Evidence-based, safety-conscious, affordable and fun. This course is accessible yet will get you thinking in the refreshing dynamic way that aromatherapy can. Always developing and expanding our knowledge, our study days are continually updated in view of new ideas and evidence.
Working with individuals or with NHS Trusts to set up or to revive their aromatherapy use within maternity care settings we offer advice and support with guidelines freely available to attendees.
Participants especially enjoy the massage training, reading materials and a varied teaching approach which facilitates finely-tuned care for the complex needs of women in childbirth.
This study day and e-course blends the wisdom, passion and experience of Lindsay Woodman, a International Federation of Aromatherapy (IFA) trained aromatherapist with registered and practicing midwife Jude Davis to provide a fresh approach in quality training which is inspirational, empowering and accredited by the Royal College of Midwives and the IFA.
