”The Gaia AromaReflex course is really well organised and delivered, with good instructions beforehand on what to expect from the day, guidance on suitable products to purchase and reading prior to the course. The course itself is very well structured and includes a clear guided presentation, Q&A sessions and a practical exercise. I came away feeling more knowledgeable on the subject. I also have course notes and a recommended book to refer to for additional information. I am looking forward to undertaking my case studies now and seeing the positive impact the aromatherapy blends combined with Reflexology will have. Thanks Carolyn! “

Michelle Denise Wood (Armed with Calm) 6-Aug-21

”As a Therapist who requires yearly CPD, I always try and pick courses that will enhance treatments I already offer and add to my toolkit to help clients. This course will do exactly that. Extremely interesting and I have a new respect for Essential Oils. I would definitely recommend this course. Very well put together, clear instructions, good format and works very well on zoom. Am really excited to start the mandatory case studies and, when able, introduce creating bespoke creams for my clients. “
Emma-Jayne Beattie (Tranquility Therapies) 6-Aug-21

”I really enjoyed the course and found Carolyn explained things very clearly with patience and good humour. The pre-course reading was useful and a great idea. I also enjoyed working in pairs in the afternoon to use the information we had been learning. It was great to have this opportunity to enhance my knowledge and reflexology skills. My case studies have all been hugely complementary about their AromaReflex treatments and have experienced some very positive outcomes. It was an interesting course and a lovely day. I can't wait to offer it to more lucky people! Thank you!“

”This online aromareflex course was well thought out and really enjoyable. There was good pre-course info and I felt prepared with background knowledge and also with the materials necessary for the course. The day was well organised and the zoom meetings worked well. There was a lot of useful info about the essential oils and it was delivered in an easy to understand way. There was a good interaction between Carolyn and the students. I particularly liked the opportunity to work with a partner to practise making a selected blend. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and feel totally prepared to carry out the 5 case studies and then offer this amazing treatment to my clients.“

”I can highly recommend AromaReflex with GAIA. The course was so well organised from start to finish and the knowledge provided on the course was abundant, clear and well communicated. It was such a good course that I would like to return to do a full aromatherapy course in the future. The tutor was very welcoming and the other students were very friendly too. Certainly one of the best complementary therapy courses I have attended.“

Ally Brown 27-Aug-20

”I thoroughly enjoyed the Aromareflex course I did via Zoom this Summer. The course material and the teaching were motivational and inspiring. I recently graduated in Reflexology and have always been inclined to Essential Oils but did not want to do the full Aromatherapy course. I wanted to learn about some oils and make blends for use with my Reflexology clients, so this add-on course has been ideal for me. During my first case study I almost felt like I was having a treatment myself - the smells coming from the blend I had created were divine! I am looking forward to completing my case studies and being able to include this wonderful treatment in my Reflexology offerings. Thank you Carolyn and the Gaia School.“
Catherine Forbes 27-Aug-20

”This was a fabulous course. Well structured, informative and no travelling. Carolyn made us feel supported and I can honestly say I enjoyed it more than any ’in person‘ class.“ as well as being ”the most productive CPD course I've done. “
Amy Vere (Sole to Soul) 21-Jul-20

”Really informative, brilliant course material and great teaching online. An innovative way of teaching going forward“
Donna Dodson 14-Jul-20

”As a therapist, I absolutely love the boost of the scents in the air, I think it raises my own energy and allows me to deliver a more in tune treatment. I also feel that when I use preblended waxes they are only faint, less vibrant than the blends we make.“
Cristina Gomez Martinez 18-Jun-20

”This was a lovely course and would be great for beginners who don't already use essential oils.“
Scarlet Skye Moonchild (The Wellbeing Studio) 18-Jun-20

”Attending Carolyn’s recent course was an absolute joy. It was held on Zoom which meant no travel costs for me. The course material, sent via email beforehand, was very thorough. The course was cleverly interactive, and allowed for discussion and reflection between the delegates. I loved learning about the oils, and finished the course with one blend made and a head full of ideas for the future. I can’t wait to share the wonderful world of aromatherapy with my clients, and look forwards to bringing a new dimension to my treatments. Many thanks Carolyn for a fantastic course – I really can’t recommend it highly enough. “
Andrea Cooper (Orchard Reflexology) 22-May-20

”I took part in the online aroma reflexology training, and I found the whole day to be really informative and interactive. It’s been great to be able to access this training from home, as I live a long way from the Gaia School of Natural Health, and so I would not usually be able to access the courses in person.
I feel that I gained the confidence, from the initial input, to carry out my case studies and I am inspired to learn more about the 12 essential oils and all of their properties.
I would definitely take part in more online training with Carolyn in the future. “
Sarah Vaughan (Natural Reflexions) 22-May-20

”Carolyn’s AromaReflex course provides an excellent and well informed introduction to aroma therapy and how it can be incorporated into your reflexology treatment. The course is delivered online and Carolyn makes it very interactive and easy to follow. She has a wealth of knowledge that she is eager to share. She enables to you to learn and put into practice throughout the day as you are being taught. A thoroughly enjoyable day that provides the tools and inspiration you need to get started. Carolyn follows this up with excellent online support. Fantastic and highly recommended! “
Gillaine Casciaro 22-May-20

”Really enjoyed Carolyn’s AromaReflex Online Zoom Training Course, it worked really well online, as I'm not great with technology, but found it very easy to access. Content and teaching was great as always and Carolyn is always there to answer any queries. A very enjoyable, informative course and look forward to using it in the future. “
Sarah Cliffe (Holistic Therapist) 01-May-20

”I thoroughly enjoyed the Zoom AromaReflex workshop with Carolyn. The pre workshop instructions and equipment list ensured we had the correct material for the course, giving us a choice of good quality oils and retailers with recommendations that we could tailor to suit our own budgets.
The day itself was broken down into segments with well planned breaks to digest what we had learnt. The course content was really informative, with a varied and useful mixture of textbook reading, Carolyn's knowledge and experience alongside group discussion. The small group size meant that everyone had their opportunity to speak and ask questions without too much overlap (as can happen in Zoom meetings!) and the breakout rooms where we partnered up and completed virtual consultations before mixing blends was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate what we had learnt. I would highly recommend Carolyn's AromaReflex workshop! “
Erica Davies 01-May-20

”Having trained at Gaia school for my level 5 reflexology qualification, I had no hesitation in booking on the AromaReflex training despite being unfamiliar with online training - I felt I would be in safe hands with Carolyn. It was a comprehensive and enjoyable day with a good balance of theory and practical. We still had the opportunity to work as a group and in pairs, with Carolyn at hand to guide and advise. I now feel confident in working with the 12 essential oils and I’m really looking forward to incorporating bespoke blends into my reflexology treatments. “
Vicki Mullin (Vicki Mullin Reflexology) 22-May-20

”I just wanted to send you a quick email to say that I am finding this course absolutely fascinating!!
Learning about the oils in itself is great but the results so far are incredible. I have completed the first two treatments - 1 being a client who was suffering from bladder stones and constant pain. The pain stopped after the 2nd application of the cream having had a full reflexology treatment, and it has not reoccurred. “
