Who would benefit from a Professional Aromatherapy Consultation?
- The novice, who is just starting to explore the world of aromatherapy and the safe use of essential oils. Having someone they could ask questions could certainly help them navigate the wealth of conflicting information available online today.
- The hobbyist, who has not pursued any formal training, but who has some experience working with essential oils. Being able to get some professional advice on blends and protocols could be invaluable.
- The individual, who would like to experience the benefits of an in-depth consultation and the resulting unique custom blend.
The Aromatherapy Client Consultation
Regardless of the type of blend created, every successful blend will move through 4 phases.
- Assessment – Part 1 of the Client Consultation.
First I collect and review all the pertinent health information and record this on the Client Health Record. Then, through discussion, we will pinpoint the areas of concern which allows me to identify the focus and aim of the blend.
- Planning – Part 2 of the Client Consultation.
Based on the information collected during the Assessment, the type of blend, as well as the relevant essential oils, carriers, and methods of application, including frequency and duration, will be chosen. Then I create the Customized Aromatherapy Product and give it to the client.
- Implementation – This is the phase where the client uses the blend and follows the treatment protocol.
- Evaluation – It is always important to check in and review whether the blend and treatment protocol is working. Is it working or does something need changing? If there is room for improvement, it is time to go back to Phase 2 and consider whether the blend and or treatment protocol just needs a little tweaking, or whether it needs to be changed completely. Phases 2, 3 and 4 can be repeated as needed.
Types of Blends and Aromatherapy Products
There are so many different reasons to create a special blend/synergy and here are some examples of the type of blends and Aromatherapy Products one might create.
- Physical issues e.g. a headache, PMS, muscle aches and pains, colds or flu, etc.
- Emotional issues e.g. anxiety, grief, depression, nervous tension, etc.
- We create custom blends to address the individual as a whole. Because of this the blend will often be designed to address a combination of physical and emotional issues.
- A blend to use during a spiritual practice e.g. meditation, prayer, energy healing, etc.
- For use in a beauty product whether that is part of a beauty routine, like a facial, or body wrap, or part of hydrotherapy for relaxation.
- Blends for use around the house. In a diffuser for ambiance, or in a cleaning product.
- A custom Natural Perfume.
