About Me
My name is Lois Rutledge, and I started AZ Endless Essence LLC in 2017. My goal is to offer high-quality, handcrafted aromatherapy products, complemented by personalized service. I also share my knowledge through essential oil classes and workshops, encouraging natural living and wellness.
I received my Aromatherapy Certification, Advanced Graduate Program, and Aromatherapy Teacher Training from Aromahead Institute.
I completed my Animal Aromatherapy Practitioner training with Ashi Aromatics Inc.
I received a diploma in Natural Skin Care Formulation from the School of Natural Skincare.
I am a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist with the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) and a Professional Member of the Alliance of International Aromatherapists (AIA).
I work with suppliers who source products that are organically grown, wildcrafted, or certified organic, based on the cultures and practices of the regions around the world where the plants thrive. I only purchase my essential oils from companies that provide GC/MS testing results for each batch. Safety is a priority because essential oils are potent and must be used correctly.
Why Do I Need an Aromatherapist?
You can search online for essential oil blend recipes for almost anything. If you’re missing an essential oil, visit a health food store and buy it for $10—there’s no need to spend $60 on the same oil. After all, you only need a few drops for your blend. Alternatively, you can see an aromatherapist, who has that $60 bottle of essential oil, and receive a custom blend.
If you’re considering trying aromatherapy, it’s best to consult a certified aromatherapist. Working with one helps you create a personalized solution and ensures you’re using the right products for your specific needs.
Together, we will identify the scents that meet your needs and the delivery methods that fit your lifestyle – from diffusers to inhalers, lotions, sprays, and bath salts.
