“Dear Stephanie:  I just finished reading your book “How To Feel Fabulous Today”.  I really enjoyed the book and have been putting some of the things into practice right away.  I am a massage therapist and I know that I need to do these things for myself as well as tell clients that they need to take time to care for themselves.  But, I seem to never “take the time” to take care of myself.  So, reading your book just reiterated for me what I need to do.  Thank you for the gentle nudge in the right direction.  Thank you again for your wonderful book.”

“Dear Stephanie:  I spotted your e-mail address and wanted to drop you a line regarding a book of yours I purchased today called “Organic Body Care Recipes”.

I am a qualified Australian Beauty Therapist (which is what we call Aestheticians down here), with certification in aromatherapy, nail technology, oriental therapies, and organic farming.

I have made my own body and face preparations for years now, having a fine education in this regard by my grandmother.  But finding your book today was a revelation for me because it not only reintroduced me to certain ingredients, it also called me back to the way I was raised (eg. Oil of Sunshine and Floral Oil were made by my mother, as a child, only called different names) but it reminded me that beauty therapy really can be thereapeutic in every sense.  Reading every page, I marveled at the simplicity of the recipes, the memory of ingredients and felt empowered by the time I put it down.  I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful work, for reigniting my hope, fueling my desire to be the best therapist I can be, and for revamping my vision.”

“Dear Stephanie:   I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book, 
“Organic Body Care Recipes”.  I have made a few things, so far my favorite is the  
“Lavender & Roses Gentle Cleanser”.  I have used it every morning for the past four weeks and follow with the “Ph Balancing Toner” and I see an amazing difference in my skin.  I also made some “Cocoa Butter Creamy Lotion”, not only was it fun to make, but I love the way it soothes my skin from head to toe!

The list of suppliers was so helpful.  I already used Mountain Rose Herbs, but now I have many places to choose from and don’t have to search myself.  You made it so easy.

Thanks for sharing your expertise.  I look forward to making many more recipes and sharing them with my family and friends.”

“Dear Stephanie:  I found this book, “365 Ways To Energize Mind, Body & Soul” on one of the lowest days.  I’ve been struggling with decreased energy over the last few weeks and just couldn’t put my finger on it.  I’d recently lost over 30 pounds and within a month afterwards, put 10 pounds back on.  I had worked so hard to get that weight off.  I feel so weighed down – no pun intended.  I suddenly lost my desire to exercise or even have the motivation to do anything it seems.  I have no reason that I can think of for this happening.  I have a great fiancé, great – though stressful – job, great family . . .

Anyway . . . I was walking around the mall the other day and something told me to go to the bookstore . . . so I went.  And, on my way out, there it was!!!  This book.  That night I started to read and it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I’m not including enough sources of energy in my life.  What little I do have is simply not enough.  I lost that weight by following a very strict, regimented and health diet.  I was often frustrated, but I can’t remember a time in my life when I felt better in my mind and body.  I just wanted to thank you for this incredible book and for finding it when I needed it most.

"I have been reading your book, "Organic Body Care Recipes", and I have been completely loving it! I work full-time and as soon as I get home from work, I want to start concocting as many potions as possible! Yesterday, my husband walked into a room, and there I was, with essential oils, jars, measuring spoons, and a glass vial with a dropper, spread across a table, with yoru book open, FULL of Post-It's and notes. I was creating an "elixir recipe". He thinks it's adorable and I'm totally obsessed. I have always been into products, testing them, accumulating them, reading about them, etc. Over the last few years, I have been trying to move towards more natural products, but I am always at the mercy of the people who make them. It is SO empowering and FUN to be making them myself, and knowing exactly what is inside, and the healing benefits. I am IN LOVE with the "Protection Cream" and body brushing!"
