I’m glad you’re here.
I’ve been teaching essential oil classes since 2015 and could speak on just about any topic - from sleep, stress, digestive, immune support to emotional healing, energy alignment, or daily rituals for vibrancy.
But I created this series because of a book that’s lived at the heart of my own practice for years. I return to it often- for myself, for my clients, and for my classes.
This Gifts of the Essential Oils 5 part series is inspired by that text and infused with my own lived experience.
It’s a space to go beyond using oils as a first line of defense (where they do shine, btw) but these classes will guide you a little deeper to reconnect with what’s true, sacred, and alive within you - through the wisdom of plant medicine, presence, and the elemental forces of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Akasha.
✨ A little about me:
I'm Emily Polonus - The Clarity Cartographer, former map maker turned essential oil educator and mind body, energy mentor. I’ve worked with the essential oils of plants daily for over a decade, and I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformational they are. They simplify and beautify life and our routines, shift energy on the fly, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect us to our own truth. They are truly phenomenal.
You don’t need to have any oils to attend these classes. I’ll have oils on heand for you to experience in class. But if you feel called to begin building your own toolbox for home use (which I highly recommend), I would love to support you (see below).
🌿 Why I use doTERRA:
I’ve partnered exclusively with doTERRA since 2015 because their quality is truly unmatched.
The heart of the company pulses with love - from the intention from which the company started, the way they source plants in their native habitats, to their deep respect for growers, to their commitment to purity, sustainability, and impact.
Every bottle is rigorously tested for both purity and potency. And they don’t just work beautifully on the body. They work on the emotions, and on the soul.
These are the oils I use in my own practice - and I wouldn’t teach with anything else.
✨ Grab Your Elemental Kit
I’ve created a 5-oil starter kit ($163) to support this series. It includes:
Cedarwood - The warm, woody aroma of Cedarwood essential oil promotes relaxation when used topically or aromatically.
Lavender - The swiss army knife of oils - think all things calming for body and emotions.
Peppermint - Clinical research suggests ingesting Peppermint promotes healthy gut flora and digestive function and may help alleviate digestive discomfort. Helps clarify energy and uplift the heart.
Wild Orange - Wild Orange essential oil is one of the bestselling doTERRA essential oils because of its energizing aroma and multiple health benefits.
Frankincense - Nourishing and clarifying as an addition to daily skincare, its warm, spicy aroma creates a relaxing yet uplifting atmosphere.
These are foundational oils I use again and again - for health and self care practices, grounding, clarity, emotional regulation, and spiritual connection.
