This one day workshop is available upon request. It is the result of the research project from 1999 at Tamara's House. The Thesis is now published and available at the University of Saskatchewan. Research has shown that 1 in 3 to 4 women and 1 in 5 men have been abused and that health care professionals knowingly or unknowingly work with survivors on a frequent basis. This seminar will present ways to work more sensitively and thus more successfully with adult suvivors of childhood abuse. Participants will examine the dynamics of violence, ways long term effects may be manifested and guidelines which represent ways that health care professionals can ensure their practice is sensitive to adult survivors. Emphasis will be placed on examining ways that health care practitioners can integrate the principles and guidelines of sensitive practice into their own type of practice. A MUST class for everyone working directly with people. FYI: Single Essential Oils and Aroma Care Blends come in 30 ml and 50 ml sizes - please ask for a price list to be sent out. 500 ml and liter size quantities of single Essential Oils and Aroma Care Blends are also available - Minimum order amount is $1,000.00.

January 2007, NOTE: It has been brought to our attention that there is a proposed restriction of Eucalyptus Oil at concentrations equal to or less than 25 percent, by the Cosmetics Division of Canada. Eucalyptus Oil above this concentration may pose a hazard to children who may accidently ingest it orally. Please keep all essential oils, especially Eucalyptus and Camphor away from children. Please ensure you take precautions to use essential oils wisely and safely. Err on the side of caution, use all essential oils topically with a carrier base, most especially for children, elderly and those who are very ill, to avoid any skin sensitivities. Please call our office if you are in doubt and for more information on safety. Please check this web site: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/iyh-vsv/life-vie/camphor-camphre_e.html
