In this episode, Nikki interviews Saskia Schanz about Neuroaromatics.

Saskia Schanz is a teacher by training where she developed a learning concept for students, who she discovered, learnt best when they focussed on going inwards to find and express their authentic selves.

Then came Saskia’s 3 children where she took a break and began painting abstract oil paintings that were used for interior design purposes on an energetic/Feng Shui level.

In 2009, she decided to move to Canada where she started writing. It was then that she discovered essential oils and it was love at first sight.

During that time Saskia also began to train as a psycho-therapeutic aroma practitioner in Germany which is when all of the pieces began falling into place.

Saskia also loves spending time with her family, the ocean, dancing salsa and anything and everything colourful.

Saskia shares:

• Her top essential oils
• What is neuro aromatics
• Neuroplasticity
  • Essential oils can work as neurotransmitters to build new pathways in the brain
  • Interaction of essential oils with our nervous system
• How to link essential oils to good feelings, anchoring scents and memories
• Bergamot essential oil - oil of optimism, activate parasympathetic activity and reduce sympathetic activity
• Grapefruit essential oil - eating disorders, body shaming, disordered eating, anxiety with food, works on the endocannabinoid system
• Frankincense - supports the autonomic nervous system to help reduce stress
• Manuka - helps with over stimulation, autonomic nervous system, highly sensitive people, EMF waves
• Subtle aromatherapy such as moon and zodiac
• How aromatherapy can support the body to help itself come back into homeostasis
• GABA - helps to have a more restful sleep
• Neuroaromatic blends that she has formulated and can be found on her website
• When not to use essential oils to anchor - remember to stay within your ethical limits, unless trained in counselling not to offer counselling advice.

In this episode, Rachael and Nikki chat about the importance of thinking outside the box and looking at the big picture. This is important for everyday life situations and also for students studying a course. Being able to use critical thinking is an important tool to have.

We discussed:

• The importance of thinking outside the box
• When you’re learning about a new concentp, look at what you did understand, read it again, look up words you don’t understand to get a better understanding.
• If you still need clarification, consider if this is going to be talked about later in the course (check the next lesson title or course syllabus), is there a reputable place to search for more information?
• Once you’ve done critical thinking on the matter, then reach out for further clarification.
• The importance of health history forms for clients as they can give a glimpse into someone’s overall health
• When looking at health conditions - by looking at what essential oils are important to avoid it can also help narrow down your selection of oils to use, all the while making sure you don’t pick an oil that in contraindication to persons health.
• If you don’t know enough about a health condition, look it up and see what body systems it affects, ask the client about it as they are most likely to know about it, and how it affects their health and wellness.
• When blending, look at the big picture - what will help someone the most
  • What application should be used?
  • What oils to chose - taking into consideration age, application location, chronic vs acute, and more
  • What carrier oil can support the blend
• Don’t overwhelm a client. Often 1-2 blends is more than enough to start
• Don’t overwhelm the body with too much essential oil either
• Remember to take the person’s personal aroma preference in mind too when possible
• And more!
