Aromatic Wellness Classes

One of the results of the Pandemic (COVID19) has been to draw our attention to our sense of smell in a big way. This has caused an onslaught of articles and discussions about aromatherapy and the benefits of using our sense of smell. The medical community has even brought the methods of using aromatic methods to their patients. And the beauty community has a newfound interest in the benefits we can gain from exploring the plant world where we can find therapeutic benefits from including them in our well-being program.

In this post, I am featuring Amy Anthony, (website NYCAromatica) and her classes, which are among the best. I am a NAHA certified aromatherapist who has taken many classes in order to learn about the best and most safe methods for using essential oils and integrative medicinal methods as part of my wellness regimen. Some years ago, I had the pleasure to have Amy Anthony as one of my teachers at the New York Institute of Aromatherapy (closed now due to the Pandemic).

Amy has a website filled with aromatherapy solutions, potions, and a “poetic” method of providing this service to you. Take a look at her website to enjoy the many facets of aromatic wellness techniques and ideas to include them in your wellness regimen for therapeutic benefits.


Amy Anthony is modest in her explanation “About” herself. These are a few thoughts about what I think she offers in her training and consultations.
1) An aficionada’s grasp of the subject matter.
2) Clarity and ease of communicating – even in the more complex materials.
3) A certain generosity of spirit in her communication.


You can learn more about what she has to offer and sign yourself up for a class at the link below.

Revisiting a Conversation about our Sense of Smell

A recent, on-going topic and cause of concerns being discussed since the onset of COVID-19 is the sense of Smell.

You may recall in August 2021, I covered this topic on my Wellness Connections podcast #11, with Frauke Galia, of Falk Aromatherapy.

In that podcast Frauke explained that there are various types of smell dysfunction. Here are two:
Anosmia, for example, became a keyword to describe when one is infected with COVID-19, and permanently or temporarily loses the sense of Smell. Anosmia = loss.

There’s also Parosmia, which is Smell dysfunction that distorts the smell of things. One example I read about is that sweet smells may instead smell rotten. Parosmia = distorts.

Our sense of Smell is being recognized in a new light. At my Website you can learn more about Smell dysfunction at the link below.

There is so much information available to help us get more acquainted with how to use our sense of Smell and why it is important.
