From Psych Nurse to CBD Aromatics with Lauren Andrews

Here are the highlights of my interview with Lauren Andrews: From Psych Nurse to CBD Aromatics on Women Developing Brilliance.

Who is Lauren Andrews?

Lauren Andrews is an RN, Clinical Aromatherapist and President of AroMed Aromatherapy.  

AroMed has 2 retail locations in Central Vermont and an active online store. AroMed's CBD Aromatics line can be found in over 25 shops in California, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Lauren is also a recent graduate of the University of Vermont's Cannabis Science and Medicine Program.

Overcoming Life’s Struggles

After years of being in a psychiatric nurse, and coming close to getting assaulted by a patient one day, Lauren realized it was time to begin a new career path.

She used her passion and knowledge in the field of aromatherapy to open her first retail location in Montpelier, VT.

From there, she continued her learning and earned a certification from the University of Vermont’s Cannabis Science and Medicine program, which allowed her to confidently design a line of CBD Aromatics - combining her 2 loves.

Shining a Bright Light

In the beginning, Lauren felt like she had to do it all. Once the success of the store became too much to handle (as a team of 1), Lauren let go of the reins and began hiring team members.

Sharing her vision and making sure they were sufficiently educated in order to adequately represent her and her product line were keys in bringing on the perfect hires. 

Knowing that teaching and new product creation was really what fulfilled her made it easier to delegate and step back from any micro-managing.

I loved my time with Lauren because

Her integrity shines through. I love and admire people who invest the time, money, and effort to continue their base of knowledge and are willing to share it with their tribe. I believe in Lauren’s mission in a big way and can’t wait to continue to support her cause.
