London Diploma Course in Aromatherapy & Therapeutic Massage

Diploma Course Introduction

The aim of the Institute is to teach Aromatherapy as a complete healing art — one which takes a truly holistic approach to essential oils and their therapeutic uses. By making traditional healing wisdom a central focus, theoretical knowledge is able to develop hand-in-hand with intuitive and practical skills.

With his background in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture and Shiatsu, Gabriel Mojay has developed an approach to Aromatherapy that unites a sound scientific perspective with the basic principles of Oriental Medicine — the world’s most highly-developed holistic healthcare system.

Oriental Health Assessment allows us to select the most appropriate essential oils for a wide range of ailments — together with minor conditions where no clearly-defined disease exists. Rather than focus solely on a client’s symptoms, the inherently holistic approach of Oriental Medicine concentrates on addressing the underlying imbalances at the root of any health problem.

At the same time, we give our Aromatherapy Diploma students a firm foundation in the scientific aspects of Aromatherapy, including the biology and chemistry of essential oils, and their safe application based on the latest research.

Our study of 70 essential oils and their main chemotypes is geared towards a thorough of understanding their medicinal properties and uses as well as their energetic effects on the body and mind.

Clinical Aromatherapy is a special system of natural healing, and demands a special approach to its instruction. There are no short cuts to mastering a practice that is as deep and as multifaceted as Aromatherapy, in terms of both its scientific foundations and therapeutic methodology.

The Diploma Course outlined in these pages is a homage to its healing potential — and the learning experience of a lifetime.
