ACHS Staff

Heather Baley, BA, CERT. AROMA

Institutional Effectiveness Project Manager

Heather grew up in Kalamazoo and as an adult, has lived in Portland, OR, Kailua Kona, HI and Sarasota, FL.  She started with ACHS in 2001 and has had the opportunity to work with multiple departments during her time with the college. She was attracted to the idea of working for a company that gave students the ability to use holistic health to improve their lives, the lives of those around them and to take the knowledge to advance their careers. 

She had the opportunity to attend an international aromatherapy conference with the founding president Dorene Petersen. She was able to meet directly with the growers, distillers, and distributors of ACHS’s essential oils which strengthened the confidence that she has in the quality of the herbs and oils that are supplied to our students and graduates. Heather is one of the longest employed staff at the college and is also a graduate of the Certificate in Aromatherapy program and various other undergraduate and graduate courses.  Because of this, she is able to bridge the gap between students and staff.

It is amazing to see my students making a difference in their lives, communities, and the field of holistic health.”
