Aromatherapy & Spa Life

Aromatherapy is the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote health. It seeks to unify physiological, psychological and spiritual processes to enhance an individual’s innate healing process.

In our aromatherapy class, you will:

Learn the history of aromatherapy
Define what essential oils are – this is the key to aromatherapy
Discover the benefit of essential oils in a massage setting
Learn how these aromas enter our bodies and affect us physiologically and holistically

You will also learn the properties of seven specific oils, and get to custom blend their own aromatherapy massage oil, as well as administer an aromatherapy facial steam.

Spa Life:

Since spas are one of the largest employers for massage therapists (29% of massage therapists work in spas!), it is crucial for you to know about:

The various types of spas
Spa treatments
Expectations that spas have for therapists.
In this class, our students also learn to perform a moisturizing aromatherapy body wrap. This particular body wrap can be easily incorporated into a private practice without expensive equipment.
Body wraps are great additions to the massage setting, and having experience with this gives our students an edge as a massage job applicant.

Students & Employers Love Us!

NHI made a huge impression on me while attending an open house event where I experienced such a peaceful, non-judgmental space with kind and patient teachers who strived to pass down their experience to make their students successful on their massage therapy journey. NHI opened doors for me to some exceptional clinics right after finishing the ANMT program.

National Holistic Institute truly is a great school. The instructors are passionate about their craft and really want their students to succeed. At NHI I learned so much about massage, energy transfer, trigger point theory but most importantly, I learned about myself. NHI literally changed my life and possibly saved it, I will forever be grateful to this institution.

NHI changed the way I viewed massage therapy. I went from seeing it as a luxury to a valuable part of recovery and overall health. They helped me see how much a difference I could make in being a well educated/trained massage therapist. The ANMT Program has definitely made my resume stand out to various employers which has given me multiple options for employment. It prepared me to work in any setting.

Jessica Gomez | Santa Ana Campus

I love working with people and bringing them relief. I moved out of state and quickly found employment. Once the hiring manager found out I was an NHI graduate, not only were they interested in hiring me but they also offered me a higher rate of pay because of the quality of my education. I could not believe they knew about NHI across the country. I am so happy in my new career and I know that it is based on the foundational learning that I received at NHI.
