Essential Oils Introduction - 14 Essential Oils

This blended course is ideal for reflexologists beginning their journey with essential oils. You’ll explore the therapeutic benefits of 14 essential oils and 3 carrier oils, gaining the confidence to incorporate them safely and effectively into both your treatments and everyday life.

Designed to make learning simple, structured, and enjoyable, the course combines engaging online modules with two personalised tutorials (face-to-face in Bursledon or via Zoom), along with unlimited email support throughout your studies. You’ll build a solid foundation in essential oil practice without feeling overwhelmed — mastering a carefully selected range of oils that offer versatility, safety, and proven therapeutic value.

Learning is delivered in bite-sized modules, allowing you to study at your own pace and revisit materials whenever you need to. You’ll also receive a comprehensive workbook covering aromatherapy theory, detailed profiles of all 14 essential oils and 3 carrier oils, and space to develop your own personalised guidance notes for use in practice.

To support your studies, you’ll need to purchase your own essential oils. Guidance on choosing a reputable supplier is provided within the course, and as an added benefit, students can enjoy an exclusive 15% discount on their first order from Base Formula using the code CALMINF15.

Insurance for the use of essential oils in reflexology can be arranged through Alan Boswell, the Association of Reflexologists’ preferred provider, and from many other insurance providers, but please check that your policy covers this extension to your practice. (If you are taking this course for personal interest only, insurance is not required.)

By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to integrate essential oils professionally and safely into your reflexology practice, offering clients an even more holistic and nurturing experience.

Please note: this qualification permits professional use only of the 14 essential oils and 3 carrier oils covered within the course.
