Tons of naturally minded people in my area and I feel this would be a great niche for me! I also would love as much info on Essential Oils as possible--is there a non-biased website or book I could read that would help? I learned a ton about them at the Aveda Fredric's Institute but it's been a long time (5 years) and I want to refresh my memory!
I do this in my area and I recommend the book the complete book of essential oils and aromatherapy. Also look into aromatherapy courses online. Lots of fun doing this!!!
Also mountain rose herbs .com has a bunch of info on carrier oils etc. They use organic based ingredients that you can make. If you need hands on stuff, pm me! I can show you lots of stuff and it looks like I live close!
