Course Introduction
Aromatherapy is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways of relieving stress and tension from the strains of every day life.  It can also be used to help with pain relief of minor muscular disorders.  Aromatherapy will contribute to maintaining a healthy wellbeing both physiological and psychological.  The benefits of Aromatherapy are now being recognised and promoted by the medical field.
The Aromatherapy routine demonstrated will enable you to be able to perform a full body massage covering the chest, arms, back & front of legs, abdomen , back & shoulders and face and scalp, building on the skills that you have already achieved in body massage and adapting a routine specifically designed for your clients own individual needs.
