Aromatherapy Session

Aromatherapy for Emotional Well-Being

I'm Susan Farber, a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Aromatherapist. I offer a collaborative approach to aromatherapy that blends my expertise in mind/body modalities with your unique emotional and physical needs. Together, we'll co-create a personalized essential oil blend that elicits a positive mind and feeling, resonating on a deep body level to support your overall well-being.

The process begins with an online intake form and a 60-minute session during which we'll craft your personalized blend. During our session, I'll also teach you mind/body and associative learning techniques to anchor your scent and elicit a positive state of being.

Sessions are available in person in Santa Barbara and Solvang, CA, and remotely.

Case Study

Sarah is a 24-year-old woman who presented In a negative state of Fear of Loss. She reported anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep disturbance following treatment at the emergency room for a severe allergic reaction to medication.   The session entailed guiding Sarah in blending 2-3 essential oils that elicited a relaxed feeling upon inhalation. Of particular interest, Sarah chose Bergamot, Citrus bergonia, and Lavender Lavendula angustifolia out of the 18 available oils. Energetically, Bergamot is known for its relaxing, restorative, and calming properties, and Lavender for reducing anxiety and fear. Sarah was then taught to induce a relaxed state using constrolled breathing and the mantra, I am Assurance,  paired with the blend's aroma. She was directed to practice the exercise in the morning, afternoon, and before bedtime daily to anchor the scent.  Two weeks later, she reported no longer experiencing daily generalized anxiety, sleeping a full 8 hours a night, and being able to prevent the occurrence of a panic attack. Sarah further reported that imagining the scent itself helped her feel relaxed.
