Introduction to Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy and essential oils have become very popular in recent years. But what is aromatherapy really? How do essential oils work? What is safe?
This online workshop covers all the basics and is a great foundation for further learning. If you have limited prior knowledge of aromatherapy, I recommend completing this first before doing our other workshops.
Workshop covers:
- What is Aromatherapy
- Essential oils: what they are & how they work
- Carrier oils & other fundamentals
- Safety issues
- Practical applications
Aromatherapy for Pregnancy & Birth – a workshop for practitioners
More women are seeking out complementary therapies to treat discomforts and enhance wellbeing during pregnancy and childbirth. Aromatherapy is one effective option that can be safe and easy to use. However, there is often concern about the use of essential oils during pregnancy with a wide range of conflicting and confusing advice.
Whilst not expected to be an expert, it is beneficial for practitioners caring for these women to be aware of what these therapies offer and where to look for professional advice and information.
In this workshop we will cover:
- Safety considerations of essential oil use during pregnancy
- Benefits & practical application of aromatherapy during pregnancy
- Effective use of aromatherapy during labour & birth
- Review of relevant research and case studies
NB. If you have limited prior knowledge of aromatherapy, I recommend completing the Introduction to Aromatherapy workshop first.
Aromatherapy for Postpartum & Baby Care: a workshop for practitioners
Essential oils and other aspects of aromatherapy can be a valuable resource to support a new mum, as she recovers from birth and adjusts to motherhood. Whilst the uncertainty of what’s safe in pregnancy has been left behind; caution is advised when using essential oils during lactation and around newborns.
It is beneficial for practitioners caring for new families to have an awareness of these considerations and know where to look for professional advice and information.
In this workshop we will cover:
• Safety aspects of essential oil use during lactation
• Benefits & practical application of aromatherapy during postpartum
• Safety aspects of essential oil use for babies
• Applications & alternatives for baby care
• Review of relevant research and case studies
NB. If you have limited prior knowledge of aromatherapy, I recommend completing the Introduction to Aromatherapy workshop first.
