Meet Your Instructor

Meet the Founder and Lead Instructor Hi, I’m Jessie — a certified aromatherapist, educator, and the founder of The Institute of Aromatic Arts. With years of hands-on experience blending essential oils and guiding others on their wellness journey, I’m passionate about teaching aromatherapy in a way that feels grounded, inspiring, and accessible. I was born and raised in the heart of Appalachia, where a deep respect for plants, people, and place shaped the way I see the world. That upbringing still influences everything I do — from formulating blends with intention to helping others reconnect with nature through scent and self-care. I’m also the owner of Maggie’s Farm and Aromatics, a modern apothecary in downtown Chillicothe, Ohio. I built the shop from the ground up to offer thoughtfully handcrafted products made with natural, whole ingredients and pure essential oils. I still work there every day — blending, creating, and helping customers find simple, effective ways to care for themselves and the people they love. Whether you're just beginning or looking to deepen your practice, this course is designed to meet you where you are. My goal is to help you feel confident working with essential oils safely and effectively, while also encouraging creativity and self-trust in your blending process. Let’s dive into the beautiful, complex world of aromatherapy—together.
