I graduated from Aroma Academy (Croatia), where I obtained my qualification as an aromatherapist. From there, I received numerous certificates (from around the globe) in the field ranging from Advanced Clinical Aromatherapy (France), Aroma-psychology, Advanced Essential Oil Chemistry & Pharmacology, Professional distillation, Natural perfumery, etc. In addition, I also have various certifications outside of the aromatherapy field.
