Our Aromatherapy and Massage in Pregnancy course is designed for aromatherapists who seek to enhance their practical skills and knowledge in the therapeutic care of pregnant clients. The course will be facilitated by Shirley-Anne Foster and Amanda Blumsom, professional aromatherapists who between them have a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field.

This 2-weekend Advanced Certificate Course will combine practical and theory-based learning, and is  designed to clearly demonstrate the benefits and use of massage and essential oils throughout the different stages of pregnancy. Particular focus will be given to understanding the changing physiology and emotions of the pregnant mother, and how best to address these changes at each stage of pregnancy through aromatherapy massage.
