Animal PsychAromatica is an holistic animal healing system that has developed out of Nayana’s years working with animals and aromatics. It addresses the state of the psyche to increase health and well-being throughout the body. 

The Animal PsychAromatics philosophy says most disease could be prevented if we take care of the early signs of stress in the body or mind. To reduce stress, we must understand what causes it in the body and mind, create a healthy environment for that animal and prevent illness before it happens
