In today’s Aromatic Chat I’m speaking with Debra Reis. Debra is a nurse and educator as well as a researcher and Aromatherapist.
Debra realized that aromatherapy education is very important. “I'm seeing that even in a high end hospital setting and other clinical settings that there are people just bringing in, even people like nurses, just bringing in oils and using them because they feel it's okay to do that. They just really don't know it's not... It's just a lack of knowing.”
During the COVID pandemic, Debra’s focus was on caring for staff, trying to keep everybody at a balance. Debra has always had a passion for helping others discover really quick tools that we can use very quickly and very effectively move from a state of chaos to a state of relaxation. Her background is as a critical care nurse but realized that it was stressful and that there had to be more than just putting people back together. Something was missing. She got her certification and then continued pursuing education by branching out into different modalities.
She has created a signature program, called STEP- Supportive Therapy Engagement Program. It addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual elements as they relate to relaxation. She also has the “Calm Your Chaos” program that anyone can get which includes quick tips on relaxation techniques.
