Dates for your diaries September 2026 Intake! Aromatherapy, Essential Oil Practitioner and Reflexology Diplomas This is the complete timetable for theory training. All theory classes are online and start at 7pm till 9.00pm (GMT)...depends how much we chat 😁 All practical training, where applicable, will be arranged on an individual basis. Each student will get their own individual Structure and Schedule contracts. ‘The Book’ means working through each of the 5 modules of my book covering the 54 oils you will be learning about. This will give you first-hand experience of the oils as you work towards your own personal ‘Dreams and Aspirations’ and addressing any issues you might have personally. It is also a working model that you can use in your Clinic to assess your client’s needs. What better way than to put yourself through the process first. All will be revealed 😊 . There are a further 17 EO’s which I call ‘The Poisons’, which have to be looked at (Core Curriculum requirements), but you won’t be using in Aromatherapy, certainly not on the skin. Reflexology students do not need to study The Poisons. 'Aromatherapy' covers all the theory and practice of Aromatherapy and to be completed by all students. 'A&P' is Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, with particular emphasis on pathology and the relevant Essential Oils. You will not be required to sit this module if you already hold an A&P level 3 minimum with a stand-alone certification. But it will still be useful as we look at Pathologies and relevant essential oils. This will have been discussed at your interview. Practical hands-on training. All practical training (UK only) will be at your locality or at my home. Essential Oil Practitioners don’t have hands on training. 2026 Tuesday 15th September: Aromatherapy: History, Principles of Aromatherapy, Application of Essential Oils, Storage and handling. Tuesday 22nd September: A&P: Skeleton and Muscular systems. Tuesday 29th September: Aromatherapy: D.A.F.T. (Dosage, Application, Frequency and Time). Methods of extraction. Top, middle & base notes, What EO’s do and don’t do!

…… to @Davina Salter who passed her Essential Oil Practitioner Diploma yesterday afternoon! Her hard work and professional diligence paid off! Already a massage therapist, Reflexologist, Reiki therapist and high end aesthetician, Davina will be adding EO’s to her existing therapies and long term intention is to develop her own skin care range. Her beaming smile says it all! Mahoosive congratulations hun, and welcome to the Maverick Aromatherapist tribe, you are now a fully fledged member!!!

So, diffuser time to send summer flies packing. I laughed when I saw my bottle of citronella in the back of my kitchen draw. @Jane Lawson popped straight in my head... "its in the poisons book!" 😆 But being a rebel i decided a couple of citronella (famous and common fly repellent), couple of lavender.... let's get rid of the fly situation. How wrong was I! 😆😆😆 No change with flies, and in fact, I had one sit on the top of my diffuser - taunting me 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣 so not only is citronella a poison, its blooming useless! Out came Buddha Wood, Cedar Wood and Spearmint ... its now definitely helping! 👏😆 Hit me with your fly blends that work! 🪰
