The role of Mother will always be my favorite.  The #1 way I found to care for my children naturally no matter what was going on was to perform the Aromatouch Technique on them.  In this episode we dive into why the Aromatouch Technique is effective and how easy it is to perform.  Even my 8 year old performed it on me and achieved great results many years ago!
