A determination to heal acne scars

Dealing with acne or acne scars can have a big impact on your self-confidence.

This was Aromahead graduate Fai Chan's experience.

Fai described her acne scars as "debilitating." They inspired a lot of insecurity and sometimes prevented her from reaching for her goals.

Fai says... 

"I was so determined to heal completely
because I needed to go forward and pursue my dreams."

Then she tried a new therapy that included essential oils.

A new passion for aromatherapy

The emotional and physical effects of that therapy were powerful. Fai decided to learn everything she could about essential oils.

Her desire to learn led her to Aromahead Institute.

She started slowly... but loved learning so much that she branched out fast! 

"I enrolled in every course provided by Aromahead! I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to pursue the area of aromatherapy."

One of the courses that Fai loved was the Aromatherapy Certification Program. (Check out Fai's ACP graduate profile!)

In the ACP, she learned the chemistry of essential oils, including which ones are good for skincare, reducing scar damage, and turning chronic low energy into a more vibrant, positive attitude. 

"I felt like I finally woke up," Fai says. 

"I learned aromatherapy because
I wanted to create a future for myself.

I developed a passion for it because I learned
how effective it was in healing emotional issues."

Fai's talent evolves into a business 

As Fai made her own original recipes for others, she began to realize that she had a talent for making products that truly helped people.

She began writing articles about essential oils and was published in international journals, and she eventually started her company: Deli Aroma based in Austin, TX. 

Deli Aroma is based on a framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine, layered with Fai's deep understanding of essential oil science.

"I take joy in knowing my clients personally," she says. "I ask a lot of upfront questions and put a lot of time and effort into doing follow-ups as well. As a therapist, it's always a joy to help people become free of constraints, free of limitations. People are not slaves to their ailments, physical or mental.

The first step to deeper confidence with essential oils

Fai's journey to healing and success is a beautiful example of the role that aromatherapy can play in our lives. 

If you're struggling with self-confidence (even if it's related to health issues), essential oils can offer powerful emotional support. With education, the oils can transform your experience of life into one of self-assurance, relaxation, optimism, and even stronger physical health.

Fai's first step was to give herself a thorough education on essential oils, based in science and research.
