In this workshop you will learn which carrier and essential oils you can use for pregnancy massage, and which essential oils you can use in a diffuser during pregnancy and birth. You will learn about their properties, how they work, different ways in which to apply them and about safe dosages.
I have been trained by: José Zwaantjes from Zwaantjes essentiële olien (Foundation course in aromatherapy in 2002), Ellen Wagenaar from Chi Instituut, Aromatherapy for pregnancy and baby’s 2004, Harmen Rijpkema (author of Aromecum, the only comprehensive handbook for aromatherapy written in Dutch), Chi Institute, Advanced Aromatherapy (chemical structure) 2010.
“Doing the aromatherapy course with Joyce was a wonderful initiation to the world of oils and their powerful potential in supporting and unlocking hidden resources within.The course was practical and informative, giving plenty space to the individual sensorial experiences and observations of the participants, balancing these with existing research, various source materials and very clear hand-outs to take home with you at the end of the workshop. Like a walk for all the senses, the workshop left me feeling refreshed and eager to learn for more.Since doing the course with Joyce I am confident in incorporating aromatherapy into my doula practice. I also actively use it now to support myself in my multiple working roles, as well as at home for the benefits of all the family. Highly recommending this course to doulas, midwives and all others in supporting roles and doing care-work.”~ Deirdre M. Donoghuemother, doula, artist, activist, researcher, director of the m/other voices foundation and the Legacy of Love Doula’s
