Aromaflex is a ground breaking therapy which incorporates the use of Aromatherapy Essential Oils in conjunction with reflexology and is designed for those who already possess a L3 or above qualification in Reflexology. The course is a mixture of online work and a face to face blending workshop, with additional tutorials if necessary.
The course is available as two separate courses:-
An Introduction to Aromaflex
Aromaflex

Blending Practical Workshop |
This is a comprehensive course which is comprised of 18 online modules which takes you through the 40 essential oils and 20 carrier oils we cover in the course, plus a mandatory blending workshop.
Each online module contains lots of questions and in the course there are lots of video clips and audio clips. I produce the video and audio clips in my office or treatment room (so they are not super slick!), but sometimes you just need to see somebody doing something or hear how they explain things rather than looking at flat text.
We all cover all sorts of different ways of delivering the oils - so oils will be mixed with creams, oils, using in bath products, sprays, roll ons.
Some things cannot be taught online, so we have a mandatory blending normally in October, which is carried out at the QE2 Centre in Southampton. The blending workshop is an important part of the course.

Case studies.3 people need to each receive 6 treatments. A treatment should be a physical treatment, such as reflexology, where you use essential oils as part of the treatment. Additionally you need to complete 24 blends. These do not have to be associated with a treatment, so you may carry out a consultation and provide a client a spray which they use every time they get anxious. This still counts as a blend. In total, you need to complete and write up 42 treatments. |
