Please note: It is our belief that Massage can only be learned in a classroom situation. As this is a Home Study Aromatherapy Course this is not possible. Anyone wishing to incorporate Massage into their practice of Aromatherapy is advised to personally attend a massage course in their local area or take one of the massage options offered by the West Coast Institute of Aromatherapy i.e. Aromatherapy 301, the 3 day intensive or the Aroma Massage DVD.
