Fragrant Therapy at Farncombe

Frankincense and myrrh – ancient plant resins usually associated with Biblical times, but what about modern day use?  A series of Aromatherapy Courses with Julia Baker offer you the opportunity to learn about the theraputic use of these and other essential oils (including the more homely lavender and rose) in the relaxed and supportive setting of Farncombe Estate.

Julia's courses will teach students how to make aromatherapy lotions and use essential oils in a variety of ways.  Courses include instruction in how to give a simple full body massage, Indian Head massage, and Reflex Foot massage.  

The courses at Farncombe are subtitled “Aromatherapy makes a Difference” because aromatherapy made a big difference to Julia’s life, and who knows – if you decide to give it a try the same might happen to you!

Forthcoming course dates are;

• 4 November 2006
• 6 January 2007
• 24 March 2007
• 6, 7, 8 July 2007

The weekend course will begin with a gentle introduction to massage by working in pairs to learn how to give a hand and arm treatment using essential oils in a light lotion.  As the weekend progresses students will learn how to do a full body massage.  Students will also learn a little about the development of aromatherapy, and how to choose essential oils for their theraputic properties to suit the needs of the individual being treated.

The courses can be  “hands on”, with a lot of support and encouragment from Julia, who will demonstrate each section before giving students the opportunity to try the techniques for themselves.  Participants will be given a course booklet with full details of everything done during the weekend, and it doesn’t end there as students who may have questions following the course can contact Julia at home for clarification of anything covered during the weekend.

Julia is an experienced professional aromatherapist who treats clients at home in her treatment room, does massage in the workplace, gives talks to a wide variety of organisations and who teaches aromatherapy.   Before training in aromatherapy in her early fifties, Julia was a secondary school teacher for over thirty years.  She still teaches regularly,  but only aromatherapy to adults in a variety of venues.   Julia is also one of the few qualified Aromatologists in the UK.    Click here to find out more about Julia's training in Aromatology
