| Aromatherapy Students - the stars of the future |
Massage is not appropriate to all settings for example establishments in which there is a no touch policy nonetheless the oils are able to be of measurable assistance even through inhalation on a flannel for example bringing calm and communication to a confused and anxious mind. For those not requiring practical massage training Sp also offer a distance learning Diploma providing full notes and materials and tutor support.
Many student practitioners who come to us are already in some way professionally qualified such as nurses and midwives who have already substantial experience. Some younger students have very little experience. It makes for an interesting learning group.
Besides the minimum standards and curriculum provided by the Aromatherapy Consortium of learning bodies and professional associations we learn about the aspects of aromatherapy which has always made the Shirley Price Aromatherapy Diploma the most valued worldwide qualification in aromatherapy. The practical aspects, the skincare, the research and practical applications of essential oils and vegetable oils to maintain wellness in mind and body whether inhaled or absorbed through the skin in a carrier oil.
Many students have gone on to found their own aromatherapy businesses and author research and books and teach. The next course begins in November 2013 and is taught at the Shirley Price Factory in Hinckley, Leicestershire LE100AN

An aromatherapy treatment consultation record
The client therapist relationship remains the bedrock of aromatherapy and of quality and consistency in professional aromatherapy treatments and advice. Clients can observe the direct benefits of treatments such as for arthritis and joint pain or a blotchy or wart affected complexion. If they couldnt they would not continue them and aromatherapy would not have the positive image among the public it has maintained for these four decades.
However we must keep up the standard established by our founders. The more knowledgeable the therapist the more confidence a client will have in their treatment and that confidence in the therapist and the restoration of their personal wellbeing is at the core of aromatherapy's effectiveness. To take a confused and bewildered individual from isolation and self harm to a feeling that they are an individual of infinite worth who deserves to be well and happy is perhaps the oils greatest gift and the therapists greatest reward.
May I wish you another enjoyable year of aromatherapy
