Although this video is kind of private, it reveals a bit of history with one of my personal heroes, the one and only – Dr. E. Joy Bowles. ❤️ In case you somehow don’t know Joy, she is a world-renowned author of “The Chemistry of Aromatherapeutic Oils”, the pioneer of aromatherapeutic chemistry and one of my great inspirations.

Her PhD, where she examined how essential oils might affect cognitive function in dementia, was awarded in 2007. Also, she received an award for Outstanding Contribution to aromatherapy at the Alliance of International Aromatherapists Conference in September 2021.

Without further ado, here is an exceptional interview I had with her where we talked about how we met, dreamed together, and the future of aromatherapy, of course. 🤓

Don’t miss out on her unique take on things. Let me know your takeaways in the comments section below.

P.S. The cover photo of Joy and me is from the 2019 Alliance of International Aromatherapists Conference, where we were both invited as lecturers. It is one of many conferences we shared. ❤️ At the Botanica2020 conference, we finally lectured together at the Botanica workshop – something we wanted to do for years!
