Sherilyn Siegmund-Roach fell in love with essential oils when she spent a week in the hospital after a serious horseback riding accident. The nurse introduced her to aromatherapy when her pain levels were too high despite receiving intravenous pain medications. She went on to study aromatherapy to become a certified clinical aromatherapist.
Her continuing herbal and aromatherapy studies focus on aromatherapy for pregnancy, children, hospice and palliative care, and animal aromatherapy. She consults, writes, and teaches for both online herbal and aromatherapy schools. Her passion for botanical remedies in all forms supports her on-going efforts to integrate herbal and aromatherapy wisdom to support her family’s and clients’ wellness.
Prior to becoming an aromatherapist, Sherilyn taught math and science in public schools in both rural and urban Alaska for 24 years. She currently resides in Tennessee with her husband, dog, and cat. She is actively involved with her children and grandchildren, who all live in different states.
