Aromatherapy for Resilience, Emotional & Spiritual Palliation

This 2-day programme considers the fundamental role of aromatherapy with fostering resilience and supporting the emotional and spiritual impact of life-limiting illness.

Day 1 – explores resilience and emotional distress experienced by patients and their families, with an emphasis on the principles of holistic assessment. Essential oils appropriate to this area of care are profiled.

Several practical sessions will enhance your personal discovery of essential oil blending and applications appropriate for the emotional supportive care of the patient, their family and caregivers.

Day 2 – building on the experiences of Day 1, we will consider the importance of spiritual care and the ways in which we identify spiritual distress in the palliative setting. Essential oils, suitable for deeper levels of spiritual connection, will be explored through several practical sessions. The aim being to enhance confidence in personalising aromatherapy interventions to meet the individual’s unique presentation at varying stages of their end-of-life journey.

As professional carers, emphasis is given to the value of self-care, including approaches and rituals to enhance personal rest and relaxation to foster personal resilience and support our emotional and spiritual well-being.

Each participant will make 2 aromatic products to take home. PowerPoint notes will be provided.
