This class introduces the essentials of diffusing essential oils, including intention, delivery methods, and the science behind how aromatic molecules move through air and interact with the body‑mind‑spirit. You’ll learn practical guidelines for safe diffusion, considerations for vulnerable populations, and how different systems shape the aromatic experience. A clear slide deck and video lesson support you in understanding best practices such as fresh air, dosage awareness, and using the least amount necessary.

Highlighting Best Practices & Guidelines

This short class isn’t here to “hit you over the head” with absolutes like “never diffuse essential oils.” Sweeping statements like that do a disservice to the practice and to the many benefits that aromatherapy offers — including those accessed through diffusion. Instead, this class invites you to consider why we diffuse essential oils, what happens when you diffuse them, how different diffusion methods work, and what thoughtful, evidence‑informed best practices look like in real life.

Many people I’ve met diffuse essential oils without feeling fully confident about how long to diffuse, which methods are most appropriate, or how to navigate the mixed messages often shared online. This class offers a grounded, accessible overview of diffusion so you can make informed choices that support your wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around you.
Essential oils are powerful mind–body connectors, and diffusion is one meaningful way to work with them. Because these materials are highly concentrated, thoughtful intention and awareness are essential when bringing them into the air.
In this 60‑minute class, we explore:

• Setting intentions for diffusing
• Olfaction and respiration as they relate to essential oils
• Benefits and limitations of diffusion
• Different diffuser types and delivery ideas
• Foundational safety guidelines
• Approaches to blending and more
