STUDENT FEEDBACK ON CARE PROGRAMS

This was a very worthwhile and comprehensive program I would recommend everyone take. It was a very informative, organized and thorough workshop . . . and Fun! I teach oils myself and the pieces of information I was missing was the chemistry. David and Lee have put a lot of time, effort, hard work, and love into this program. It was worth every cent, and then some. You didn't charge enough for all the info you gave to us. Your program brought an even clearer picture to my already considerable knowledge of essential oils. I was very impressed with the entire program. I would love to repeat your class when you come to my area again.  ~Roxanna Weddle, Silver Springs, Maryland

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for such a wonderful program. Not only have I learned a great deal of new skills, I have grown as a spiritual being. All this in just a few days!   ~Kim McMahon, Bronte Beach, New South Wales, Australia

This workshop has been the most rewarding learning experience since my introduction to essential oils. The wealth of material and wonderful personal experiences and knowledge shared was beyond my expectations. In these times of despair, I feel blessed to be a part of such a God-centered healing organization as CARE.  ~Aziyza Shabazz, St. Croix, Virgin Islands

This program offered the best chemistry that I have come across. Dr. Stewart takes the essential oil chemistry and turns it into common 'scents' helping us to understand why these amazing oils can do what they do. The entire program David and Lee offer is an excellent comprehensive integration of experience and theory and a wonderful foundation for the best of what therapeutic essential oils offer!  ~Marilee Tolen, RN, HCN, CHTP, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey

I went through the Raindrop, Applied Vitaflex, Essential Oil Chemistry Class with Patricia Iannone. I appreciated her kindness and patience with me as I was learning these things.
