• Description:

Aromatherapy is a natural technique designed to assist the body's natural ability to balance and maintain itself through the skilled use of essential oils. It is both an art and a science based on the interaction between the aromatherapist, the client and the essential oils, which all work together to elicit the client's innate, self-healing energy. Aromatherapy may be used as a preventative approach or as a support during various stages of illness or 'dis'-ease. As a holistic modality, aromatherapy is able to work on several levels -- physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual -- to effect over-all health, well-being, beauty and vitality.

   

Essential oils are the volatile (quickly-evaporating) essences produced by aromatic plants through the process of photosynthesis. The constituents of a plant's oil (its essence) may be extracted from its flowers, leaves, grasses, bark, peels, roots, seeds, and/or resins, and some plants can produce more than one essential oil, depending on the part used.  Essential oils contain a tremendous amount of a plant's energy, and only a small quantity is needed for significant effects. Individual oils or specially-prepared blends can be used for health-giving, meditative, restorative or relaxing purposes. By assisting the body directly in balancing itself and immediately reducing the stress that causes more than 75% of all illnesses; all of the body systems are affected in a positive way. By learning about aromatherapy, you can learn to take care of yourself, your friends and family, and paying clients in a practice of your own, as part of a CAM group, or for a spa.

   

Join us – on-line and in small classes to explore the “scent-sational” world of aromatherapy as a health care practice!  This class is for you if you would like to practice aromatherapy but not do bodywork or if you already have a bodywork practice. This clinical-level class is equivalent to 500 hours, and certification qualifies you to be recognized as a CERTIFIED AROMATHERAPY HEALTH PROFESSIONAL – WITHOUT BODYWORK [CAHP] by the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists. Get answers to the following questions – and more: What is aromatherapy? How does it work? What are its benefits? What exactly are essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils, how are they made, and how do we use them? You will learn the theory and its practical applications, holistic anatomy & physiology & pathology.  Class meetings will be hands-on and sharing of projects, such as: identifying oils by smell; making individualized blends: preparing & sharing health care products such as creams, lotions, etc.; preparing items that will help you expand your business. No case studies required for this certificate will include bodywork.

​

The main focus of this class is on guiding you to become a heart-focused, mindful practitioner in al of the work that you do.  Heart-focused interactions permit you to live a life and conduct your business, whatever it may turn out to be, to align with your values. Heart-focused interactions permit you to be able to make deeper connections with yourself, your work, your clients, your suppliers, and your community.  And heart-focused interactions permit you, too,  to become more mindful of your own growth, self, and health.

​

You will be presented with a truly holistic way of assessing a client -- the BelArôme LENS © -- so that the INDIVIDUALIZED BLEND you prepare will be the safest and most effective blend possible for your client.  This wider view of understanding your client will help you to better create a health plan for your client and to support your client along that client's health journey.

 

One of the extra features of this course is the on-line component.  On-line learning activities have been designed by the course instructor to help you learn, study, and review, alone or with others, and to help you prepare for the exams.  You can go completely at your own pace.

 

Another of the unique features of our course is that it includes a professional, fully observed Practice Clinic, which comes at the end of the foundations module and incorporates everything that you have learned to work with a client.  On the day of the Clinic, you will receive a new 'client', you will perform a full assessment, you will make an Individualized Blend for that client, and you will complete the consultation (which includes findings, use of blend, lifestyle suggestions, etc).  After the Client leaves, the class will get together with the instructor and review the sessions.  By the end of the day, you should be all ready to see clients on your own.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: All students are urged to join a professional Aromatherapy organization and obtain practitioner insurance - even as a student.  Each professional aromatherapy organization in North America has different requirements for professional membership that may or may not include certain number of study hours, certain number of case studies, and/or an entrance exam. As of 2019, the  BelArôme course curriculum at least meets all of the advanced requirements of each North American professional Aromatherapy organization. If the organization that you choose to join after you receive your certificate requires you to take its own exam, you will have to arrange it and pay them; it is not included in the exams for this course, but you can request that we act as a proctor if needed.
