Aromatherapist Anne Williams shares her unique model of aromatherapy in this special course for massage therapists. Explore the relationship of plants and people through history to understand how plants developed special meanings. Then, use the cultural histories and properties of juniper trees, bergamot, and lavender to create aromatherapy blends using essential oils to apply in diffusers, aroma mists, massage lubricants, baths, and steam showers. You’ll learn that every plant has a history. Every plant has a truth. Every plant has a story that can help us regenerate our energy and bring our best selves to the practice of massage and the practice of life.
