'Kim and Fleur congratulations on a very well written, concise book on the art of aromatherapy. It will no doubt touch many people's lives with its simplicity and the ease with which you have portrayed your message.'
Robert Tisserand, UK

Kim Morrison and Fleur Whelligan are two very inspirational women.  “Like Chocolate for Women” is my bible for aromatherapy. Their knowledge, wisdom and inspiration have taught me so much about how to use essential oils for health, skin-care, emotions and energy.  They are self-care gurus!. When I feel overwhelmed in my life I turn to their books.  
No home should be without them.
Cyndi O'Meara, Author of “Changing Habits, Changing Lives” Queensland

I can honestly say that Kim and Fleur are the best workshop presenters and they deliver the best workshops I have ever attended.  They are enthusiastic and passionate and they share this, along with some wonderful knowledge in these amazing workshops.  Do yourself a favour and attend anything they are presenting, you will be filled with their infectious enthusiasm and zest for life!

From the moment I met Kim and Fleur I knew I was in the company of greatness, not just because of the message they delivered in their presentation, but because they were able to back it up with evidence and they also create amazing experiences for women through their books, recipes and inspirations. I find myself re-visiting their books frequently for guidance and ideas to improve the way I live my life. Their approach toward health and harmony is holistic in nature and they are living, breathing proof that self love, self acceptance and freedom for all are the keys to happiness in this life!
Carren Smith, General Manager, The Ray White Caloundra Group, Australia

Kim and Fleur bring a total sense of dedication, experience and expertise to their work.  Having been asked to be on many advisory boards, to which I more often than not say no, I accepted the invitation to be on Kim and Fleur's advisory board on the basis of a few critical factors I see operating within their endeavours.  The books Kim and Fleur write are more than just books with techniques and tips, they embody the subject matter of healthful living, self-care and caring for others.  Kim and Fleur also live their lives, both personal and professional walking the same path as they try to help others find as well.  Kim and Fleur are also very richly involved within their communities and are always seeking ways to bring women together for a sense of community and friendship and fun.  They are always there, on a personal level, prepared to honestly ask: How are you today?  The other side of this is their dynamic and undying relationship these two share.  It is a rare thing to behold.  They work together tirelessly in mutual agreement as business partners and as friends balancing each other along the way.  To see them work together is a must, whether it be in a seminar they are delivering or a book they are working on.
Angela Huntsman, Ph.D.


I have had the privilege on a number of occasions to hear Fleur and Kim speak. Each time I have come away inspired to be the best I can be, to treat people how I would want to be treated and more importantly to embrace life. These two amazing women, ooze an aura that makes you want to make the most of your life and be a better person. Like Chocolate for Women was introduced to me at such an important stage in my life. It was at a time when i was in the throws of early motherhood and needed to find inexpensive ways to take time out, and pamper myself to be a better lover, mother, daughter, sister and friend. this book did that and I have given it as a gift to so many girlfriends since then.
As a childbirth educator and professional birth support, I have used so many of the recipes in the book on my pregnant and postnatal clients. The labour blend is one of my favourites as are the yummy new baby blends. I consider this book my bible when I need a pick me up.
Jo Plummer, Director of Birthwise, Mother of 4 gorgeous children, NZ

Several years ago I purchased a copy of your book ‘Like Chocolate for Women’ and had the pleasure of meeting you both.  I absolutely love this book, which is now all tatty and doggy eared from constant use.  It has inspired me to say the least!  I have since collected and read many more aromatherapy books, completed an aromatherapy correspondence course and I am currently completing a certificate in aromascience.  I also make and sell beautiful, 100% natural, essential oil products.  It is a wonderful, rewarding journey that all started from your beautiful book.  I feel so fortunate that I have found something that I feel so passionate about.  So THANK YOU so much, Kim and Fleur for your gorgeous book that reminds us to be true to ourselves, our skin, and our environment.
Justine Schroder, Director Be True Limited, NZ

"I became completely hooked on Kim & Fleur's books after attending the launch of "About Face" - their third book.  I took up the 28 day About Face programme and that was it, I was hooked for life!  My skin utterly glowed from the inside out and what's more I felt better than I could ever remember feeling. Kim and Fleur are just like their books - beautiful and inspiring.   
Kelly Swanson-Roe, Presenter/Producer, Sydney.

“Kim and Fleur are two of the most inspiring women I know. The workshops they have held at the Herb Farm are still being talked about years later. “Like Chocolate For Women” is a must have book in every home – it’s your aromatherapy bible.”
Lynn Kirkland, Founder and R&D Manager at the Herb Farm, NZ

At a very stressful time in my family's life, I was given the opportunity to lend a helping hand with the 'new' edition of this wonderful masterpiece. In doing so I got to know various parts of the old edition quite intimately. It is amazing what the subtle scent of Lavender and Rosemary can do to bring a little peace of mind. Kim, Fleur, thankyou for the opportunity and for your friendship. May the second edition be at least as successful as the first - I am waiting in anticipation!
Nicole Clarke - SAHM (Stay at home Mum), Buderim, Queensland

There are two significant impacts you personally have made in my family's life.  Firstly the perspective on "healthy" both in terms of the food and attitude and secondly what we want in our lives for the future.  Although we may not always follow the healthiest path we are now aware and able to make informed choices.  As my girls do not like red meat and struggle at times with the source of food in relation to animals, I have alternatives to offer that ensure they still get the nutrition they need as active growing girls.  Healthy food that they are happy to eat!
My daughter has a future path for herself mapped out that comes directly from you and the example you have set of how a life can be fulfilling, provide financial freedom and add value to others.  She has as a result been able to select options in her first year of college that will enhance her chosen career as a nutritionist with a focus on sports performance.  
Your life is living proof that the values and recommendations in your books are achievable and your fabulous attitude to life and people makes you a joy to spend time with.  
Lots of love & best wishes for the new book,
Kim Frankham, NZ

I had purchased and been inspired by Kim and Fleur’s first edition of ‘Like Chocolate For Women’ before I even had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kim in person at a Teambuilding workshop a few years ago. This book continues to be a reference for me on a regular basis and after speaking with Kim, her motivation and infectious character has encouraged me to undertake further study in my passion of natural therapies.  I am excited to think that there is another book to follow! Take care and Good Luck!
Jill Hansen, Personal Adviser to the All Black Coaching staff!!!! Budding Aromatherapist, NZ

These two are an amazing, dynamic duo........if you didn't buy the book the first time round.....it's certainly not to be missed second time around........a truly phenomenal read.
Liz Broadhead, Sunshine Coast, Australia

I first saw Kim and Fleur’s dynamic presentation at a Women’s conference at the Sunshine Coast in 2004 when I was pregnant with my first daughter.  I was so inspired by what they had to say and their outlook on life.   It was their  “no fuss” approach to living the best life you can through exercise, nutrition, and the use of natures own remedies – in the form of essential oils which really resonated with me.  
Inspired by what they had to say and the differences I made to my everyday life through the use of essential oils, I founded my own skincare company in 2006 which is based on many of the principles of Kim and Fleur’s philosophy – maintaining  a  healthy lifestyle through the use of  natural and organic ingredients and products.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kim in person in 2007 and again was struck by the no-nonsense approach to life and  to enjoy each and every day.  She is a person full of laughter and light and her outlook on life is inspirational.
I count myself blessed to have had the pleasure of seeing  them speak, and reading their informative books.  I would certainly recommend their books to anyone waning to gain the best out of life.  Indulge + Enjoy – Life is Good!
Cara Phillips, Founder – Carmajé – pure botanical skincare, Australia

Somebody should bottle them.

As a mother of three who runs her own business, I’m guilty of not putting myself anywhere near the top of my daily list.  Thanks Kim and Fleur for showing me that indulgence is not a selfish word.
Nikki Parkinson www.stylingyou.com.au, Queensland, Australia

It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend these two dynamic ladies and their books. What a breath of fresh air in an otherwise relatively staid topic. They bring life and laughter to Aromatherapy...a must read for persons in all walks of life.
Dr H O'Meara, Mooloolaba, Australia

Ooh,  I have this gorgeous book, and all of their others!!  They are beautiful books, with real photos, of real women.  I always leave workshops run by Kim, and Fleur with a huge smile on my face.  In our world where we are exposed to so many chemical laden, nasty ingredient foods, and skin products,  it is refreshing to leave your workshops feeling empowered, inspired and buzzing with ideas to try..... All with the aim of giving my family, and myself the very best opportunity for vitality, health and wellbeing.
Thank you gorgeous girls, I always love chatting with you.  You have been, and continue to be an absolute blessing.
Vicki Wagner, Mummy, and Child Health Nurse, Queensland, Australia

"When my infant son of 12 weeks was struggling to breathe with an awful chest cold at 3am in the morning, it was always with some relief that I turned to Kim & Fleur's book 'Like Chocolate for Women'...I could always find something that smelled gorgeous and gave my son amazing relief! Thanks Girls, it did mean I managed to get the odd extra hours sleep, for which I am eternally grateful!"
Janine Barr, Regional Partner, www.genratec.com, Auckland, NZ

Oh my gosh. I thought I knew lots about chemicals, care and cooking, but Kim and Fleur took me further on my journey to natural wellness than I expected. Now, three months down the track their books give me reference and inspiration on a nearly daily basis, to keep the passion alive. Thanks girls.

Since meeting and speaking Kim & Fleur, I have become so much more aware of preservatives and artificial colours and flavours in our foods. I have begun nurturing my body, so I can therefore look after my family.
Using natural oils and medicines and cosmetics in my day to day life has become a ritual. Love your work. You are an inspiration to women
