Welcome to Essential Oils for Highly Sensitive People! This workshop is designed especially for those who experience the world more deeply, feel emotions intensely, and notice sensory input in a powerful way. As a highly sensitive person (HSP), you may find that certain scents can overwhelm or comfort you. The goal of this guide is to help you explore essential oils in a way that is gentle, grounding, and restorative.

Why Aromatherapy Can Help HSPs:

  • Supports emotional balance and calmness

  • Reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation

  • Enhances mindfulness and self-awareness

  • Encourages restful sleep and soothing routines

Safety First:

  • Always dilute essential oils before applying to skin.

  • Perform a patch test before using a new oil.

  • Use oils mindfully and in moderation to prevent overstimulation.

Throughout this workshop, you'll discover ways to create a personal scent space, make your own blends, and incorporate oils into your daily self-care routine. Whether you use them for sleep, relaxation, or emotional support, these tools are here to help you navigate life gently and joyfully.
