Class Descriptions

Aromatherapy Basics
This is a class for the beginner and novice aroma enthusiast.  The class covers some basic history, uses, blending and recipes for using 6 essential oils.  The time involved is about 2.5 hours and you will leave with a short manual that we cover during the class and the opportunity to experience the six basic oils that we covered.   Questions are encouraged and expected in this class.  The oils used may vary depending on the season. For instance in the spring and summer I will include the usual Lavender, Tea Tree, Peppermint but the other three will change upon the seasons.  In summer will include Citronella or Lemongrass (bug deterrents and uplifting oils) instead of Eucalyptus in the winter for colds and flu’s.  Also in the summer I like to include Clary Sage for the benefits of hormonal assistance for women and for its benefits in cellulite lotions.  I always include a citrus either orange or lemon in every season.  The other oils that are optional like Cedarwood or Geranium may be included.

The students will leave with knowledge of how to use oils safely and wisely and a sense of adventure to create their own blends afterwards.  Each student will make their own massage or bath gel blend (60mls) to take home with them.

The cost to this class is $40.00 and receipts are given for training purposes.  The new student can also sign up for the monthly newsletter from Enlightened Oils where recipes and testimonials are available as well as seasonal specials.

A starter basket of the oils covered will be offered for sale at $75.00 that includes a small water based diffuser. Payment can be made by credit card by contacting directly by phone or email.
