I want to get into aromatherepy and massage, what kind of career am I looking at getting?

Question

I have always been interested in essential oils and the sense of well being they can make, but not sure what kind of job I can get once qualified.

Answer 1

you can set up your own mobile aromatherapy message shop. buy a beauty therapy portable bed and go round to peoples home, or if you have a spare room at home set up there. Ive done 2 years beauty therapy and i did well on my own, i actually went to a local hoilday camp and rented a room there.

Answer 2

I am a massage therapist in San Francisco and I use a lot of aromatherapy in my work. Aromatherapy goes really well with massage. I would highly recommend that you look into massage as a career. It is a really growing field and you can do really well if you have your own business.

I have written an article that has a section that talks about different ways you can use aromatherapy with massage, http://www.alternativehealthbusiness.com/aromatherapy-basics.html.

You would need to go to massage school to get certified. I took a home study course in aromatherapy at www.naturalwellness.com.

You can email me if you have any questions. Good luck.

Answer 3

A complementary therapist, an aromotherapist, a massage therapist? You could rent a room in say a doctors' surgery...complementary medicine has become much more popular over the years and many doctor's surgery offer these treatments alongside their orthodox approach. You could also try getting work on cruise ships too. Or you could use the therapy work as a sideline to your usual employment and gradually build up your own business. Good luck!

Answer 4

Homeopathic Therapy
