Working with Plants and Essential Oils for You and Your Animals Coursebook
“When you got something you can share, that's an honor."
- Jimmy "Duck" Holmes
What is the one thing I love most about my business? I love teaching you about plants, essential oils and how to work with them for you and your animals. Teaching in person is my favorite venue. I enjoy it when students fill my studio for a class and when I have intimate classes with just two or three people.
Soon I found myself facing a big challenge. How do I teach all the people calling me from other states and countries? For a solution, I chose a four-day workshop. To my disappointment, it did not catch on as expected due to some people concerned about the cost. I felt stuck. Then, one night, I woke up out of a sound sleep and had an "aha moment." I decided to compile all the information I taught in my classes into a book. I worked on it for a year and created an informative coursebook that teaches you about essential oils and how to work safely and effectively for you and with your animals.
After twenty-seven years of being in business and practicing with essential oils and plants, all that knowledge is in this coursebook. I am grateful to the master teachers I studied with, the courses I have taken and the courses I continue to take, helping me stay up to date on research and discoveries in the plant world. I am most grateful to all the animals and people who came to me with a need and for the work we did together to address it. Without them, I could not have created this coursebook or all the vital products FrogWorks offers.
This 195-page coursebook is for you, the healing practitioner, trainer, therapist and animal communicator who wants to incorporate essential oils into their work with humans or animals. It is also for anyone who wants to learn about essential oils and create personal blends to relax, cope or invigorate.
"Our mission is to teach people how to safely and effectively use essential oils and plants with animals and with yourself. Our goal is to provide quality education on working safely and effectively with plants and essential oils based on truth and facts. We believe that animals know what they need in times of health and in times of an emotional or health crisis. When given a choice, they will choose the proper remedy."
