In this episode of The Menowave Lounge: Hot Flashes and Cool Conversations, host Robin Duke sits down with Anna Dannfelt — veteran aromatherapist, sacred transformation guide, and passionate educator on the healing power of scent.
With over 35 years of experience, Anna’s journey began in a forest cottage in Sweden, where she discovered essential oils while raising her children and foraging herbs. What followed was a lifelong commitment to helping women navigate life’s natural transitions — especially menopause — with the support of nature, science, and spirit.
In this conversation, Anna unpacks the deeper emotional and hormonal support essential oils can offer, and how even one drop can spark powerful shifts in mood, energy, and well-being.
