aromatherapyMaria Hansford, Holistic health expert and Certified Aromatherapist, member of CFA (Canadian federation of Aromatherapists) was born in Italy, on the Mediterranean Riviera, a land blessed by a mild climate where flowers and plants prosper and display their colors and spread their aromas year-round. I enjoyed the scent of fresh peppermint, basil and rosemary since my early childhood.

During the years she spent in Pakistan due to her job (fifteen amazing years), she lived in a house with a beautiful garden and had the good fortune to enjoy plants, flowers and spices never seen before in her life such as jasmine, patchouli and sandalwood. In Asia she came in contact with ancient healing system such as Ayurveda and Reiki.

Maria has always been passionate about natural treatments and helping other people in improving their health and wellness.

In 2000 she came to Canada and had the opportunity to deepen her knowledge about Holistic health practices due to the large numbers of courses offered in North America.

Through her blog articles, seminars and classes she wishes to share her journey and experience with as many people as possible.

Attending a class with a Certified Aromatherapist is an educational event that will teach you how to use these powerful gifts from Nature in a safe and effective way to improve yours and your family's wellness.

There is no way around it, every day we are exposed to thousands of chemicals. They are in our cleaning products, cosmetics, oral care products and processed food.

Luckily there are measures we can take in our daily life to reduce the reach these chemicals have.
