I’m a few days late with posting as I ( Wendy) have been travelling. It was lovely to come home to a garden starting to show signs of spring, new buds, bulbs poking through and quite a few weeds! What rituals do you do to welcome in spring? 🌼🌿🌸 my hawthorn tree is my indicator tree of seasonal change

Deby has an amazing story and her commitment to the profession of aromatherapy is incredible - NZROHA thank you for all you do 💚

Deby Atterby has lived with sequential memory loss since childhood. She never sat a written exam in her life - every qualification she holds was completed orally.

Where many would have seen only obstacles, Deby found a way through: she relied on her memory, leaned on the people who believed in her, and kept going. She often describes her life as a kaleidoscope - always turning, always changing pattern, sometimes hard to hold onto, but never without colour.

That same determination is hwat build and entire education pathway for Aromatic Medicine in Australia, and it's the thread running thorugh everything Aromatherapy Today does today.

We think that's a story worth knowing. More next week.
