Our aim is to train and empower learners to become qualified Holistic Aromatherapists.
How do I do this?
You need to visit Nelson for three weeks of the year to be taught by Shelley the hands-on, practical aspects of Aromatherapy and to gain knowledge from her years of professional practice in her Aromaflex clinic. The in-class experience is crucial to becoming the best Aromatherapist you can be, so you can practice and become a confident, knowledgeable, experienced, and qualified therapist. Learning various techniques, such as pregnancy massage, half-hour aromatherapy, facials, etc., is a way to provide more support for your clients, family, and friends as you offer a range of Aromatic Medicine options.
You must commit to at least 3 weeks of travel within the year to come and study in Nelson, the top of the South Island, New Zealand.
The study provides client charts so you can capture client data and learn to formulate and create bespoke blends for your clients before performing the aromatherapy massage. This is a way to develop the skills needed to practice professionally from your own clinic, either at home or in other professional settings.
There is plenty of student support along the way, and the study can take one to two years to complete. The learner also has the option to complete only the in-house qualification (which is internationally recognised with IFPA) or, if you wish to attain the ITEC Diploma, to arrange to sit these exams at the end of every year.
(This qualification trains you in the traditional 'English style of Aromatherapist', as it is known by the French, Britain, Europe, South Africa and Australia)
