Aromatherapy Classes

This six-part series is designed for anyone who has a desire to learn about aromatherapy.

 Each class focuses on a specific area of aromatherapy and we help you design and create a product at the end of each session. Whether you are experienced with aromatherapy or brand new to it there is always something to share and learn and the classes are not only informative but also fun!

We do try to keep the classes small so that everyone has a chance to ask questions and share their thoughts so pre-registration is required for each class and it is preferred that the classes be paid for when you register. Knowing how many people will be with us allows us to make sure that we have enough handouts available.  With proper notice, you do not lose any money if you cancel or change your class dates.

This series of Aromatherapy classes includes 6 levels.  All classes take place on Sundays and run approximately 3 1/2 hours in length. Our classes are held all year round.  Bring a pen and paper if you like but all other materials are provided.
The classes are informal, interactive and designed to give a good basic knowledge of aromatherapy and essential oils.  They also qualify as CEU’s with MTANS. Receipts will be issued for tax purposes.
