This course was much more interesting and informative than I expected. The information was very useful for my practice and I will be using this knowledge daily. The information/book was in an easy to read format which I will be using as a reference book at my office. I would recommend this course to other massage therapists.

I loved the book and all the reference listings for the oils. I did not really know anything about the use of essential oils; however, I would like to take more classes to expand my knowledge. It was a very positive experience. The information can and will be used in my massage practice.
