The day before I was scheduled to be a volunteer receiver in Kathy's Beyond CARE Workshop I was in a severe car accident. Receiving this session was exactly what I needed. I relived the crash at least 4 times the night of the accident. One does not realize the extent of trauma to our electrical system, the shock of the crash and how it affects us now and years later, mentally and physically. My body needed to feel safe again, to be balanced out, soothed, and allowed to release the confusion, the trauma, the shock and the fear. The memory of the incident will probably never go away BUT it doesn't have to be remembered thru tears. Keeping the emotions inside will eventually manifest themselves physically. The release of these fears, and trauma is absolutely healthy. My student facilitator was, a very sensitive, caring, understanding, and gentle woman, with a future in emotional release. She hung in there with me while I cried and shook and shook some more, comforting me and allowing my energies (which were totally fractured and scattered) to settle down and come together again. I would think I would have scared her off with all the shaking going on as my body released the trauma.
I live in Cadillac and on the way down, just thinking about the accident and the fear I had at the time would make me cry all over again. I did this a couple of times in the 2 hour ride. Since I was on the table for 3 hours, I feel so much more connected and settled. Since, I have had to repeat the accident to doctors and lawyers numerous times and have not had an inkling to cry. I haven't had that helpless feeling. Actually, I feel empowered. Thank you so very much and bless you both; My student facilitator for making the decision to do this work, and Kathy for opening doors for so many who choose to go thru them. It is life changing for both the giver and the receiver.
Blessings,

I first heard of aromatherapy from our trusted family counselor. He told me about Kathy Spohn, an experienced essential oils teacher and provider. Aromatherapy sounded airy-fairy to me but I went ahead and talked with Kathy on the phone and made an appointment for a Raindrop session. Then I canceled the appointment because I needed to know more about what I was getting into.
After reading "Healing Oils of the Bible," I rescheduled. The Raindrop session was wonderful. I not only felt very relaxed and at peace, but I sensed God was working in my body to sort out my physical ailments. A week or so later I went back to Kathy for an Emotional Release session. That was amazing. I have had various forms of therapy over the years, but this was very different because there was practically no talking. The first oil she applied took me immediately back to a room and a situation that occurred when I was four. From then on it was as if I made a review of my life, dropping in on critical events. I experienced pain and sorrow, but also a deep sense of balance. I saw the "bad" things that happened to me, but I also saw that I had survived, that with God's grace I was strong and well. At the end of the Emotional Release I felt completely balanced and at peace. I had acknowledged the pain, forgiven all involved, and was firm on my feet.
One of the most crucial changes I experienced right away was with sleep. For decades I have had terrible trouble falling asleep. I am famous for listening to the BBC World News in the middle of the night. Now I apply a drop of Peace & Calming blend--or vary it with Lavender or Valor--and I am asleep in ten minutes. For years I have had asthma. It began one night over 30 years ago when I was forced to sleep in a moldy sleeping bag. I had to use an inhaler every night when I went to bed. The wheezing was usually accompanied with mucous in the back of my throat so every night I had a wad of Kleenex under my pillow. This has totally changed. No more inhaler, no more tissue. Occasionally I feel my asthma starting to kick in, but I am able to curtail it by applying Purification on my lung and bronchial reflex points on the top of my feet. For most of my adult life I have taken allergy medicine for hay fever as soon as plants start blooming in the spring. Since using essential oils, I am pill free. When hay fever symptoms start to rear up, I use Lavender on my sinus points under my toes and the symptoms subside.
Since I was introduced to Young Living essential oils in 2005, I have continued to be asthma and hay fever free and have found dozens--maybe hundreds--of uses for the oils to improve my physical and emotional health. I've taken classes from Kathy Spohn and learned to do Raindrop and Emotional Release for my friends and family.

Having been diagnosed with symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, I was looking for relief from the pain in my back, shoulders, neck, legs, feet, etc. This first Raindrop, I felt my shoulders relax - it wasn't as difficult to raise my hands to the steering wheel to drive home. My legs would sometimes sting like rubber bands being snapped on the bottom of my feet with every step I took, and my legs were heavy when I walked. I noticed it was easier to walk and life my legs and they were not as fatigued.

My first Emotional Release Session was in Kathy's CARE class in Omaha, Nebraska. I wasn't sure what emotional release with essential oils was. I was hesitant and wondered what I had gotten myself into, but felt I had been led by the Lord to follow through. I couldn't remember a time when my chest didn't get sharp, shooting pain - like a lightening bold across it. I had gone to doctors and they couldn't find any reason for it as my blood pressure and pulse were always normal. I assumed it was something I would have to live with. I had hated my father my whole life and it had manifested as chest pains. What I experienced was profound. My father died 2 weeks later. Before he died, I was able to go in and tell him that I loved him and forgave him. The first time, he almost broke my hand with his angry grip. I did it again the day he died. This time I did not get the angry grip. I have not had any chest pains since. Praise God! Thank you, Kathy.

I always balked at the idea of lying on a table and baring my soul to someone, even if I knew them. So, when a friend told me that Kathy would be in St. Louis and suggested that I should receive an Emotional Release Session with her, my first reaction was to laugh. I knew who Kathy was, but why on earth would I let, basically, a stranger work on me when I wouldn't even let people I knew?! However, I thought about it and talked to Kathy on the phone. She put me at ease right away just talking to her. So, I decided to go ahead with it.
I drove the two hours to St. Louis and was a bundle of nerves by the time I got there. As I knocked on the door, my hands were sweating, my heart was pounding, and a little voice in my head was yelling, "Run away while you still have a chance!" But, I stayed and had one of the best experiences of my life. Kathy was very sweet and calm and let me take my time at feeling relaxed. She has a very soothing voice that puts you at ease very quickly.
During the session, I was able to let go of some things in my life that were weighing heavily on my shoulders. I felt relaxed and at ease (a total 360 degree turn from my emotions just minutes before). Within a matter of moments, Kathy had earned what I had only given 3 or 4 people in my life, my trust. I can say with absolute certainty that the session with Kathy changed my life 1000%! I feel better about myself as a person, more at ease with the decisions I make in my life, and less bothered by people who used to make me feel terrible most of the time when I talked to them. I was always a pretty cheerful person before, but now it's like the sun is shining everyday. That's the best way I can describe it. I cannot thank Kathy enough for what she has done in my life. I tell people that if they have the chance to get an Emotional Release Session with Kathy, not to let the chance slip by because it will be one of the best decisions they could make in their life. Thanks a million, Kathy!
