“I enjoyed the class so much and felt so inspired, that when I left I began to incorporate the Young's Living oils into my practice. I have performed about 6 or 7 Raindrop treatments so far and have already needed to order another kit. I have received some great feedback from my clients, other therapists and friends.

The most significant experience so far is from my client, who came to me with chronic lower back and neck issues.

I convinced her to come in for a Raindrop Treatment. The day she arrived at my office she could barely walk or turn her head. She was unable to lie flat on the table, no matter how much support I offered with the body cushion or pillows.

She lay on her side on the table and I applied the oils to each foot. By the time I had completed applying the oils to her feet she was able to lie on her stomach with a pillow under her hips. I propped her up a bit under her chest and her arms were almost straight by her side.This was progress.

By about the third or fourth oil application to her back, she had increased range of motion in her neck. She was amazed at this (and really so was I.) By the end of the treatment she did not think she would be able to get off the table. She was not only able to get off the table, but felt 75% better then when she first came into my office. She had regained almost complete range of motion in her neck and she was able to walk without hobbling. She could put on her shoes and socks. Upon arrival, she was unable to even take her pants off.

She walked around my office saying, "It's a miracle!" She text messaged me within 20 minutes after leaving to thank me, and asked for another appointment. Within a half hour her partner called, and booked an appointment. She too was stunned by the improvement. I have to admit I was a little stunned too. I had massaged her only lightly, with no deep tissue work, and what a result!

I thought you were a great teacher and am grateful to have met you. I am very interested in learning more about how to use the oils for mental, emotional and spiritual balance, and for people who are physically ill. I feel that this workshop has and will continue to change the way that I practice massage. I am excited to begin this new journey.

Thanks Joan! I look forward to your continued mentoring.”

Dear Joan,

We would like to "thank-you" for the recent workshop you presented at the Catskill Public Library. It was fun, informative and enjoyed by those in attendance. The books we purchased for our own collection, offered at your workshop have already gone out several times.

Offering "Creating a Healthy Home with Essential Oils and Aromatherapy" enhanced our programming and stimulated interest on the topic of essential oils for healing.

We'd love to have you again in the future!

Margo Muller
Program Director

Dear Ms. Apter,

This is to thank you for your participation in the May 6, 2000 Stress Study Break workshop at Fordham University, at our Bronx Campus.

Your interaction with the students made the topic of aromatherapy a very lively one, and we appreciate you for that. The students especially liked the experiences they had as you had them sniff the essential oils. They were impressed that peppermint could help them study and prepare for their exams!

We look forward to other opportunities in the near future. I would recommend your presentation to anyone who is looking for a deeper understanding of how essential oils and aromatherapy work and can be used for so many practical purposes for health, reducing stress, and healing.

We thank you once again, and look forward to our collaborative work in the near future.

Dear Joan,

I am writing you on behalf of the Mental Health Association in Ulster County to convey our deepest appreciation for the seminar you lead on July 17th.

The presentation was both professional and educational. You appear to be very knowledgeable on the material and dealt with our array of questions with non-circumlocutory precision. Many of the participants expressed their gratitude, to both myself and to my co-leader, for having the opportunity to b e exposed to aromatherapy.

I look forward to meeting with you again and will not hesitate to recommend your services to any in need.

Thank you again for your time and energy.

Testimonials about Massage

As the mother of two babies, I found Joan's care erased all the muscle pain of four years of sleepless nights. I was especially impressed by how she shared her knowledge of the oils.

Evelyne Pouget Ditkoff
Woodstock, NY

Joan's massages are luxurious: generous on all levels. The essential oils soothed me in ways that had never been addressed before.

Ibi Hinrichs
Olivebridge, NY

The massage was amazing. The combination of relaxation and the smell of the oils lingered all day, but by now of course I need another. Your massage was wonderfully addictive. PS. I would love to purchase some oils that would promote relaxation and joy at home. Let me know what you recommend. Thanks again

I really enjoyed my raindrop therapy massage. My sinuses are clear! My brain is clearer! And I'm feeling very happy and calm for the first time since Sept 11th. I came home and rubbed oils all over my kids before bed. They are sleeping like angels.

Erica Weldon

My experience began when I called Joan last week for help. I was just recovering from an antibiotic reaction and from infected Lymph glands in my neck and around my left ear. Much of the swelling was down, but a painful, sharp, electric bolt sensation had been shooting up the side of my head for about 24 hours. Joan suggested a Raindrop Technique massage. I gratefully came in. Joan reviewed my current state of health with me, offering guidance in treating some underlying immune issues. Then she began the Raindrop Technique massage. At first, she massaged the oils along the spine, into different muscle groups and pressure points and felt wonderful. The process was continued at a smooth pace in a full body massage that was intense and also intensely relaxing. I felt the massage and oils reaching all the cells in my body. After some relaxing on the table, I got up and felt as if I was floating. The electric bolt type pain began to return later that night, but I noticed fuzziness around it and realized it was tolerable. As I continued to relax and drink plenty of water the pain subsided into a smaller area of dull soreness and ache for just a few more hours. I had my first good night sleep in 5 days. I have continued to improve everyday since. Many thanks to Joan for your highly developed skills and for your intuitive healing touch.

Mary Ann Elakman

When I went to Joan I was in extreme lower back pain from doing too much heavy physical work in the garden, hauling bags of stones. I could not relieve the pressure by myself so called Joan, She fit me into her busy schedule and with only one treatment of 1 1/2 hours of oils and hot stones and excellent hands on care, my back was almost like new within 24 hours. Joan took me out of pain and I stayed that way. She knows just what to do. You can depend on it.

Sue Wilens
Woodstock, NY

I had a broken disc in my back that used to act up a couple times a year and was very painful. I had all kinds of therapies and nothing worked. Then I went to Joan for a Raindrop Technique massage, and it lifted me on the spot. The next day the pain was gone.

Steffan Thaleman
New Paltz, NY

The oils sometimes move me psychologically to a pretty deep place. When I'm getting a massage with oils, different visions and feelings from my childhood come up, and then I'm able to let them go. It's a safe way to explore those issues.

Robert Corrington
Madison, New Jersey

Joan Apter is a masterful healer. Each one of her aromatherapy massages leaves me refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. Her deep commitment to her work is always inspiring to behold.

Mitch Ditkoff

My massage from Joan was one of my most nourishing & healing experiences ever! She really understands how to use the oils as a therapeutic tool in massage. I could have gone for a 6-hour massage, I did not want to get off that table. Highly recommended, true massage genius!

Hi Joan I just want to thank you again for a wonderful session. I am happy to report that I didn't break out in a rash anywhere!!!!! First time! I slept over 9 hours........and feel much more settled and relaxed today. Thank you so much!

Christina

After 90 minute Raindrop technique massage: At one point in my session today, I felt overwhelming gratitude for this gift of a human body as the vehicle that is helping me fulfill my purpose for life. The release made this joy and gratitude possible.

It was also a process of discovery. Some of the places I expected to be blocked were less contracted than my shoulders. I realized what a burden I'd been carrying, especially around issues of my children, and was able to release it, let it go.

My whole body and being feels expanded, full of life and a sense of eternity.

Teresa Foudriat

After my aromatherapy message with Joan, my muscles were totally relaxed and I was completely renewed in mind and spirit. Days later, I'm still feeling the calming effect of her healing touch. She's absolutely the best!

Testimonials on Receiving the Neuro Auricular Technique (NAT)

At the recent Raindrop training in Dallas with Gary Young, one of my partners was Veronica. Veronica started using the oils last January for an extremely painful and debilitating condition called trigeminal neuralgia. She had been bedridden and on disability for a year as a result. She was originally scheduled for brain surgery in February; however since the oils worked so well on the pain it was decided that the surgery was no longer needed. The surgeon advised her to "continue doing what you've been doing!" Although her pain was gone in her neck and face, she still had residual pain going down one of her arms. In Dallas, as Gary Young walked us through the Neuro-Auricular Technique (using Sacred Frankincense, Valor, Deep Relief, Stress Away and RutaVala) on the back of the neck and upper back, Veronica said that her pain completely went away and remained that way for a number of days, at which point it was time for another treatment. She was amazed!

Peggy DeArmond
New Jersey

I was teaching a hands-on class in which I shared what we learned in Dallas. One of my students, Ellen, has had MS for many years. Through using Young Living oils and supplements she has been able to stay off all pharmaceuticals and function in her everyday life extremely well. Recently she has been having nerve pains, tingling sensations and some numbness on one side of her body. I took this opportunity to demonstrate to the class the version of the Neuro-Auricular Technique that Gary used originally for Parkinson's and has been done regularly in the clinic in Ecuador. The oils used were Frankincense, Valerian, Vetiver, Roman Chamomile, Cedarwood and Sandalwood. In addition to this, we sealed her treatment with the Valor roll-on. The next day she felt much more energetic and the nerve sensations in her arm had diminished!

Peggy DeArmond
New Jersey

I demonstrated the Neuro Auricular Technique in front of a large audience on Marie, who has chronic stress. I performed the Stress Relief NAT, which took only minutes to perform while sitting in a hotel chair. I felt the stress leave her body as soon as performed steps 1 and 2 of the technique using only Valor and Frankincense. Her body became so relaxed that I was amazed, especially in front of a large group of people. We continued the technique and her stress simply melted away! She could not believe the dramatic effect of such a simple technique. I heard she had a wonderful night's sleep!

Sue Pelechaty, Springfield
New Jersey

It felt like you were drilling, and then you came to a spot, where something just released. It was like a childhood or childbirth trauma was released. There was no pain, just a light touch. It didn't feel like massage. I think every newborn should have this technique done for birth trauma. It's an energy shift!

Christine Fromm Thalemann
New Paltz, NY

If you get a NAT session, make sure you plan to have some rest time afterwards! It was so profoundly relaxing that I did not want to get up off the table!

Claudia Hirsch

Testimonials about attending Joan's NAT class

Thank you for the class - I really enjoyed it. I especially appreciated the Aromatherapy 101. I liked the way you split the course into segments and gave both art and science info.

The info was great, the overall warmth of the group was wonderful, the NAT treatment itself was very interesting to one who has had a compressed spine, multiple concussions, and substantial trauma and stress in the not-so-distant past.

I experienced near-immediate relief after the application of the second oil, so much so that as the warmth and relaxation began to creep into my every molecule, and as the calm, gentle, and sensitively focused touch of my partner registered, tears of relief rose quickly to the surface.

A day later, despite snow shoveling, grocery hauling, garbage sorting, housekeeping and the like, I don't seem to be needing the spinal shifts that I usually need when things are out of alignment. When I do need them, they happen more easily. Makes the heart sing, puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step!

I look forward to sharing this technique. Selfishly, I especially look forward to being on the receiving end of it for a while, to see how much more it can help me. I have needed this, for decades. Thank you!

Christina Gardner
Boiceville, NY

I really enjoyed your class. You make learning fun. When I looked in the mirror last night I thought how nice my skin looked and thought it weird my skin would look better as we did not put anything on our face. Upon further reflection I concluded that the skin was the same it was the stress lines that were gone!

I felt so at peace afterwards and slept really well last night (which I usually do not). As always you did a fabulous job and it is always a pleasure to see you and I will be using this technique on others who need some help. Thanks.

April Hubbard
Pleasant Valley, NY

I LOVED that you gave me the opportunity to review and enhance this aspect of what I had learned in Dallas. I have a "procedures" type of mind, and your use of power point and tight organization really added to my being able to retain what you taught. I admired the way you took 1 or 2 questions and than stayed on point, referring the rest of the questions to the end. You're a very good, clear teacher, Joan. I also liked that there were a variety of people in the class. The time really flew by; I was amazed that we had only 1 hour left, when that was announced!

I wasn't so aware of how I was feeling before I received the treatment. When I really noticed a difference was when I got home. My husband even commented on where I got all this energy. It was mental and "connected" energy actually. I felt clearer and more positive. I worked on my husband right away. He was complaining and 'edgy,' leaning in the chair and fidgeting during much of the application. I thought he would never experience anything. I was really happily surprised when he announced afterwards that he had gone way "in" and needed time to come back! (Afterwards we figured out a way that he would have been more comfortable: sitting forward on his comfortable recliner with his head on a little TV table.) Even so, he had a really good experience!

I'm very grateful, Joan, to have had this experience with you. You're a great teacher and your students are really fortunate to have someone so astute, explicit, compassionate and supporting! Thank you!

Nandini Weitzman
South Fallsburg, NY

The intro to essential oils was helpful even though I have some familiarity with them. Also, the science behind the procedure/technique was also helpful. The teacher's enthusiasm and commitment to teaching and leading was infectious. Receiving and giving the treatment felt very good, both relaxing and grounding. Thank you again for a great class.

Fran Collet
Hurley, NY

Thanks again for bringing this vital information and technique to us.

As a teacher you convey your knowledge of the oils in a clear and concise manner. Your passion to share is obvious. I thought the class was presented in a easy format, notes last, that's excellent! I like a short quick delivery/class time that follows a format and stays on time. It shows me that my time is as valuable as is the presenters.

I felt an immediate response; a deeper sense of calm. My brain was really firing, very alert and I really anchored the technique. I have applied this a few times with immediate relief for neck, jaw, head pains. I will be teaching this to two massage therapist friends here in New Mexico in the next 2 days so I will have more feedback for you.

I plan to add this to my menu when I return. I also will be getting a massage chair to do this in a more open space as opposed to a closed room. I will continue to work on whoever, whenever for more experience.

Lisa Gervais
Newburgh, NY

My experience of receiving NAT was lovely, peaceful, and nurturing.

You are a great teacher with vast knowledge of essential oils and their uses. I could have listened to you for a long time. I certainly got what I came to learn and left feeling competent to give a session. I spent time with my notes when I got home so I wouldn't start to forget things.

I will definitely use it on myself and others. There may be other ways I will use it that I will discover as time goes by.

Testimonials of experiencing Joan's Raindrop Technique Massage

I wanted to let you know all of the wonderful things that I felt after receiving the Raindrop Technique. All of the effects were positive; none were negative!

What I noticed about myself was that I was very happy and my mind was clear for the first time since September 11th!! I went to my exercise class the next day and my body was so strong and fluid (I hadn't been to class in weeks). Also the biggest improvement I felt was in my sinuses. They have been clear for days!! I felt very euphoric and still do 2 days later. I haven't had any major mood swings or bouts of depression in the last 2 days either.

I can't thank you enough. I will always request the Raindrop Technique in the future.

Erica Weldon
NYC

My seven-year-old son Alex received raindrop technique massage on December 2, 2001. Alex has suffered from recurrent sinus infections for approximately three years. Alex's pediatrician had stated that there is nothing that can be done to alleviate the infections due to the Alex's cranial structure. Alex has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome and the front of his cranium is pushed forward which restricts the sinus cavity. Many children with Down Syndrome are affected by this ailment.

The Raindrop massage lasted for 1.5 hours. There were no negative effects of this massage on my son. In fact I noticed several positive effects. During the massage, Alex became so relaxed that he fell asleep. To have a very active seven-year-old lay still for 1.5 hours is testament to the non- irritating and soothing effect of the massage. After the massage, Alex was able to dispel large amounts of previously blocked mucus from his sinus cavity. His right nostril became completely clear, and today, several days later is still clear. As of today, his left nostril is still draining but he is able to breathe freely through both nostrils.

Previously, during the night Alex would snore heavily and have recurrent periods where his breathing would actually stop for several seconds before he started to breathe again. This would cause him to sleep lightly and he would wake up frequently. Since the massage, Alex's snoring has completely stopped and he is breathing freely during the night.

The Raindrop Technique massage was a positive experience for my son. But the positive effect of the massage is the reason I brought him for the massage - that he is now able to breath freely through both nostrils and also able to receive a good nights sleep.

I just wanted to say thank you again for the experience and the passing of knowledge. When I got home I performed the Raindrop on my husband to relieve stress and built up pressure. He slept like a baby all night, which is unusual as he often suffers from insomnia. Today, everything seemed to fall into place for him at work. Everything he had been stressing over was resolved and he is like a new person, so relaxed and laughing. I know what did it and I thank you for the knowledge.

You are an inspiration to me and to Kalifah. I think you changed her life yesterday. We are all blessed to have you in our lives.

Wilma Garren
South Orange, NJ

Thank you so much for offering your hands on teaching of the Raindrop Technique! I love the reading and studying, but for me, hands-on is how I learn the best! I absorbed so much pertinent information about the oils during the class! Joan has a way of keeping the classes light and fun, so it's easy for her to slip all that knowledge into us!! I am already practicing the technique and delving so much further into the amazing benefits and uses of my favorite treasure chest of the past ten years.... my essential oils case!

Kimberly Wendt
Phoenicia, NY

Thanks so much for the great class yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the Raindrop Technique and practiced on my youngest child when I got home last night. He especially loved the work on his back. Tonight my daughter came over for a treatment. She immediately felt the energy in her legs after I used the Valor while my hands were on her feet. She felt that the overall experience was just heavenly and it totally relaxed her. In fact, she enjoyed it so much that she is going to give Raindrop gift certificates to her clients instead of buying them a gift. My son, the one with the tendonitis, has asked if I will do it for him tomorrow night. He has continued to play baseball after college and has some arm injuries, which the oils may help. It's great because I have enough people in the house to practice on and now they want me to work on their spouses, friends and co-workers!

Again, thanks so much for everything. You really made it a wonderful experience. I will be in touch.

Testimonials about Products

Back Pain

I was having tremendous back pain to the point where I could not sit for more than 5 minutes at a time. Nothing seemed to help. I did the RAINDROP TECHNIQUE. In the first 5 minutes, the pain diminished, and by the end of 45 minutes, the pain was completely gone. ~Susan Ors

Multiple Sclerosis

I worked with a 40 year-old man, who was confined to a wheelchair, with a 10-year history of MS. We put three drops each of, VALOR, HELICRYSUM and PAN AWAY on his back, and also did the RAINDROP TECHNIQUE. He was able to feel some warmth in his back for the first time, and feelings returned into his hands. He was able to use his hands to do some arts and crafts, which he could not do for 6 months previous. His attitude has changed; he has become hopeful! ~Susan Furfaro

Rashes

The PRO-ESSENCE CREAM is a winner! I had a terrible rash on both my hands for two months. I tried everything. After applying the PRO-ESSENCE CREAM, what a difference!
