This 2-day programme considers the fundamental role of aromatherapy in supporting the emotional and spiritual impact of life-limiting illness with an overall aim to foster an individual’s resilience in their end-of-life care.
Day 1 – explores emotional distress experienced by patients and their families using the principles of holistic assessment. Essential oils appropriate to this area of care are profiled.
Day 2 – building on the experiences of Day 1, we consider the ways in which we identify spiritual distress in the palliative setting. Essential oils, suitable for deeper levels of spiritual connection, will be explored.
Several practical sessions – designed to enhance your confidence in essential oil blending and personalising aromatherapy interventions to meet an individual’s unique presentation emotionally and spiritually at varying stages of their end-of-life journey.
Personal well-being – where emphasis is given to approaches and rituals aimed at enhancing personal rest, relaxation and fostering personal resilience.
