Service Description

This four-hour workshop brings together key areas of aromatherapy knowledge that are essential for anyone who wants to use natural wellness tools safely, confidently, and effectively. The class begins with a clear and accessible look into the science and chemistry of aromatherapy, helping you understand what essential oils are made of, how their chemical families influence their actions, and why they interact with the body the way they do. You’ll learn what gives an essential oil its scent, its strength, and its unique therapeutic qualities. This foundation makes it easier to choose oils with purpose rather than guesswork. From there, we move into the world of hydrosols—gentle, water-based distillates that offer a wide range of uses. You’ll learn how hydrosols are created, how they differ from essential oils, and why they are ideal for sensitive situations such as skincare, children, animals, and emotional support. We will explore several popular hydrosols and their practical applications so you can begin using them with confidence in your home routine. The workshop then shifts into aromatherapy safety for animals, including dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and larger animals like horses. With so much conflicting information online, this section provides clear, evidence-informed guidance on what is safe, what should be avoided, and how to create a supportive environment for the animals in your life. You’ll also learn how animals respond to scent and how to use aromatherapy in ways that respect their needs and sensitivities. Finally, we cover essential oil safety during pregnancy, including which oils are considered appropriate, how to dilute them properly, and which oils or practices should be avoided. This segment offers practical, reassuring guidance that supports comfort and wellbeing while maintaining safety throughout pregnancy. Throughout the class, you’ll receive straightforward explanations, trustworthy safety information, real-life examples, and practical tools you can use immediately. This workshop is designed to help you build a strong and informed foundation in aromatherapy, whether you’re supporting yourself, your family, or your animals. All materials provided. No prior experience required.
