Aromatherapy
7 CE Hours with Cathy Hope
Dates and Times:
May 16, 2010 (10am - 6pm)
Location: Taos, NM at the Midwifery Center
Fee: $75 plus tax. Student rates apply to current Scherer students.
In this beginning class, we will cover the basics of essential oils: what they are, where they're found in the plant, how they're extracted, their chemistry, and the pathways of absorption in the body. Lecture will include basic concepts of blending oils for therapeutic application. We will also examine the sense of smell and how brain chemistry interacts with essential oil chemistry (psycho-aromatherapy). Woven throughout the day are ethical aspects and considerations that therapists should keep in mind when using oils with their clients. Students will be able to smell many essential oils, and make a blend using what they've learned.
Instructor:
Cathy Hope formally studied Aromatherapy at the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy. She is an apothecary – a grower and manufacturer of herbal medicines - and has devised aromatherapy combinations for both general use and massage therapists over the past twenty years. She has developed a line of tinctures using primarily fresh organic or wildcrafted herbs. Her high quality essential oil products are available through her website, www.irisherbal.com. She has taught herbology, flower essences, and aromatherapy for businesses and massage schools since 1984 and has taught at the Scherer Institute since 1996.
