Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of blended essential oils in a body or facial massage. Essential oils are the pure life blood and essence of a plant, tree, or flower. Each oil has a different property and effect. Students learn the top, middle, and base notes and how to blend them and practice giving body consultations and basic facial analysis. Students also learn how to prepare, apply, and remove essential oil compresses to and from the back and chest.
Class clinic includes hands-on training in how to administer a very refined 1-1/2 hour full-body massage using Swedish, Lymphatic Drainage Techniques, Pressure Release, Postural Alignment, and Reflexology. Students receive an Aromatherapy Manual and are requested to bring their own linens to class.
