Aromatherapy Workshops

Explore the powerful intersection of aromatherapy and massage in this hands-on workshop series designed specifically for licensed massage therapists. Each 12-hour module in the Clinical Aromatherapy Workshop Series is approved by the NCBTMB and provides practical, evidence-informed training in the therapeutic application of essential oils within a massage therapy setting.

Aromatherapy is a focused branch of herbalism that utilizes the concentrated plant essences known as essential oils for their potent therapeutic benefits. Rooted in both traditional plant medicine and modern clinical research, essential oils support a wide range of healing outcomes—from stress reduction and immune support to pain relief, tissue repair, and emotional balance.

​

In each workshop, participants will:

• Learn the foundations of clinical aromatherapy, including safety, dilution, and contraindications

• Explore the therapeutic properties of essential oils relevant to musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions

• Create custom blends and topical products such as massage oils, balms, compresses, and aromatic sprays

• Develop practical skills for integrating aromatherapy into massage sessions for enhanced therapeutic outcomes

• Deepen their understanding of plant energetics, scent profiles, and individualized client care

• Take home their handcrafted blends and receive a comprehensive workbook and recipes

​

Each 12-hour module focuses on a specific theme or body system, allowing therapists to build their knowledge and create a personalized aromatherapy toolkit over time. Whether you're new to essential oils or looking to refine your clinical use of aromatherapy, this series offers a grounded, hands-on, and deeply therapeutic approach to plant-based bodywork.

All essential oils and blending materials are included with registration. No prior aromatherapy training is required—just a massage license and an interest in expanding your healing practice through the art and science of aromatic medicine.
