judy godecJudy Godec first discovered the power of essential oils while living in France in the early 1980’s, when she was given Dr. Jean Valnet’s seminal treatise “l”Aromatherapie, Traitement des Maladies par les Essences des Plantes,” or “Aromatherapy, Treating Disease with Essential Oils.” At that time, the French pharmacopeia included herbs and essential oils alongside allopathic remedies and it was then she began a lifelong study of their myriad therapeutic benefits. Fifteen years later when her children were born, Judy dedicated herself to deeper study of the oils to replace Western medicine’s defaultpharmaceutical solution, which focused primarily on symptoms and illness rather than health, well-being, longevity and happiness. The natural affinity that exists between essential oils and the organ of the skin also became apparent, which led her to use her experience to formulate skin care and ceremonial compounds for herself and friends. The success of her botanical skin care line and educational courses for her company, Venus & Vetiver, and others has enabled Judy to share the magic and power of aromatic treasures while helping women realize their innate and radiant beauty. She has also written manuals, monographs, and blogs on essential oils and beauty several essential oil companies and consults with individuals on starting their own essential oil-based product business. She gratefully credits her primary teachers Jeffrey Yuen, David Crow, Kurt Schnaubelt, and Valerie Worwood for advancing and deepening her love and understanding of aromatic oils.
