On the search for relaxing Sydney activities? In this beginner's aromatherapy class, you'll be introduced to the theories of how your body and mind respond to essential oils.
Learning the skill of blending gives you a foundation to create your own products.
The practical part of this course teaches you how to make your own aromatic home products that are safe and plant-based, using essential oils.
During the hands-on class, you will create 4 of your own individual products to take home:
  • 2 x 25 ml aromatic oil blends that you can use as a face/body moisturizer or massage oil.
  • Room or pillow mist or facial toner
  • One roll-on blend that fits your purse. Great for meditation or relaxation.
Taught by an experienced and professional aromatherapist, this interactive aromatherapy course is designed to give you an understanding of the established and practical applications of essential oils. This aromatherapy workshop will educate you about the claimed therapeutic properties of essential oils and what to look out for when purchasing your oils.
Class outline:

  • The good and ugly: how to use and not use essential oils
  • How the body and mind absorb those oils, what this means for our well-being, and how to use the knowledge to benefit yourself
  • Basic essential oil chemistry to help you understand which oils to choose
  • Mixing and blending rules
  • A variety of application methods including diffuser, in the shower or bath, inhaling, and massage
Explore how aromatherapy may impact your physical and mental well-being, and how essential oils are commonly used to treat headaches, and muscle aches, ease anxiety, boost energy and more. You'll also find out about the risks and dangers that you need to consider when using aromatherapy products to ensure the application is in a safe and controlled manner.
We'll cover common application methods as well as teach you how you can mix and blend your products.
