Aromatherapy is an ancient healing modality, proven by modern science. It has been in use for over six thousand years, beginning with the Egyptians who used essential oils for health, beauty, longevity, and spiritual connection. At Scent From Heaven, we exclusively use therapeutic-grade essential oils from Young Living. Because of their purity, these oils can be applied topically, taken internally, inhaled, used in a bath, or diffused in the air.
Essential oils are used in all of the treatments at Scent From Heaven. There are a variety of classes offered each month to learn more about the specific use the oils for your health and well being.
Amy Bacheller, M.Ed, NC is certified in aromatherapy from the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy in California. She has studied extensively with Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils, traveling with him to Egypt and Petra, following the Frankincense Trail. Amy has been using the oils for 19 years with astounding results. Essential oils are an effective, powerful multi-dimensional healing tool for all levels of body, mind, heart and soul. They are a stand alone modality which can also be used to enhance any other treatments.

Everything is energy and has it's own unique, measurable, electromagnetic frequency. Energy Healing works with the subtle vibrational frequencies of the body to cleanse and purify, heal and balance, and to energize and strengthen the body's organs and systems. Energy Healing can be used for relaxation, to promote healing on all levels and to increase and amplify your energetic frequency. It is very gentle and works in complete and total harmony with the body, creating profound results.
Energy Healing can be used in conjunction with all of the services offered at Scent From Heaven. During a session, you are fully clothed, lying on a massage table. Each session is unique, allowing for what is needed in the moment.
