Aromatherapy Course Blog

There are a lot of commercials out in the media today touting Aromatherapy, but did you notice that they are all geared towards Women?

What about Men?  Aren’t men interested in Aromatherapy too? Of course they are! Aromatherapy Courses aren’t just made for women but Men also play a huge part in the search for alternatives.

Aromatherapy Courses teach you all about how to relieve stress and tension. Don’t men suffer from theses symptoms?

Aromatherapy Courses teach about thinning hair and common complaints such as athletes foot. Don’t men suffer from these ailments?

What about strained muscles from playing sports? Don’t men need to know how to make a good aromatherapy blend to help reduce the pain of overworked muscles? An Aromatherapy Course teaches how to make blends.

Do you know that it was a man who first coined the word “Aromatherapy”? Yes Rene Gattefosse.

So Yes, Aromatherapy Courses are just as valuable for men as they are for women.

Reviews, Testimonials
From Our Students

~ I took an Aromatherapy course before in Massage school I, and this course had SO much more information than I could have ever imagined. It was like my Massage class was just the tip of the Aromatherapy Iceberg. This course is worth EVERY PENNY and SO MUCH MORE! I’ve looked at many books on Aromatherapy and took other classes, but nothing that even compares to this. It is a great reference manual and you can refer back to it as you progress in the future. The Foundations Course has wonderful detail and nice quizzes at the end of each chapter. You can study at your own pace. If you don’t understand something, you can go back and try it again. Sharron is a wonderful teacher and always just an email away. She helped me out quite a few times during my study and is such a nice and caring person. If you even remotely have an interest in Aromatherapy, I highly recommend the Foundations Course. You will not be disappointed. ~Annette Nair Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA

I simply can’t say enough about this course. I actually took a course before costing me $1,200 to get my certification. I wanted to take this course just for the fun to see what was in it. Well I was so surprised! This aromatherapy course offered so much information and was so well laid out. It was 10 times better than the course I spent $1,200 dollars on! Way to go Sharron. You’re a great teacher and I hope many others will be smart enough to take the time to read your course. -Charlene Russel Fort Worth, Texas, USA

You’re course is awesome! It went into more detail than the “certified clinical aromatherapy” course that I paid a heck of alot more money for! Good Job Sharon I learned more about blending oils in the 7 groups for perfumery, balms and body sprays. It is very well explained. Yes you can use my recommendation Sharon has put together a wonderful course on the “Foundations of Aromatherapy”. If you are new to aromatherapy and would like to learn a little about it, then I highly recommend this course! Sharon’s course is very detailed and is professionally layed out. I have taken other courses before for alot more money and they were not near as informative as this. You definately won’t be going wrong, you are getting great information here from a professional!!! Barbara Hicks

Hello Sharon, Wow!!! What a Great book you have written, it was very thorough. I truly enjoyed it!!! My favorite chapters were Lesson 2 , lesson 4, lesson 6, Really all the lessons were great. I can not say enough. The quizzes were not too bad, I miss some of them. YOU are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much Soukhy Rasasack Luz Health Care Administrator Jacksonville, FL.

A lot of people today wonder if taking an aromatherapy course is necessary. If you are one of these people then please let me explain why I think you should be taking an aromatherapy course.

I know, I know, you are all thinking “Of course, she is going to talk about the how great aromatherapy courses are! She wrote one!”

But really, even if I were not a certified Aromatherapist I would still suggest you take an aromatherapy course. I obviously did, but perhaps for different reasons than you would choose.

There IS a lot of information available on the internet in regards to aromatherapy but not all of it is truthful.

In fact, there are actually some very dangerous practices going on that a newbie to aromatherapy would think is perfectly fine.

By taking a good aromatherapy course you would know what is safe and what is dangerous when it comes to using essential oils.

Perhaps you only want to dabble in aromatherapy for personal pleasure. Should you take an aromatherapy course if that is your only desire? Definitely yes!

Would you really like to find out that you did something dangerous when applying essential oils to yourself or your family?

Taking an aromatherapy course will allow you to find out how to use essential oils effectively and safely. An aromatherapy course can give you ideas on how to use aromatherapy in ways you may not have considered before.

You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good aromatherapy course. You don’t need to become a certified Aromatherapist in order to enjoy the benefits of an aromatherapy course either.

Here are just a few examples of why an aromatherapy course would be good for you to take:
• There is misleading information on the Internet
• Essential oils can be toxic. You need to know the contraindications of these oils.
• An aromatherapy course will save you a lot of time and error
• You will learn which essential oils are best for various symptoms
• You will learn which oils are best to use on children and the elderly
• You will be able to be a more knowledgeable caregiver to your aging parents
• A good Aromatherapy Course will teach you which oils are good for men, young women, older women, children, and the elderly

So, should You take an aromatherapy course? Definitely Yes!
Remember, Aromatherapy courses are not just for aromatherapists. Be informed and take an aromatherapy course so that you can safely and effectively use essential oils for yourself and for your family.
