FACILITATORS

MS JAMIE PONG

Hi, I am Jamie Pong.

I quit my job and took an Aromatherapy Diploma course, and this is where I found back my linked with the nature.

Learning aromatherapy required the use of left and right brain. Left is on scientific, right is on intuitive and sensory, both are important. I do not have any scientific background, I was pure business students. When I started my aromatherapy study, I spent lots of my times tried to understand the basic of biology, chemistry and botany subject. It is challenging for me, but I always believe that if you devote your time in something, they wouldn’t fail you. Everything is possible…

Aromatherapy is fun! The more you put your time on it, the more you will fall in love with them. The power of nature is really amazing! Sometimes, it is hard to explain it scientifically, but I will always look for the rationale behind all those practices.

Anyway I am not the expert, I am just a practitioner and I will be a continuous learner in all my life.
