Anna Papazoglou

Anna Papazoglou is an Aromatherapist based in Athens Greece and has a keen interest in non - threatened endemic plant species used in Aromatherapy. Anna supports safe use of essential oils, moderation in dosing and prioritizing the use of locally sourced essential oils derived from non -threatened plant species.

Her ultimate goal is to replace essential oils from threatened species with essential oils derived from non-threatened endemic species and to source as close to home as possible. To this end she is currently exploring the chemistry of less researched endemic plant species. Anna believes we are connected to endemic plants we’ve known all our lives and therefore using them in aromatherapy is like asking an old friend to help us out.

Studying is a lifelong project for Anna, there is so much to learn and there always will be more. She is enrolled in the Gold Standard: Advanced Diploma in Aromatherapy offered by Essence of Thyme College of Holistic Studies. At the same time, Anna attends masterclasses and seminars which offer continuing education credits. She is the Airmid ambassador for Greece, a Professional ICAN and a student member of AIA and IFPA. Anna doesn’t like “either” “or” dilemmas including the one of “pharmacology and chemistry” or “energetics”. She believes we should equally respect and use both.
