EARTH HEART - VICKI RAE THORNE

It was love at first smell when I attended a weekend intensive on essential oils in 1992. I’d been diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a whiplash injury 4 years earlier, and was inspired to start making massage oils and bath salts to address my constant pain and stress. Because I was pregnant and had a 5-year-old at home, everything had to be safe for everyone, and I apply that same level of responsibility to formulating for dogs.
In 1996, I founded Earth Heart® Inc. to help others learn how to ... See More safely and effectively use herbs and essential oils as part of everyday life. For several years, products were developed for massage, skin, body and baby care – with family and friends as sometimes unwilling products testers!
I wrote a monthly column for a local health magazine, had a small holistic practice, developed and taught continuing and community education classes for 14 years, Aromatherapy for Bodyworkers at the community college for 8 years. My aromatherapy and herbal certifications are through Jeanne Rose Herbal & Aromatherapy Studies, and I’m a long-standing member of the American Herbalists Guild, the Alliance of International Aromatherapists, and Women in the Pet Industry Network.
