her personal journey of breast cancer and how aromatherapy played a role in her health wellness and recovery.
Danielle Sade brought us all through a journey of using essential oils in guided imagery. Using scent as a metaphor, we can use essential oils to picture what images we can visualize ourselves.
Benoit Roger, the owner of Alchemia Solutions, shared how various parameters for the plant being distilled can affect the essential oil yield and chemical composition, along with steam distillation vs water distillation.
Linda Prussick, shared with us how her role as Complimentary Therapist, she can offer aromatherapy in Palliative and End of life facilities.
During the event, we were also able to check out the aromatherapy products from Pranarom - Scientific aromatherapy, BoreA Canada - essential oils, and Organic Aromas
The 30th-anniversary conference was an amazing day to connect with aromatherapist colleagues that we have known for years and create new connections with those that we just met for the first time.
Essentria was a proud sponsor for the conference, and can’t wait to see how the CFA will continue to support its members.
We also want to thank the Board of Directors for the CFA who put on this event. As Rachael and Nikki are both past board members, as past Vice-President, and past Education Director, it is known firsthand how much work is involved. The hard work and dedication is very much appreciated
