I am a Certified, Professional & Trained Clinical Aromatherapist in Central New Jersey. I have learned the chemistry of how the individual components of the essential oils may help your body to repair itself both physically and emotionally. I only use safe and pure essential oils, lotions, carrier oils, salves and butters in my blends, and customize them especially for you. Not only do I use essential oils but I use the whole plant too. The entire plant has so many good medicinal properties and it is way less concentrated than the essential oil. I also use the Frankincense species of resins which are so medicinal just by themselves without adding anything to them except a carrier oil.
If you are looking for a safe and ethical alternative to promote wellness, then please contact me. I will work on your physical, mental, and/or emotional concerns to obtain greater health and well being, from the top of your head all the way down to your toes.
My specialty is working with Seniors and also those in Hospice.
I wrote a paper on Hospice and you can take a look here to see it: https://aromaticstudies.com/aromatherapy-experience-hospice-patients/
I have written many articles for several Hospice and Palliative Magazines including Aromatherapy Today, The Hospice Action Network, and National Association of Complementary Therapists in Hospice & Palliative Care in the UK. I also wrote about Frankincense Resins in many online publications including recently for Aromitka Magazine.
I also do telephone support if you are not living near my area or out of state. Due to Covid-19, I will help you also via Skype, or face time or just on the telephone.
I hold workshops and courses on "What is Aromatherapy and How To Use it Safely" and Beginner Classes. I also do workshops on Frankincense, what it is and how to use it.
I am an expert on Frankincense Resins. I took many courses and learned from those who are professionals who work with these trees. I work with companies and organizations to maintain the sustainability of these trees in different countries all over the world.
I wrote a book called Frankincense Resins The Journey and Beyond which explains each tree and how to use the resin including therapeutic properties and how to use them medicinally. I also wrote an extension of recipes called Frankincense Resins The Journey and Beyond Companion.PDF.

Speaking at Stockton University:
I was invited to speak about another perspective of Aromatherapy and Safety at Stockton University in NJ by their teacher and Certified Aromatherapist, Luanne Anton. She has a wonderful set of students and I had a great time explaining to them another view of aromatherapy and safety and of course the different Frankincense species and we talked about working with those in Hospice.. She has given me permission to show you some of their feedback she asked her students to write after I did the class. Their names have been left out to protect their privacy. I am totally thankful for Luanne for allowing me to talk to her students, she definitely has a wonderful class. These are just a few of what was said, there were more but if you read what they wrote, I believe they got alot out of what I said which definitely confirmed what Luanne has been teaching them.
Student 1: ". Hearing Robin's heart warming hospice stories made me feel so happy yet sad. These patients are dying and feel hopeless sometimes. I love that essential oils provided comfort, peace, and happiness to her patients."
Student 2: "The speaker gave me another perspective on aroma therapy. I really appreciated her clinical use of EOS to really help people who may feel hopeless. Going into the nursing profession this is something that is uniquely personal to me and really got me thinking about the impact my aromatherapy background could have on my patients if I choose to pursue it further. I also have a strong connection to the geriatric population. Although, this was not the only population referenced in the palliative care setting in which she worked this is the population I feel extremely connected to and have a deep compassion for. I love how she inter professionally worked with the nurses to provide a broader sense of care for the patient.
Something I feel like I learned was how a strong understanding for essential oils could allow an individual to replicate scents from the natural world such as the way she made dirt and replicated the scent of the beach for patients. This obviously requires a more level of understanding far beyond the novice level understanding of essential oils but I think it is important not to forget that while essential oils have various healing powers the healing power of how they can make us feel is the strongest power of all."
Student 3: "I feel like robin helped emphasize what we have been learning about a qualified person needed to sell EOS. Someone for example taking blood thinners may NEVER have any idea that winter green and birch could cause problems for them. This is why it is beyond needed to do research and have an educated person selling the EO products.
Overall, I enjoyed listen to Robin and thought she had an interesting story. She talked a lot about her personal experience in hospice and I found it very touching when she talked about the man who liked the smell of dirt. I can see how it can be rewarding at times. I also enjoyed learning about resins and how they can be an alternative to essential oils. I never knew what they were until she explained that they are basically the raw material which are chemically different than the essential oil. They are also ingestible, like the frereana which can be used as chewing gum!! I was pretty shocked about this one. I appreciate her time and knowledge, and especially excited to buy some resins on her website and try them out.
Student 4: "I found Robin Kessler's presentation very interesting. I especially enjoyed her stories and experiences relating to essential oils. In class we learn all about essential oils like where they come from, how they are made, how to use them etc; it was nice to hear first hand experiences when using essential oils.
I found her experience so important because this proves that doing your research on essential oils before using them is critical to avoid situations like this."
Student 5: "We’ve previously discussed that essential oils should only be orally consumed under direct guidance of a certified aromatherapist, and we’ve discussed negative ramifications that could occur if that advice is not heeded. Despite having been briefed on this information, hearing Kessler further explain the serious damage that can ensue if essential oils are ingested drastically stands out in my mind. Her words lead me to wonder why the dangers of ingesting essential oils is not more widely common. As we’ve learned through group discussions, adding citrus oil to water to consume isn’t uncommon. Aside from not having any nutritional value or benefit of any kind, the speaker further explained that when an essential oil is swallowed, it goes down and sticks to the esophagus, potentially burning a hole. The essential oil eventually makes its way down into the stomach and our bodies don't have the enzymes to break up essential oils. It’s unfortunate that the horrific consequences of ingesting essential oils is not more widely known."
Student 6: "I absolutely loved our guest speaker, Robin Kessler. She was so funny and extremely knowledgeable about aromatherapy. She discussed a lot of the things that we have talked about previously in class such as safety, and the phototoxicity of citrus oils. She explained a lot of new things we haven't discussed before with a lot of her personal experiences. She explained how dangerous using certain essential oils when on medication. She explained how wintergreen is a blood thinner and how it has the same chemical as aspirin. I also found it interesting how she said lavender can be stimulating because every time I use lavender before bed, it seems I can never fall asleep. This may be because lavendar is stimulating to me. She also explained how rosemary should not be used for epileptics. My sister is an epileptic so I immediately told her that so she does not use it in the future."
