ANNE KENNEDY is an independent writer who enjoys covering a wide variety of topics, including natural health, simple living, sustainability, and gardening, across an array of markets. She has written several books on essential oils and herbal medicine, including Aromatherapy for Natural Living and The Portable Essential Oils.
Self-sufficiency; an active outdoor lifestyle; and a strong focus on the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit serve as her inspiration and her cornerstones for healthy living. Her lifelong study of herbs and plants began during her childhood in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, beginning with an interest in Native American herbal remedies. Her study of essential oils and aromatherapy was inspired by her initial exposure to lavender essential oil and her intrigue at just how effectively it remedies a variety of everyday issues.
Anne lives and works from her home on a small organic farm in the mountains of West Virginia. Her favorite essential oil is frankincense.
