The Tisserand Institute is not just its tutors and core team, but also an incredible body of passionate students who come from all over the world. We want to give them the floor to share their stories and their experience with us.

Andrea is Chilean, she lives in Santiago with her husband and 4 children. She discovered aromatherapy 9 years ago due to/thanks to her son Simón. In 2016 she joined a multi-level aromatherapy company to share what she was using with others. There, she began to open her eyes to the world of essential oils and their therapeutic properties as well as their risks, and she wanted to know more about them. She decided to train as an aromatherapist, and at the same time expand her knowledge even further, taking almost all the courses offered by the Tisserand Institute, including Diploma in Aromatic Sciences and Diploma in Aromadermatology. Currently, she continues studying, teaching what she has learned and creating personalized formulations for her family and for those who need it, and plans to open an integrative aromatherapy practice in the near future.

The interview was conducted by Rachel Andorfer. As the video connection wasn’t strong enough for the interview, we bring you a brief clip on video, but you can listen to the whole recording as sound only.
