How did we get here?

"True healing will always begin with your thoughts. Master your thoughts and you will master your life." - April Peerless

My journey into neuroaromatherapy began with my own search for peace. Living with night terrors and hallucinations, I intimately understood what it meant to feel unsafe in one's own mind. This personal struggle became the catalyst for my lifelong exploration of the brain's healing potential.

After unexpectedly finding my way into working with them, I quickly discovered the profound impact essential oils had on my own nervous system. Because of this, my scientific curiosity grew. What started as personal relief evolved into a deep dive into neuroscience, epigenetics, and the intricate dance between aromatic compounds and brain chemistry.

From Personal Journey to Professional Breakthrough

A pivotal moment came when I was asked to help a 6-year-old boy with autism find rest. The success of my customized blends was dramatic – until a prescribed acid reflux medication created unexpected complications. This challenge led me to discover crucial interactions between essential oils and pharmaceuticals, deepening my commitment to understanding the science behind aromatic healing.

This experience crystallized my approach: true healing requires both scientific precision and intuitive understanding. As a Master Clinical Neuroaromatherapist and Expert Peer Reviewer, I've spent four decades bridging the gap between traditional aromatherapy and cutting-edge neuroscience.

Transformative Results

My work has facilitated remarkable transformations:

- Non-verbal children with autism finding their voice

- Individuals with dissociative identity disorder discovering immediate grounding

- Adults in recovery breaking free from persistent thought patterns

These aren't just success stories – they're evidence of the brain's incredible capacity for change when given the right support.

My Approach

I believe that healing isn't about fixing what's broken, but remembering our inherent wholeness. Essential oils serve as physical anchors for this remembrance, creating a bridge between scientific understanding and somatic wisdom.

Every blend I create, every protocol I develop, emerges from this understanding: that true transformation happens when we align our biochemistry with our body's natural healing capacity.

Looking Forward

After 40 years of clinical practice, research, and continuous learning, I'm now sharing this integrated approach with practitioners ready to elevate their understanding of aromatherapy's transformative potential.

Join me in exploring the frontier where neuroscience meets ancient wisdom, where each drop of essential oil becomes a key to unlocking your brain's natural healing capacity.

The Revolutionary Aromatherapy Philosophy

The Nature of Healing

Healing isn't about fixing what's broken – it's about remembering wholeness. Every challenge, every symptom, every struggle is a messenger pointing us toward deeper understanding of ourselves.

The Intelligence of Nature

Essential oils represent nature's adaptive response to stress - their compounds are the result of the plant's oxidative stress response. When introduced to the human body, these compounds bind to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which mediate crucial physiological responses including vision, taste, smell, and the fight-or-flight response. This sophisticated interaction allows essential oils to influence multiple sensory and regulatory systems simultaneously, creating a bridge between plant and human adaptation mechanisms.

The Science of Transformation

True transformation occurs when we align with nature's fundamental principle: adaptation. By understanding and working with these adaptive processes, we open the door to profound change.

Core Principles

Safety Precedes Change

- The nervous system must feel safe before healing can occur

- Essential oils create biological anchors for this sense of safety

- Emotional ease signals physical safety

Everything is Information

- Symptoms are messages, not problems to fix

- Emotional pain carries wisdom

- The body speaks through sensation

Integration over Intervention

- Supporting natural processes rather than forcing change

- Honoring individual timing and readiness

- Working with, not against, the body's wisdom

Personalized Precision

- Each person's journey is unique

- Chemical constituents matter

- Individual response patterns guide treatment

Bridging Science and Spirit

- Neuroscience validates ancient wisdom

- Molecular understanding enhances intuitive practice

- Physical healing opens spiritual doorways

I commit to:

- Honoring each person's unique healing journey

- Maintaining scientific rigor in our approach

- Supporting the body's natural healing capacity

- Teaching others to access their inner wisdom

- Advancing the field of neuroaromatherapy

The idea of Revolutionary Aromatherapy was conceived long before aromatherapy was an accepted field of study. Tammy put herself through college while working in the dental field. After attending the Insititute of Holistic Nutrition she was fascinated by digestive wellness and began teaching a college level program to Holistic Health Professionals. At the same time, she was devoted to raising 6 children, 2 of whom were adopted with 3 of them needing additional care due to struggles with mental & emotional issues. Beyond research and development, family, and various health concerns, Tammy enjoys writing, traveling, serving the Amish, gardening, photography, and immersing herself in nature whether in the woods or at the beach!
