Benefits of completing an Anatomy and Physiology Refresher are many….
Complementary therapy professionals need a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology to be safe and effective practitioners. We do not need to know all the names of every structure, but when we understand some of the intricacies about how we have been put together and how structure serves function we can extend this into our treatments when appropriate. Appreciation of nutrition, lifestyle impacts, physiological processes, conventional approaches to conditions and so forth broadens our awareness.
It is important to recognize the role anatomy and physiology play in providing a quality treatment and there are numerous reasons to keep our knowledge uptodate.
-
It helps us know when to treat or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
In any profession, it is important to know when you can help and when you cannot. The more we understand about pathology the more we will know when it is appropriate to refer patients whose symptoms exceed our abilities and experience, and perhaps to know who to refer them to. We will also know when what we offer may be of assistance to a client.
-
It helps communication and confidence both with clients and other health professionals.
Being able to talk the same language, enables us to dialogue more eloquently and effectively with other health care professionals as well as our clients. Building professional relationships with industry peers, or with clients, is built on trust and your ability to demonstrate your sound knowledge of all areas that influence, and are influenced by your chosen therapy. This is important for referrals – especially as it is becoming increasingly common for complementary practitioners to work within surgeries and group practices and it is helpful for us to explain what we are doing and, if necessary, contrast our work with other approaches.

We may get a greater understanding of the links to other parts and be more accurate in our ability to pinpoint the problem – and therefore a solution.
-
Accountability:
Complementary medicine is undergoing much greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments, the medical profession, bodies speaking for CAM and the majority of practitioners themselves are keen to validate the instances where patients can truly benefit from complementary approaches. There has been a call for more research and more regulation within many therapies and different bodies are working to respond to this.
-
Fascination:
Is it not just simply fascinating? The more we work with and learn about the body, the more we are amazed and humbled by the magical processes that continually go on, generally keeping us healthy but also adapting to illness or distress when needed.
Why do an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course?
- Did you train some time ago?
- Not practised treatments for a while?
- Do you need to retake your anatomy and physiology qualification to replace an out of date qualification?
- Are you returning to the industry after a long-term leave?
- Did you complete the course in the past but never complete?
- Are you qualified but need more confidence in your anatomical knowledge?
- Or are you just interested in refreshing and deepening your knowledge to make you a better practitioner?
Do you know that knowledge has half-life just like radioactive isotopes? It degrades with time, when it is not applied on regular basis. All that you need to do is to refresh it from time to time and brush up your skills, to remain current.
Refresher courses on anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist. Developing a fascination with how the body works should be a lifelong pursuit.
Why choose an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course with classroom learning?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology require serious study, and you learned and revisit it in various ways, including textbooks, videos, charts, models and online courses. In today’s working environment, we have access to more ways to train and develop people than ever before. Unlimited learning opportunities are available to us in the form of E-learning, mobile learning, social media and virtual training and we are led to believe from the marketing of e-learning course providers that traditional classroom style training sessions are just a time consuming, antiquated, and costly method of training?
We believe that every method of learning has its own merits and used for the right thing with the right people at the right time, any type of learning intervention is likely to produce results. However, in our ever-increasing virtual world there seems to be a need for real interaction. Classroom sessions provide this in the form of a real person who can deliver information in an interesting way. A trainer is also a subject expert who can answer concerns and questions right away and, as a specialist, can share the benefit of their years of experience.
The need for this human interaction is only set to increase with more people spending so much time isolated by working on their computers with little people contact. People not only generally learn better from other people, but they retain this information for longer. It has been proven that people retain information much better when they have an emotional reaction to it. That’s why great trainers are so highly valued because they are skilled at delivering information in a way that excites, inspires, motivates and engages their audiences.
Our love of Face to Face teaching
As an independent school we have the option to just offer lucrative distance only learning classes but we prefer traditional face to face teaching for the following reasons:-
1) Subject matter experts are on hand to give you on the spot practical help and answer questions
2) There are opportunities to tackle subjects and questions outside the standard remit of the course
3) You will receive immediate help and support with correcting mistakes and getting it right
4) Networking with other learners, sharing experiences and social interaction are part of the process
5) Real, practical and hands-on use of the tools and techniques are a major benefit
6) Expert trainers will make the learning experience engaging, interesting and enjoyable
7) We can instantly adapt the teaching methods to suit the needs of the delegates
8) Quiet, dedicated time out to really focus on your needs – once you’re in the classroom, you’re on the road to success. As in life, 80 percent of education is showing up, in person.
9) You’ll receive a multi sensory experience that appeals to more of your multiple intelligences
10) Benefit from valuable feedback from the trainer and others in the group
11) No problems with motivation, self-discipline or feelings of isolation common to distance learning.

Event Details
We all realise that recent years have brought an amazing progress to the field of aromatherapy making it more of an ‘aroma-medicine’ rather than ‘relaxing’ or ‘pampering’ therapy of the past. Gone are the days of blending with ‘top’, ‘middle’ and ‘base’. Essential oils are no longer seen as having dozens of therapeutic properties, each of which we are meant to memorize. The medicinal qualities and uses of individual oils are better understood nowadays as a result of scientific research.
Those who trained some time ago may be unfamiliar with the new perspectives. It is however daunting and not always easy to ‘catch up’ on our own… There are not that many books or aromatherapy conferences presenting the subject at the current level, research is difficult to find and either expensive to access or worded in a too scientific language… Often what we need to keep us on track some structured interaction with the tutor and fellow therapists to make the process easier and most importantly enjoyable.
Feedback from our aromatherapy workshops confirm that many aromatherapists feel that they have got somehow stuck ‘back in time’ and would have loved to train in this subject now, in the days of clinical science based aromatherapy.
Well now you have the opportunity to do so……we have developed a refresher course like no other, which enables you to revisit the core elements of the training with current facts. No exams! No case studies! No massage! Just wall to wall information! It offers you both the chance to refresh and update your knowledge and also to rekindle your passion for subject, fill in the gaps and to grow further. It will also strengthen the foundations for fuller understanding of the many advanced workshops we have available and offers an easier path for those who wish to take their aromatherapy studies further.
Course Details
This comprehensive 8-day essential oil therapy refresher course enables you to revisit your aromatherapy training and offers you a unique opportunity to take a leap into the 21st century aromatherapy – clinical aroma-medicine!
During the course, alongside students new to aromatherapy, we will re-examine the basics and build on them to bring ourselves upto speed with the current knowledge and understanding of aromatherapy. To achieve this we will revisit the core aspects of aromatherapy training:- from methods of application, in depth profiles of 60 essential and a wide range of vegetable oils, basic science and modern therapeutic blending approach to research based information.
There has never been a better time to be an aromatherapist. Aromatherapy of the 21st century is more credible than ever! During the last two decades many fantastic scientific discoveries have been brought to the field of aromatherapy.
These developments coupled with scientific research allow us to work more specifically and in many different ways – here are some examples:
- A better understanding of the therapeutic properties of oils and their chemical constituents enables us to have an accurate understanding of which conditions each of the oils is best for? We can now focus on the principal therapeutic properties and fewer conditions, making practice simpler yet potentially more beneficial.
- A greater understanding of the chemical make-up of essential and fixed oils leads to more specific selection and application of essential oils for particular conditions – choose the best oil for the job at hand! (Did you know we can combat MRSA?!)
- Validation (or not!!) of so called ‘traditional uses’ of many essential oils. (Did you know that modern science has actually measured free radical scavenging ability of many essential oils? This means that we can now choose best antioxidants for our skin care formulations! And no, frankincense does not seem to be the best one! )
- Interaction of essential oils with medication – stay safe! (Did you know that some chemical compounds very commonly occurring in essential oils speed up the absorption of drugs over 50 times?!!)
- Scientific Synergy – within the oil and within the blend! Blending of essential oil for therapeutic application based on their composition rather than restrictive perfumery ‘notes’ system.
- Non-massage applications are gaining popularity and changing aromatherapy practice – use them in your practice too!
- Understanding of how aromatherapy works on emotional level is now based on science!
This is a flexible course – you are welcome to attend it all or pick and choose sections that interest you most!
No exam and no case studies! No pressure – just information in simple-to-understand language, new skills and professional development!
To give you an idea of some of the material that will be covered:
- The basics of modern aromatherapy – the myths, the media, the high street versus the real thing!
- Connect to the sources of oils – Why and how do plants produce essential and fixed oils?
- In search of the oils – seeds, rhizomes, flowers, etc. – where are the oils stored?
- Classification of plants – how to use this knowledge and why is it ‘a must’ for a professional aromatherapist?
- General therapeutic properties of the essential oils of each botanical family
- Whole day – AROMATHERAPY FIELD TRIP – KEW GARDENS!!
- Various methods of application including to burn or not to burn…? Plus how to stay safe
- Dosage- ITEC guidelines and outside ITEC – recommendations of leading bodies – stay safe (not all books are!)
- Safety– up to date approach – oils that should never be used, oils that should be used with caution, contraindications – conditions and oils
- How to smell the oils like a pro
- How to get the most of your oils – buying oils, storing oils, etc – crucial to the successful practice!
- The historical background of aromatherapy– the myths and the reality
- Sources of modern aroma-information
- Focusing on the oils (fixed & essential)–a close in-depth look
- Chemistry of essential oils – the basic science – open the door to modern aroma-medicine
- Methods of extraction (including Cohobation, fractional distillation, solvent extraction and others) and what it means in terms of aromatherapy practice – the difference between essential oils, absolutes and extracts – what they are and how to use them (or not)
- Chemistry of essential oils – the basic science – open the door to modern aroma-medicine
- Types/groups of chemical constituents common in essential oils – terpenes, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, etc–learning what is what?
- Why is chemistry important? – contraindications, precautions and therapeutic effects for each group of chemical constituents and how it affects the practice of aromatherapy
- Adulteration and the quality of fixed and essential oils – methods of quality control and how to take advantage of them
- Therapeutic properties – science based approach – how does it work and why?
- How to use science to maximise the effects of your treatments
- Stay safe – friendly and not so friendly components of essential oils – make informed choices
- Essential oils and chemotypes – a key to success! You simply must know them!
- Blending essential oils – how to do it well and benefit your clients
- Modern synergistic blending based on components of essential oils (therapeutic rather than blending based on perfumery notes of the past)
- Learning to use your nose
- The all-important ratios – how to work them out – and staying safe.
- How does it work? – the theories of synergy and adaptogen
- Guidelines for creating synergistic blends
- The ‘connection’ between the chemical composition of essential oils and therapeutic blending – how to get it right?!
- Different approaches to blending
- The historical/traditional ‘notes’ system
- The aroma-groups system

Why is the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology so important?
Benefits of completing an Anatomy and Physiology Refresher are many….
Complementary therapy professionals need a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology to be safe and effective practitioners. We do not need to know all the names of every structure, but when we understand some of the intricacies about how we have been put together and how structure serves function we can extend this into our treatments when appropriate. Appreciation of nutrition, lifestyle impacts, physiological processes, conventional approaches to conditions and so forth broadens our awareness.
It is important to recognize the role anatomy and physiology play in providing a quality treatment and there are numerous reasons to keep our knowledge uptodate.
-
It helps us know when to treat or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
In any profession, it is important to know when you can help and when you cannot. The more we understand about pathology the more we will know when it is appropriate to refer patients whose symptoms exceed our abilities and experience, and perhaps to know who to refer them to. We will also know when what we offer may be of assistance to a client.
-
It helps communication and confidence both with clients and other health professionals.
Being able to talk the same language, enables us to dialogue more eloquently and effectively with other health care professionals as well as our clients. Building professional relationships with industry peers, or with clients, is built on trust and your ability to demonstrate your sound knowledge of all areas that influence, and are influenced by your chosen therapy. This is important for referrals – especially as it is becoming increasingly common for complementary practitioners to work within surgeries and group practices and it is helpful for us to explain what we are doing and, if necessary, contrast our work with other approaches.
-
Precision:
In bodywork, the more detailed our understanding of the structures and processes occurring under our hands, the more precise we can be with what we are doing. We may get a greater understanding of the links to other parts and be more accurate in our ability to pinpoint the problem – and therefore a solution.
-
Accountability:
Complementary medicine is undergoing much greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments, the medical profession, bodies speaking for CAM and the majority of practitioners themselves are keen to validate the instances where patients can truly benefit from complementary approaches. There has been a call for more research and more regulation within many therapies and different bodies are working to respond to this.
-
Fascination:
Is it not just simply fascinating? The more we work with and learn about the body, the more we are amazed and humbled by the magical processes that continually go on, generally keeping us healthy but also adapting to illness or distress when needed.
Why do an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course?
- Did you train some time ago?
- Not practised treatments for a while?
- Do you need to retake your anatomy and physiology qualification to replace an out of date qualification?
- Are you returning to the industry after a long-term leave?
- Did you complete the course in the past but never complete?
- Are you qualified but need more confidence in your anatomical knowledge?
- Or are you just interested in refreshing and deepening your knowledge to make you a better practitioner?
Do you know that knowledge has half-life just like radioactive isotopes? It degrades with time, when it is not applied on regular basis. All that you need to do is to refresh it from time to time and brush up your skills, to remain current.
Refresher courses on anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist. Developing a fascination with how the body works should be a lifelong pursuit.
Why choose an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course with classroom learning?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology require serious study, and you learned and revisit it in various ways, including textbooks, videos, charts, models and online courses. In today’s working environment, we have access to more ways to train and develop people than ever before. Unlimited learning opportunities are available to us in the form of E-learning, mobile learning, social media and virtual training and we are led to believe from the marketing of e-learning course providers that traditional classroom style training sessions are just a time consuming, antiquated, and costly method of training?
We believe that every method of learning has its own merits and used for the right thing with the right people at the right time, any type of learning intervention is likely to produce results. However, in our ever-increasing virtual world there seems to be a need for real interaction. Classroom sessions provide this in the form of a real person who can deliver information in an interesting way. A trainer is also a subject expert who can answer concerns and questions right away and, as a specialist, can share the benefit of their years of experience.
The need for this human interaction is only set to increase with more people spending so much time isolated by working on their computers with little people contact. People not only generally learn better from other people, but they retain this information for longer. It has been proven that people retain information much better when they have an emotional reaction to it. That’s why great trainers are so highly valued because they are skilled at delivering information in a way that excites, inspires, motivates and engages their audiences.

Why is the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology so important?
Benefits of completing an Anatomy and Physiology Refresher are many….
Complementary therapy professionals need a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology to be safe and effective practitioners. We do not need to know all the names of every structure, but when we understand some of the intricacies about how we have been put together and how structure serves function we can extend this into our treatments when appropriate. Appreciation of nutrition, lifestyle impacts, physiological processes, conventional approaches to conditions and so forth broadens our awareness.
It is important to recognize the role anatomy and physiology play in providing a quality treatment and there are numerous reasons to keep our knowledge uptodate.
-
It helps us know when to treat or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
In any profession, it is important to know when you can help and when you cannot. The more we understand about pathology the more we will know when it is appropriate to refer patients whose symptoms exceed our abilities and experience, and perhaps to know who to refer them to. We will also know when what we offer may be of assistance to a client.
-
It helps communication and confidence both with clients and other health professionals.
Being able to talk the same language, enables us to dialogue more eloquently and effectively with other health care professionals as well as our clients. Building professional relationships with industry peers, or with clients, is built on trust and your ability to demonstrate your sound knowledge of all areas that influence, and are influenced by your chosen therapy. This is important for referrals – especially as it is becoming increasingly common for complementary practitioners to work within surgeries and group practices and it is helpful for us to explain what we are doing and, if necessary, contrast our work with other approaches.
-
Precision:
In bodywork, the more detailed our understanding of the structures and processes occurring under our hands, the more precise we can be with what we are doing. We may get a greater understanding of the links to other parts and be more accurate in our ability to pinpoint the problem – and therefore a solution.
-
Accountability:
Complementary medicine is undergoing much greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments, the medical profession, bodies speaking for CAM and the majority of practitioners themselves are keen to validate the instances where patients can truly benefit from complementary approaches. There has been a call for more research and more regulation within many therapies and different bodies are working to respond to this.
-
Fascination:
Is it not just simply fascinating? The more we work with and learn about the body, the more we are amazed and humbled by the magical processes that continually go on, generally keeping us healthy but also adapting to illness or distress when needed.
Why do an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course?
- Did you train some time ago?
- Not practised treatments for a while?
- Do you need to retake your anatomy and physiology qualification to replace an out of date qualification?
- Are you returning to the industry after a long-term leave?
- Did you complete the course in the past but never complete?
- Are you qualified but need more confidence in your anatomical knowledge?
- Or are you just interested in refreshing and deepening your knowledge to make you a better practitioner?
Do you know that knowledge has half-life just like radioactive isotopes? It degrades with time, when it is not applied on regular basis. All that you need to do is to refresh it from time to time and brush up your skills, to remain current.
Refresher courses on anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist. Developing a fascination with how the body works should be a lifelong pursuit.
Why choose an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course with classroom learning?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology require serious study, and you learned and revisit it in various ways, including textbooks, videos, charts, models and online courses. In today’s working environment, we have access to more ways to train and develop people than ever before. Unlimited learning opportunities are available to us in the form of E-learning, mobile learning, social media and virtual training and we are led to believe from the marketing of e-learning course providers that traditional classroom style training sessions are just a time consuming, antiquated, and costly method of training?
We believe that every method of learning has its own merits and used for the right thing with the right people at the right time, any type of learning intervention is likely to produce results. However, in our ever-increasing virtual world there seems to be a need for real interaction. Classroom sessions provide this in the form of a real person who can deliver information in an interesting way. A trainer is also a subject expert who can answer concerns and questions right away and, as a specialist, can share the benefit of their years of experience.
The need for this human interaction is only set to increase with more people spending so much time isolated by working on their computers with little people contact. People not only generally learn better from other people, but they retain this information for longer. It has been proven that people retain information much better when they have an emotional reaction to it. That’s why great trainers are so highly valued because they are skilled at delivering information in a way that excites, inspires, motivates and engages their audiences.
Our love of Face to Face teaching
As an independent school we have the option to just offer lucrative distance only learning classes but we prefer traditional face to face teaching for the following reasons:-
1) Subject matter experts are on hand to give you on the spot practical help and answer questions
2) There are opportunities to tackle subjects and questions outside the standard remit of the course
3) You will receive immediate help and support with correcting mistakes and getting it right
4) Networking with other learners, sharing experiences and social interaction are part of the process
5) Real, practical and hands-on use of the tools and techniques are a major benefit
6) Expert trainers will make the learning experience engaging, interesting and enjoyable
7) We can instantly adapt the teaching methods to suit the needs of the delegates
8) Quiet, dedicated time out to really focus on your needs – once you’re in the classroom, you’re on the road to success. As in life, 80 percent of education is showing up, in person.
9) You’ll receive a multi sensory experience that appeals to more of your multiple intelligences
10) Benefit from valuable feedback from the trainer and others in the group
11) No problems with motivation, self-discipline or feelings of isolation common to distance learning.
We are passionate about what we do and love nothing more than to share this with our students. This course encourages you to do supplementary independent home learning, either on-line or via other mediums. However, the benefits of the work done in the classroom are immeasurable!

Event Details
We all realise that recent years have brought an amazing progress to the field of aromatherapy making it more of an ‘aroma-medicine’ rather than ‘relaxing’ or ‘pampering’ therapy of the past. Gone are the days of blending with ‘top’, ‘middle’ and ‘base’. Essential oils are no longer seen as having dozens of therapeutic properties, each of which we are meant to memorize. The medicinal qualities and uses of individual oils are better understood nowadays as a result of scientific research.
Those who trained some time ago may be unfamiliar with the new perspectives. It is however daunting and not always easy to ‘catch up’ on our own… There are not that many books or aromatherapy conferences presenting the subject at the current level, research is difficult to find and either expensive to access or worded in a too scientific language… Often what we need to keep us on track some structured interaction with the tutor and fellow therapists to make the process easier and most importantly enjoyable.
Feedback from our aromatherapy workshops confirm that many aromatherapists feel that they have got somehow stuck ‘back in time’ and would have loved to train in this subject now, in the days of clinical science based aromatherapy.
Well now you have the opportunity to do so……we have developed a refresher course like no other, which enables you to revisit the core elements of the training with current facts. No exams! No case studies! No massage! Just wall to wall information! It offers you both the chance to refresh and update your knowledge and also to rekindle your passion for subject, fill in the gaps and to grow further. It will also strengthen the foundations for fuller understanding of the many advanced workshops we have available and offers an easier path for those who wish to take their aromatherapy studies further.
Course Details
This comprehensive 8-day essential oil therapy refresher course enables you to revisit your aromatherapy training and offers you a unique opportunity to take a leap into the 21st century aromatherapy – clinical aroma-medicine!
During the course, alongside students new to aromatherapy, we will re-examine the basics and build on them to bring ourselves upto speed with the current knowledge and understanding of aromatherapy. To achieve this we will revisit the core aspects of aromatherapy training:- from methods of application, in depth profiles of 60 essential and a wide range of vegetable oils, basic science and modern therapeutic blending approach to research based information.
There has never been a better time to be an aromatherapist. Aromatherapy of the 21st century is more credible than ever! During the last two decades many fantastic scientific discoveries have been brought to the field of aromatherapy.
These developments coupled with scientific research allow us to work more specifically and in many different ways – here are some examples:
- A better understanding of the therapeutic properties of oils and their chemical constituents enables us to have an accurate understanding of which conditions each of the oils is best for? We can now focus on the principal therapeutic properties and fewer conditions, making practice simpler yet potentially more beneficial.
- A greater understanding of the chemical make-up of essential and fixed oils leads to more specific selection and application of essential oils for particular conditions – choose the best oil for the job at hand! (Did you know we can combat MRSA?!)
- Validation (or not!!) of so called ‘traditional uses’ of many essential oils. (Did you know that modern science has actually measured free radical scavenging ability of many essential oils? This means that we can now choose best antioxidants for our skin care formulations! And no, frankincense does not seem to be the best one! )
- Interaction of essential oils with medication – stay safe! (Did you know that some chemical compounds very commonly occurring in essential oils speed up the absorption of drugs over 50 times?!!)
- Scientific Synergy – within the oil and within the blend! Blending of essential oil for therapeutic application based on their composition rather than restrictive perfumery ‘notes’ system.
- Non-massage applications are gaining popularity and changing aromatherapy practice – use them in your practice too!
- Understanding of how aromatherapy works on emotional level is now based on science!
This is a flexible course – you are welcome to attend it all or pick and choose sections that interest you most!
No exam and no case studies! No pressure – just information in simple-to-understand language, new skills and professional development!
To give you an idea of some of the material that will be covered:
- The basics of modern aromatherapy – the myths, the media, the high street versus the real thing!
- Connect to the sources of oils – Why and how do plants produce essential and fixed oils?
- In search of the oils – seeds, rhizomes, flowers, etc. – where are the oils stored?
- Classification of plants – how to use this knowledge and why is it ‘a must’ for a professional aromatherapist?
- General therapeutic properties of the essential oils of each botanical family
- Whole day – AROMATHERAPY FIELD TRIP – KEW GARDENS!!
- Various methods of application including to burn or not to burn…? Plus how to stay safe
- Dosage- ITEC guidelines and outside ITEC – recommendations of leading bodies – stay safe (not all books are!)
- Safety– up to date approach – oils that should never be used, oils that should be used with caution, contraindications – conditions and oils
- How to smell the oils like a pro
- How to get the most of your oils – buying oils, storing oils, etc – crucial to the successful practice!
- The historical background of aromatherapy– the myths and the reality
- Sources of modern aroma-information
- Focusing on the oils (fixed & essential)–a close in-depth look
- Chemistry of essential oils – the basic science – open the door to modern aroma-medicine
- Methods of extraction (including Cohobation, fractional distillation, solvent extraction and others) and what it means in terms of aromatherapy practice – the difference between essential oils, absolutes and extracts – what they are and how to use them (or not)
- Chemistry of essential oils – the basic science – open the door to modern aroma-medicine
- Types/groups of chemical constituents common in essential oils – terpenes, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, etc–learning what is what?
- Why is chemistry important? – contraindications, precautions and therapeutic effects for each group of chemical constituents and how it affects the practice of aromatherapy
- Adulteration and the quality of fixed and essential oils – methods of quality control and how to take advantage of them
- Therapeutic properties – science based approach – how does it work and why?
- How to use science to maximise the effects of your treatments
- Stay safe – friendly and not so friendly components of essential oils – make informed choices
- Essential oils and chemotypes – a key to success! You simply must know them!
- Blending essential oils – how to do it well and benefit your clients
- Modern synergistic blending based on components of essential oils (therapeutic rather than blending based on perfumery notes of the past)
- Learning to use your nose
- The all-important ratios – how to work them out – and staying safe.
- How does it work? – the theories of synergy and adaptogen
- Guidelines for creating synergistic blends
- The ‘connection’ between the chemical composition of essential oils and therapeutic blending – how to get it right?!
- Different approaches to blending
- The historical/traditional ‘notes’ system
- The aroma-groups system
- The scientific approach (based on chemical composition of essential oils)
- Selecting and blending oils (essential and vegetable) for the particular common problems

Event Details
We all realise that recent years have brought an amazing progress to the field of aromatherapy making it more of an ‘aroma-medicine’ rather than ‘relaxing’ or ‘pampering’ therapy of the past. Gone are the days of blending with ‘top’, ‘middle’ and ‘base’. Essential oils are no longer seen as having dozens of therapeutic properties, each of which we are meant to memorize. The medicinal qualities and uses of individual oils are better understood nowadays as a result of scientific research.
Those who trained some time ago may be unfamiliar with the new perspectives. It is however daunting and not always easy to ‘catch up’ on our own… There are not that many books or aromatherapy conferences presenting the subject at the current level, research is difficult to find and either expensive to access or worded in a too scientific language… Often what we need to keep us on track some structured interaction with the tutor and fellow therapists to make the process easier and most importantly enjoyable.
Feedback from our aromatherapy workshops confirm that many aromatherapists feel that they have got somehow stuck ‘back in time’ and would have loved to train in this subject now, in the days of clinical science based aromatherapy.
Well now you have the opportunity to do so……we have developed a refresher course like no other, which enables you to revisit the core elements of the training with current facts. No exams! No case studies! No massage! Just wall to wall information! It offers you both the chance to refresh and update your knowledge and also to rekindle your passion for subject, fill in the gaps and to grow further. It will also strengthen the foundations for fuller understanding of the many advanced workshops we have available and offers an easier path for those who wish to take their aromatherapy studies further.
Course Details
This comprehensive 8-day essential oil therapy refresher course enables you to revisit your aromatherapy training and offers you a unique opportunity to take a leap into the 21st century aromatherapy – clinical aroma-medicine!
During the course, alongside students new to aromatherapy, we will re-examine the basics and build on them to bring ourselves upto speed with the current knowledge and understanding of aromatherapy. To achieve this we will revisit the core aspects of aromatherapy training:- from methods of application, in depth profiles of 60 essential and a wide range of vegetable oils, basic science and modern therapeutic blending approach to research based information.
There has never been a better time to be an aromatherapist. Aromatherapy of the 21st century is more credible than ever! During the last two decades many fantastic scientific discoveries have been brought to the field of aromatherapy.
These developments coupled with scientific research allow us to work more specifically and in many different ways – here are some examples:
- A better understanding of the therapeutic properties of oils and their chemical constituents enables us to have an accurate understanding of which conditions each of the oils is best for? We can now focus on the principal therapeutic properties and fewer conditions, making practice simpler yet potentially more beneficial.
- A greater understanding of the chemical make-up of essential and fixed oils leads to more specific selection and application of essential oils for particular conditions – choose the best oil for the job at hand! (Did you know we can combat MRSA?!)
- Validation (or not!!) of so called ‘traditional uses’ of many essential oils. (Did you know that modern science has actually measured free radical scavenging ability of many essential oils? This means that we can now choose best antioxidants for our skin care formulations! And no, frankincense does not seem to be the best one! )
- Interaction of essential oils with medication – stay safe! (Did you know that some chemical compounds very commonly occurring in essential oils speed up the absorption of drugs over 50 times?!!)
- Scientific Synergy – within the oil and within the blend! Blending of essential oil for therapeutic application based on their composition rather than restrictive perfumery ‘notes’ system.
- Non-massage applications are gaining popularity and changing aromatherapy practice – use them in your practice too!
- Understanding of how aromatherapy works on emotional level is now based on science!
This is a flexible course – you are welcome to attend it all or pick and choose sections that interest you most!
No exam and no case studies! No pressure – just information in simple-to-understand language, new skills and professional development!
To give you an idea of some of the material that will be covered:
- The basics of modern aromatherapy – the myths, the media, the high street versus the real thing!
- Connect to the sources of oils – Why and how do plants produce essential and fixed oils?
- In search of the oils – seeds, rhizomes, flowers, etc. – where are the oils stored?
- Classification of plants – how to use this knowledge and why is it ‘a must’ for a professional aromatherapist?
- General therapeutic properties of the essential oils of each botanical family
- Whole day – AROMATHERAPY FIELD TRIP – KEW GARDENS!!
- Various methods of application including to burn or not to burn…? Plus how to stay safe
- Dosage- ITEC guidelines and outside ITEC – recommendations of leading bodies – stay safe (not all books are!)
- Safety– up to date approach – oils that should never be used, oils that should be used with caution, contraindications – conditions and oils
- How to smell the oils like a pro
- How to get the most of your oils – buying oils, storing oils, etc – crucial to the successful practice!
- The historical background of aromatherapy– the myths and the reality
- Sources of modern aroma-information
- Focusing on the oils (fixed & essential)–a close in-depth look
- Chemistry of essential oils – the basic science – open the door to modern aroma-medicine
- Methods of extraction (including Cohobation, fractional distillation, solvent extraction and others) and what it means in terms of aromatherapy practice – the difference between essential oils, absolutes and extracts – what they are and how to use them (or not)
- Chemistry of essential oils – the basic science – open the door to modern aroma-medicine
- Types/groups of chemical constituents common in essential oils – terpenes, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, etc–learning what is what?
- Why is chemistry important? – contraindications, precautions and therapeutic effects for each group of chemical constituents and how it affects the practice of aromatherapy
- Adulteration and the quality of fixed and essential oils – methods of quality control and how to take advantage of them
- Therapeutic properties – science based approach – how does it work and why?
- How to use science to maximise the effects of your treatments
- Stay safe – friendly and not so friendly components of essential oils – make informed choices
- Essential oils and chemotypes – a key to success! You simply must know them!
- Blending essential oils – how to do it well and benefit your clients
- Modern synergistic blending based on components of essential oils (therapeutic rather than blending based on perfumery notes of the past)
- Learning to use your nose
- The all-important ratios – how to work them out – and staying safe.
- How does it work? – the theories of synergy and adaptogen
- Guidelines for creating synergistic blends
- The ‘connection’ between the chemical composition of essential oils and therapeutic blending – how to get it right?!
- Different approaches to blending
- The historical/traditional ‘notes’ system
- The aroma-groups system
- The scientific approach (based on chemical composition of essential oils)
- Selecting and blending oils (essential and vegetable) for the particular common problems

Why is the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology so important?
Benefits of completing an Anatomy and Physiology Refresher are many….
Complementary therapy professionals need a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology to be safe and effective practitioners. We do not need to know all the names of every structure, but when we understand some of the intricacies about how we have been put together and how structure serves function we can extend this into our treatments when appropriate. Appreciation of nutrition, lifestyle impacts, physiological processes, conventional approaches to conditions and so forth broadens our awareness.
It is important to recognize the role anatomy and physiology play in providing a quality treatment and there are numerous reasons to keep our knowledge uptodate.
-
It helps us know when to treat or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
In any profession, it is important to know when you can help and when you cannot. The more we understand about pathology the more we will know when it is appropriate to refer patients whose symptoms exceed our abilities and experience, and perhaps to know who to refer them to. We will also know when what we offer may be of assistance to a client.
-
It helps communication and confidence both with clients and other health professionals.
Being able to talk the same language, enables us to dialogue more eloquently and effectively with other health care professionals as well as our clients. Building professional relationships with industry peers, or with clients, is built on trust and your ability to demonstrate your sound knowledge of all areas that influence, and are influenced by your chosen therapy. This is important for referrals – especially as it is becoming increasingly common for complementary practitioners to work within surgeries and group practices and it is helpful for us to explain what we are doing and, if necessary, contrast our work with other approaches.
-
Precision:
In bodywork, the more detailed our understanding of the structures and processes occurring under our hands, the more precise we can be with what we are doing. We may get a greater understanding of the links to other parts and be more accurate in our ability to pinpoint the problem – and therefore a solution.
-
Accountability:
Complementary medicine is undergoing much greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments, the medical profession, bodies speaking for CAM and the majority of practitioners themselves are keen to validate the instances where patients can truly benefit from complementary approaches. There has been a call for more research and more regulation within many therapies and different bodies are working to respond to this.
-
Fascination:
Is it not just simply fascinating? The more we work with and learn about the body, the more we are amazed and humbled by the magical processes that continually go on, generally keeping us healthy but also adapting to illness or distress when needed.
Why do an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course?
- Did you train some time ago?
- Not practised treatments for a while?
- Do you need to retake your anatomy and physiology qualification to replace an out of date qualification?
- Are you returning to the industry after a long-term leave?
- Did you complete the course in the past but never complete?
- Are you qualified but need more confidence in your anatomical knowledge?
- Or are you just interested in refreshing and deepening your knowledge to make you a better practitioner?
Do you know that knowledge has half-life just like radioactive isotopes? It degrades with time, when it is not applied on regular basis. All that you need to do is to refresh it from time to time and brush up your skills, to remain current.
Refresher courses on anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist. Developing a fascination with how the body works should be a lifelong pursuit.
Why choose an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course with classroom learning?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology require serious study, and you learned and revisit it in various ways, including textbooks, videos, charts, models and online courses. In today’s working environment, we have access to more ways to train and develop people than ever before. Unlimited learning opportunities are available to us in the form of E-learning, mobile learning, social media and virtual training and we are led to believe from the marketing of e-learning course providers that traditional classroom style training sessions are just a time consuming, antiquated, and costly method of training?
We believe that every method of learning has its own merits and used for the right thing with the right people at the right time, any type of learning intervention is likely to produce results. However, in our ever-increasing virtual world there seems to be a need for real interaction. Classroom sessions provide this in the form of a real person who can deliver information in an interesting way. A trainer is also a subject expert who can answer concerns and questions right away and, as a specialist, can share the benefit of their years of experience.
The need for this human interaction is only set to increase with more people spending so much time isolated by working on their computers with little people contact. People not only generally learn better from other people, but they retain this information for longer. It has been proven that people retain information much better when they have an emotional reaction to it. That’s why great trainers are so highly valued because they are skilled at delivering information in a way that excites, inspires, motivates and engages their audiences.
Our love of Face to Face teaching
As an independent school we have the option to just offer lucrative distance only learning classes but we prefer traditional face to face teaching for the following reasons:-
1) Subject matter experts are on hand to give you on the spot practical help and answer questions
2) There are opportunities to tackle subjects and questions outside the standard remit of the course
3) You will receive immediate help and support with correcting mistakes and getting it right
4) Networking with other learners, sharing experiences and social interaction are part of the process
5) Real, practical and hands-on use of the tools and techniques are a major benefit
6) Expert trainers will make the learning experience engaging, interesting and enjoyable
7) We can instantly adapt the teaching methods to suit the needs of the delegates
8) Quiet, dedicated time out to really focus on your needs – once you’re in the classroom, you’re on the road to success. As in life, 80 percent of education is showing up, in person.
9) You’ll receive a multi sensory experience that appeals to more of your multiple intelligences
10) Benefit from valuable feedback from the trainer and others in the group
11) No problems with motivation, self-discipline or feelings of isolation common to distance learning.
We are passionate about what we do and love nothing more than to share this with our students. This course encourages you to do supplementary independent home learning, either on-line or via other mediums. However, the benefits of the work done in the classroom are immeasurable!

Benefits of completing an Anatomy and Physiology Refresher are many….
Complementary therapy professionals need a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology to be safe and effective practitioners. We do not need to know all the names of every structure, but when we understand some of the intricacies about how we have been put together and how structure serves function we can extend this into our treatments when appropriate. Appreciation of nutrition, lifestyle impacts, physiological processes, conventional approaches to conditions and so forth broadens our awareness.
It is important to recognize the role anatomy and physiology play in providing a quality treatment and there are numerous reasons to keep our knowledge uptodate.
-
It helps us know when to treat or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
In any profession, it is important to know when you can help and when you cannot. The more we understand about pathology the more we will know when it is appropriate to refer patients whose symptoms exceed our abilities and experience, and perhaps to know who to refer them to. We will also know when what we offer may be of assistance to a client.
-
It helps communication and confidence both with clients and other health professionals.
Being able to talk the same language, enables us to dialogue more eloquently and effectively with other health care professionals as well as our clients. Building professional relationships with industry peers, or with clients, is built on trust and your ability to demonstrate your sound knowledge of all areas that influence, and are influenced by your chosen therapy. This is important for referrals – especially as it is becoming increasingly common for complementary practitioners to work within surgeries and group practices and it is helpful for us to explain what we are doing and, if necessary, contrast our work with other approaches.
-
Precision:
In bodywork, the more detailed our understanding of the structures and processes occurring under our hands, the more precise we can be with what we are doing. We may get a greater understanding of the links to other parts and be more accurate in our ability to pinpoint the problem – and therefore a solution.
-
Accountability:
Complementary medicine is undergoing much greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments, the medical profession, bodies speaking for CAM and the majority of practitioners themselves are keen to validate the instances where patients can truly benefit from complementary approaches. There has been a call for more research and more regulation within many therapies and different bodies are working to respond to this.
-
Fascination:
Is it not just simply fascinating? The more we work with and learn about the body, the more we are amazed and humbled by the magical processes that continually go on, generally keeping us healthy but also adapting to illness or distress when needed.
Why do an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course?
- Did you train some time ago?
- Not practised treatments for a while?
- Do you need to retake your anatomy and physiology qualification to replace an out of date qualification?
- Are you returning to the industry after a long-term leave?
- Did you complete the course in the past but never complete?
- Are you qualified but need more confidence in your anatomical knowledge?
- Or are you just interested in refreshing and deepening your knowledge to make you a better practitioner?
Do you know that knowledge has half-life just like radioactive isotopes? It degrades with time, when it is not applied on regular basis. All that you need to do is to refresh it from time to time and brush up your skills, to remain current.
Refresher courses on anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist. Developing a fascination with how the body works should be a lifelong pursuit.
Why choose an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course with classroom learning?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology require serious study, and you learned and revisit it in various ways, including textbooks, videos, charts, models and online courses. In today’s working environment, we have access to more ways to train and develop people than ever before. Unlimited learning opportunities are available to us in the form of E-learning, mobile learning, social media and virtual training and we are led to believe from the marketing of e-learning course providers that traditional classroom style training sessions are just a time consuming, antiquated, and costly method of training?
We believe that every method of learning has its own merits and used for the right thing with the right people at the right time, any type of learning intervention is likely to produce results. However, in our ever-increasing virtual world there seems to be a need for real interaction. Classroom sessions provide this in the form of a real person who can deliver information in an interesting way. A trainer is also a subject expert who can answer concerns and questions right away and, as a specialist, can share the benefit of their years of experience.
The need for this human interaction is only set to increase with more people spending so much time isolated by working on their computers with little people contact. People not only generally learn better from other people, but they retain this information for longer. It has been proven that people retain information much better when they have an emotional reaction to it. That’s why great trainers are so highly valued because they are skilled at delivering information in a way that excites, inspires, motivates and engages their audiences.
Our love of Face to Face teaching
As an independent school we have the option to just offer lucrative distance only learning classes but we prefer traditional face to face teaching for the following reasons:-
1) Subject matter experts are on hand to give you on the spot practical help and answer questions
2) There are opportunities to tackle subjects and questions outside the standard remit of the course
3) You will receive immediate help and support with correcting mistakes and getting it right
4) Networking with other learners, sharing experiences and social interaction are part of the process
5) Real, practical and hands-on use of the tools and techniques are a major benefit
6) Expert trainers will make the learning experience engaging, interesting and enjoyable
7) We can instantly adapt the teaching methods to suit the needs of the delegates
8) Quiet, dedicated time out to really focus on your needs – once you’re in the classroom, you’re on the road to success. As in life, 80 percent of education is showing up, in person.
9) You’ll receive a multi sensory experience that appeals to more of your multiple intelligences
10) Benefit from valuable feedback from the trainer and others in the group
11) No problems with motivation, self-discipline or feelings of isolation common to distance learning.
We are passionate about what we do and love nothing more than to share this with our students. This course encourages you to do supplementary independent home learning, either on-line or via other mediums. However, the benefits of the work done in the classroom are immeasurable!

Why is the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology so important?
Benefits of completing an Anatomy and Physiology Refresher are many….
Complementary therapy professionals need a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology to be safe and effective practitioners. We do not need to know all the names of every structure, but when we understand some of the intricacies about how we have been put together and how structure serves function we can extend this into our treatments when appropriate. Appreciation of nutrition, lifestyle impacts, physiological processes, conventional approaches to conditions and so forth broadens our awareness.
It is important to recognize the role anatomy and physiology play in providing a quality treatment and there are numerous reasons to keep our knowledge uptodate.
-
It helps us know when to treat or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
In any profession, it is important to know when you can help and when you cannot. The more we understand about pathology the more we will know when it is appropriate to refer patients whose symptoms exceed our abilities and experience, and perhaps to know who to refer them to. We will also know when what we offer may be of assistance to a client.
-
It helps communication and confidence both with clients and other health professionals.
Being able to talk the same language, enables us to dialogue more eloquently and effectively with other health care professionals as well as our clients. Building professional relationships with industry peers, or with clients, is built on trust and your ability to demonstrate your sound knowledge of all areas that influence, and are influenced by your chosen therapy. This is important for referrals – especially as it is becoming increasingly common for complementary practitioners to work within surgeries and group practices and it is helpful for us to explain what we are doing and, if necessary, contrast our work with other approaches.
-
Precision:
In bodywork, the more detailed our understanding of the structures and processes occurring under our hands, the more precise we can be with what we are doing. We may get a greater understanding of the links to other parts and be more accurate in our ability to pinpoint the problem – and therefore a solution.
-
Accountability:
Complementary medicine is undergoing much greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments, the medical profession, bodies speaking for CAM and the majority of practitioners themselves are keen to validate the instances where patients can truly benefit from complementary approaches. There has been a call for more research and more regulation within many therapies and different bodies are working to respond to this.
-
Fascination:
Is it not just simply fascinating? The more we work with and learn about the body, the more we are amazed and humbled by the magical processes that continually go on, generally keeping us healthy but also adapting to illness or distress when needed.
Why do an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course?
- Did you train some time ago?
- Not practised treatments for a while?
- Do you need to retake your anatomy and physiology qualification to replace an out of date qualification?
- Are you returning to the industry after a long-term leave?
- Did you complete the course in the past but never complete?
- Are you qualified but need more confidence in your anatomical knowledge?
- Or are you just interested in refreshing and deepening your knowledge to make you a better practitioner?
Do you know that knowledge has half-life just like radioactive isotopes? It degrades with time, when it is not applied on regular basis. All that you need to do is to refresh it from time to time and brush up your skills, to remain current.
Refresher courses on anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist. Developing a fascination with how the body works should be a lifelong pursuit.
Why choose an Anatomy and Physiology refresher course with classroom learning?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology require serious study, and you learned and revisit it in various ways, including textbooks, videos, charts, models and online courses. In today’s working environment, we have access to more ways to train and develop people than ever before. Unlimited learning opportunities are available to us in the form of E-learning, mobile learning, social media and virtual training and we are led to believe from the marketing of e-learning course providers that traditional classroom style training sessions are just a time consuming, antiquated, and costly method of training?
We believe that every method of learning has its own merits and used for the right thing with the right people at the right time, any type of learning intervention is likely to produce results. However, in our ever-increasing virtual world there seems to be a need for real interaction. Classroom sessions provide this in the form of a real person who can deliver information in an interesting way. A trainer is also a subject expert who can answer concerns and questions right away and, as a specialist, can share the benefit of their years of experience.
The need for this human interaction is only set to increase with more people spending so much time isolated by working on their computers with little people contact. People not only generally learn better from other people, but they retain this information for longer. It has been proven that people retain information much better when they have an emotional reaction to it. That’s why great trainers are so highly valued because they are skilled at delivering information in a way that excites, inspires, motivates and engages their audiences.
Our love of Face to Face teaching
As an independent school we have the option to just offer lucrative distance only learning classes but we prefer traditional face to face teaching for the following reasons:-
1) Subject matter experts are on hand to give you on the spot practical help and answer questions
2) There are opportunities to tackle subjects and questions outside the standard remit of the course
3) You will receive immediate help and support with correcting mistakes and getting it right
4) Networking with other learners, sharing experiences and social interaction are part of the process
5) Real, practical and hands-on use of the tools and techniques are a major benefit
6) Expert trainers will make the learning experience engaging, interesting and enjoyable
7) We can instantly adapt the teaching methods to suit the needs of the delegates
8) Quiet, dedicated time out to really focus on your needs – once you’re in the classroom, you’re on the road to success. As in life, 80 percent of education is showing up, in person.
9) You’ll receive a multi sensory experience that appeals to more of your multiple intelligences
10) Benefit from valuable feedback from the trainer and others in the group
11) No problems with motivation, self-discipline or feelings of isolation common to distance learning.
We are passionate about what we do and love nothing more than to share this with our students. This course encourages you to do supplementary independent home learning, either on-line or via other mediums. However, the benefits of the work done in the classroom are immeasurable!
