Aromatherapy is the scientific use of pure chemical substances know as ‘essential oils’.  Essential oils have been prizes for their fragrances as well as their restorative effects on the body, mind and spirit for thousands of years.  An aromatherapist is trained in various applications of these essential oils, such as aromatherapy massage, to promote good health. With a focus of aromatherapy based relaxation massage, this course provides a broad range of knowledge, skills and practical modalities such as Swedish Massage and Reflexology.

 Twenty essential oils will be studied including the chemical components which nature combines to make up the oils.  The character, origin and properties of each oil will be examined for its benefits and uses in treatment of various conditions.
