Hi there.\u00a0My name is Loren Elara.<\/p>\n

I’m from the mainland USA but have been bouncing around for the past 6 years. Three of those years have been spent in Hawaii, six months in Bali, two months in Thailand and the rest of the time in my hometown of Vashon Island in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

I recently got engaged and we’re planning a move to Evanston, Illinois which is just north of Chicago.<\/p>\n

How did I learn about Essential Oils?<\/h2>\n

I often get asked how I’ve come across the EO information that I share on this site.<\/p>\n

Alas, I am not an experienced expert myself. I love to use oils and have been using them for some years. I’m not a pioneer in the EO field nor am I certified in aromatherapy or essential oils (yet).<\/p>\n

While I have not tried out every single recipe that I list on this site, I do<\/em> ensure that all of the information I include in my posts comes from certified experts<\/strong>.\u00a0Above all, I am a researcher and information compiler.<\/p>\n

The information I glean for my posts comes directly from one or more of the following authors:<\/p>\n

Valerie Ann Worwood<\/h3>\n

Internationally Acknowledged as one of the worlds Leading Aromatherapists<\/h4>\n
