Aromatherapy for Palliative Care and Bereavement
This 50-hour program is designed for certified aromatherapists who want to support patients in palliative care and their loved ones. Aromatherapy can significantly enhance quality of life by reducing pain and inflammation, alleviating nausea and constipation, supporting immune function, and easing emotional burdens such as grief, depression, anxiety, and anger for both the patients and their loved ones.
We are honoured to have three well-known palliative care specialists teaching this program on behalf of EOTCHS: Jonathan Benevides, Marika Fleri, and Margo Fletcher. In developing the Aromatherapy in Palliative Care Program, Jonathan, Marika, and Margo drew upon their extensive education and experience in patient-centred support. All three instructors are empathetic and compassionate caregivers dedicated to alleviating the distress and fear experienced by end-of-life patients and their families. The program is offered online and includes live mentoring sessions with Marika and Margo.
Tuition for the program is $995.00 CAD, and students have up to 18 months to complete it. For more information about this program, please email [email protected] or check out our website at www.essenceofthyme.com
