What you will learn

Many therapists would love to use aromatherapy in their massage or reflexology treatments but their original training did not include aromatherapy. This course will enable you to choose and blend your own carrier and essential oils, to add essential oils to base balms, creams, lotions etc., and to use pre-blended essential oils if you wish to do so. 

You will be able to use essential oils with confidence and understanding. You will know their properties and be able to select suitable essential oils to help your clients and meet their personal needs.
