Individual Consultations Individual consultations result in a custom blend of essential oils designed specifically for you or your animal, whether the need is cosmetic or health-related. As our specialty, this is by far the most precise and effective method to determine which oils you or your animal requires in order to create a mixture tailored to those particular needs. Consultations incorporate the methods of Applied Kinesiology (to find the imbalances of the energy flow to specific organs of the body), and Traditional Chinese Medicine (to determine what these imbalances might signify). The beauty of this hands-on process is that it eliminates any guesswork, which might result in unnecessary expenses, and instead provides a fine-tuned, customized treatment. The cost of a Consultation is $60 plus the cost of the oils. |

Custom Blends If a consultation is not practical for you, we will create a custom blend of essential oils, based on the general needs or conditions you describe via the phone or e-mail communication. Custom blends may address both cosmetic and health-related issues. The cost of a Custom Blend is $25 plus the cost of the oils. |

What is Aromatherapy, Essentially? Aromatherapy is the art and science of using pure essential oils extracted from plants for healing and balancing the mind and body.Essential oils are the result of distillation or expression of plants and plant parts (e.g., flower, leaf, tree, bark, root, twig, seed, berry, resin and rind).All essential oils, to varying degrees, have chemical compositions with powerful healing qualities. Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy, not a replacement for medical are. FrogWorks employs a collaborative approach, working together with your medical practitioner. We prefer to work with the diagnosis and treatment plan that your doctor or veterinarian has prescribed. |

About the "FrogWorks" name What's in a name? In China, the Frog is a symbol of good luck. In Japan, it is believed that carrying an image of a Frog in your coin purse, brings the good fortune of having your money returned. The Japanese word for "Frog", "Kaeru," also means "return." The Frog represents participation in the abundant flow of life. The Frog is a symbol of transformation, love and alchemy.The "Frog Prince" beautifully demonstrates these characteristics when a frog convinces a young maiden to kiss him so that his (inner beauty) true identity as a Prince is revealed. Native American culture considers the Frog the cleanser of emotions and is connected to water energy, the energy of emotions. Native Americans believed that the Frog teaches us to honor our tears for cleansing the soul. When ponds are dry, it is the Frog who sings to the heavens to cleanse and replenish the earth. "Frog speaks of new life and harmony through its rain song. Sing Frog Sing! Call the rains, quench the dryness, cleanse the Earth. Then fill me up again." Jamie Sams & David Carson - Medicine Cards A sense of new life and harmony is facilitated by Aromatherapy. Whether in form, appearance or character Aromatherapy enhances one's transformation in healing the body, mind and spirit. The name FrogWorks refers to this powerful/empowering transformation. |

Frances recently trained zookeepers in the use of essential oils
on animals. Her groundbreaking Animal Aromatherapy work at The
Denver Zoo with the Orangutans, Gorillas and Black Crested Macaques
was covered in the Denver Post and L.A.Times. Frances' work has
also been written about by the Rocky Mountain News, Associated
Press, The German Press and a featured guest on Animal Radio.
This work showed excellent results, which confirm the effectiveness
of essential oils. These magnificent animals clearly demonstrated
which oils they wanted, when they wanted them and how they wanted
them applied. They have truly been teachers about how these oils
can help them.Jake's Story
Six-year old dog
Problem: Suffering from a reversed sneezing problem.
Jake's owner came to me regarding Jake's reversed sneezing problem. She was not clear about the causes but speculated that it could be due to dryness, allergies or food. She wanted help because his sneezing was waking her up in the middle of the night.
After the consultation the following oils were suggested:
- Eucalyptus
- Frankincense
- Peppermint
- Basil
- Grapefruit
- Roman Chamomile
This is a very well rounded selection of oils and it focuses on respiratory and calming.
The owner telephoned me a week later to say that Jake's reversed sneezing had greatly diminished. She reported that the attacks were less frequent and lasted 3 minutes instead of 15 minutes. She said that when the attacks did start she immediately gave Jake the oils to smell and the sneezing stopped instantly. Another benefit is that she has been able to sleep through the night.
Skip's Story:
Quarter Horse Gelding
Problem: Owner was concerned about poor appetite and thinness. She also felt Skip became stressed very easily and nervous for no apparent reason.
The owner contacted me regarding Skip's weight and emotional state of mind. During the consultation she reported that Skip was out on good pasture all day and additionally was eating 3 to 4 flakes of hay, 4 pounds of grain and a cup of corn oil per day
After consulting with the owner and reviewing Skip's condition, four essential oils were recommended.
I sent the oils to the owner and asked her to contact me in two weeks. She was directed to let Skip smell the oils and if he wanted to lick any of them he could. I also recommended that the Neroli and Violet Leaf be rubed on his muzzle and poll areas if he seemed interested and responsive to them. The owner contacted me precisely at the end of two weeks. She was ecstatic because Skip had gained weight and his behavior had become very calm.
