Stay Tuned For Online Classes - Working With Essential Oils for You and Your Animals
Online classes are in development. Over the past two years, I was immersed in research, enrolling in webinars from chemists, biology and pharmacology of essential oils specialists. I am very excited about all the new information implemented in our online courses.
Through this process, one of the things I have learned while working on the online course is things take longer than you think.
I truly believed completing the lessons would take a few months, but it has turned into a few years. And when completed, it will be a fantastic discovery for everyone. As a result, the course work represents the present discoveries of working with plants and essential oils for you and your animals.
We are currently working on the full description, uplaoding to the website, pricing, and dates.
Please send us an email telling us you would like to receive a notification when the online course is available. FrogWorks’ Contact Form
