Aromatherapy Blending for Therapists

Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy, which is based on the use of essential oils to promote and maintain health and vitality. The concentrated essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants. Various parts of the plants, e.g. leaves, flowers, wood, seeds, roots or fruits, yield the essential oils. The oils are used in tiny amounts in massage, inhalations, aromatic baths, compresses, cosmetic preparations and many other specific applications. The oils are extremely concentrated and must be diluted before use, in most cases.

This class is designed to teach existing physical therapists how to blend their own massage blends to then use in treatments. Once completed, the class will allow you to create blends to use on your clients using only the 30 essential oils in this class. You will also not be able to create products to give your clients to take home and use - they are for use during your treatment only. If you would like to learn more about Aromatherapy, including the use of more oils and other methods of application, you may wish to look into our Aromatherapy Practitioner class.

Once completed, in order to receive your certificate which will then allow you to obtain insurance so that you can include using your own blended massage oils into your current physical therapy practices, you will need to submit a selection of case studies (30 case studies to be exact). These case studies will take the place of the final assessment.

PROFESSIONAL, CERTIFIED & INSURABLE COURSE

Upon successful completion of this course you will receive a Certified Diploma which is fully accredited with the IPHM and recognised for insurance purposes by Westminster and Towergate Insurance.

For those who wish to obtain insurance cover to practice their new skills on the public, after you have completed this course, we will give you details on how to go about obtaining insurance through our insurer to ensure you are fully covered.
