I always come away from Peter’s seminars with lots of specific information that I can start using with my patients right away. His wealth of clinical experience is drawn from many years of practice and research, and is presented in such an organized way that it’s easy to follow, and he’s able to transmit a great deal of information in just two days.

I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing class this past weekend. It was phenomenal. I learned a lot on so many levels. I am grateful and humbled and thankful to you for giving the information with such passion, intelligence and patience ... Essential oils hold the wisdom and spirit of the whole plant. Using the oils unlocks some area of the brain in a sort of lock and key effect that is otherwise unreachable, dissolving the barrier that exists for healing to occur.         
    — Elizabeth Fine, L.Ac.

Adding essential oils in my clinical practice has proved to be the most dramatic and effective tool that I have witnessed in my 10 years of being in practice. Essential oil medicine converging with energetic medicine holds tremendous promise, and I am beyond grateful to Peter Holmes for pioneering this path! 
    — Tiffany Pollard L.Ac.

Peter’s deep knowledge and enthusiasm for essential oils made what could have been on ordinary CEU class an amazingly enriching experience. I was able to use the information the very next day in my treatment rooms. Peter is on the forefront of a whole new world in the energetic treatment of the body and psyche.
