CPD – Unusual Essential Oils
unusual essential oils CPD training course - online
Presented by Helen Nagle-Smith MIFPA ITHMA
A three-hour online aromatherapy course with clinical aromatherapist, aromatherapy author and educator Helen Nagle-Smith.
Are you fed up with using the same essential oils? Stuck in a rut buying and replacing the same ones? Do you want to relive the excitement of exploring a new essential oil with your peers?
Then join Helen on a fascinating journey as we dive into some unusual essential oils.
The course is a combination of lecture, research and fun yet practical exercises to elevate your clinical aromatherapy experience. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and feedback.
A copy of the slides and a list of references will be available after the course.
You can attend the course without buying the essential oils, but you will benefit most if you have them to hand while learning about them. A list of potential suppliers will be sent to you after you book your place.
The session will be recorded and made available exclusively to attendees once the course has concluded.
