I am a lifelong learner. After careers as a teacher and web developer, retirement began my journey with aromatherapy. I heard a little about essential oils, and after joining a few Facebook groups, I knew I had to know more. So I started reading everything I could find. My sister told me about this little company that was just a couple hours drive from her in Nashville. I visited the website and devoured the entire thing it was so rich with information. It was like having your mom tell you what she knows about essential oils in such a way that you know you just have to smell it and try it for yourself. That website was Nature’s Gift, and what began as the place I visited for information is the same place I share my knowledge as their company aromatherapist.

I am also the developer of the AromaSense app, an all-in-one aromatherapy app that helps users navigate the safe use of essential oils and carriers while expanding knowledge and sparking creativity. With AromaSense I can give users trusted, curated information in a way that will allow users to interact with the information in a customizable way.

Lynnette completed aromatherapy teacher training at Aromatic Wisdom Institute. With this training, and my degree in elementary education, I offer Potions for Muggles classes. In these classes parent and child can learn about aromatherapy and essential oil safety by making potions using a wizard theme; her stepson Max loves to be her assistant.

When I’m not working or studying, I love to spend time with my family which includes professor husband, stepson Max, two Jack Russell Terriers and a tortoise shell cat. I also loves to read, play music, hike, cross-stitch, knit, and play board games.
