Course Description: If you want to explode your understanding of how to incorporate aromatherapy essential oils to your practice, this online massage therapy continuing education course is for you. You will learn how to use aromatherapy for a wide range of conditions you routinely encounter in your massage therapy practice, such as stress, arthritis, circulation problems, edema, headaches, inflammation, joint pain, muscle soreness, sports massage, sprains, and more. With each oil, you will study its common and Latin names, general properties, precautions, physiological and psychological applications, essential oils that can serve as possible substitutions, essential oils that blend well with it, a description of its scent, for which skin types it is appropriate, and the classification of the "note" (a measure of the rate of evaporation of the oil.)

The 32 essential oils covered in the course are: Basil, Bergamot, Birch, Carrot Seed, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Clove, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Geranium, Ginger, Jasmine, Juniper, Lavender, Lemongrass, Orange, Patchouli, Pepper, Peppermint, Pine, Rose, Rosemary, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Tangerine, Tea Tree, Thyme, Vetiver, and Ylang Ylang.  (It is up to you to obtain the oils from the supplier of your choice.)

Student Comment: "I received my materials in a timely manner and would like to compliment you and your team. I was so excited to receive the materials and get started. I had researched other courses for aromatherapy but kept returning to your course offering, now that I have started the course I know why. It looks exactly what I was searching for. I have been enjoying the course and I am looking forward to practicing with my clients and completing it." Terrence Sirois, Pawtucket, RI

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Will your online courses work on my phone, tablet, or other device? Yes. Since technology continues its rapid pace forward, it is impossible for us to provide a current and complete list of all devices on which our courses will work. We invite you to take our free sample course so that you can personally test if the online content works on your device.

Can I review the course materials after I’ve completed the test? Yes. Even after completing the test, you will have the option to access the online course materials, print another CE certificate, or review your test results. We promise this access for at least one year. We have always exceeded that time period, however, technology updates sometimes make older data inaccessible, so we do not promise more than one year. For this reason, we recommend that you save copies of your certificates and any downloadable PDF files that you may wish to access indefinitely.

Can I print the online test to work on it at my convenience?  We provide a study guide with this course that has the test questions and answer choices. You can print it off and work on it as you study. When you are ready to take the test, you will log into the system and supply your answers to the test questions. Because the study guide contains the actual test questions, we do not provide an answer key. It is your job to find the answers as you study. You will get your grade when you complete the online exam.

What happens if I fail the test? Do I have to pay again? No. If you happen to fail our test, you can continue to retest until you do pass at no additional charge.

Do you report our course completions to the NCBTMB, ABMP, AMTA, or any other agencies? None of these agencies have a method for us to report to them on your behalf. They prefer that you provide the evidence of CEs that their renewal process details. 

CE Broker Reporting:  Institute of Somatic Therapy will automatically report your hours to CE Broker in applicable states ONLY IF you have provided your license number in your online account with us.
