List Moderator: Let's talk about...schools

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

 

Since the subject of schools came up, I thought that we can talk about

aromatherapy schools. Please tell us your own experience with the school

that you went to. Please tell us:

The School Name and Location

If it is by Correspondence or In-Class

How much it was?

Phone number and/or URL

 

 

 

Mississauga School of Aromatherapy

Correspondence and In-Class Course in Toronto, Canada.

Address in is our Links page.

I took this course by correspondence over a year ago. The course was written

by Martin Watt and teaches you over 50 different oils. It goes into a great

deal about safety. It also has a practical part where I studied with a woman

here in Montreal. The course was about $1000 CAD which is great for all you

Americans. I enjoyed the course but I do not feel confidant enough to start

practicing yet. I feel as though I would of benefited more from an in

class-course and am looking forward to doing some more studying in the fall.

I also took this course but inclass. It was a very enjoyable, informative

and a thorough course.

A word of warning about books: most books written about aromatherapy

(essential oils) leave something to be desired. Lack of safety information

is foremost the leading downside to learning in this way.

 

To save anyone *lots* of money buying every little book on aromatherapy I do

recommend the following texts:

 

The Aromatherapy Practitioner Reference Manual by Sylla Sheppard-Hanger

This 2 book set is for people who are *serious* about essential oils. It is

not cheap( around $200 Canadian) but worth every penny!! I highly recommend

this one. These are the manuals that the above mentioned school uses for

the advanced aromatherapy course.

 

 

Advanced Aromatherapy by Kurt Schnaubelt

This book is for those wishing to learn about the chemistry end of essential

oils.

 

I probably have about 30+ books on aromatherapy, essential oils etc and the

above 2 are the ones that are well used :-)
