About the Aroma Science Institute

At the Aroma Science Institute we specialize in state-of-the-art LIVE as well as HOME STUDY Aromatherapy courses and workshops. We deeply care about your future success as an aromatherapist thus in both our live and homestudy courses (over the phone) you receive supervised instructions by Dr. Poran in essential oil blending. Synergistic blending techniques are an integral part of our excellent aromatherapy training. We provide you the skills you need to customize your own blends upon graduation.

The Aroma Science Institute offers Aromatherapy courses leading to certification as well as various workshops conducted in a relaxed small group setting. Continuing education credits are available for CMTs and soon for RNs as well.

In addition, one-on-one consultations and customized blends are scientifically based on analysis of physiographical responses (such as heart rate and skin conductance) to various oils.

The Aroma Science Institute , also creates customized personalized Aromatherapy perfumes, environmental fragrances for offices and workplaces, and now offers its own line of performance and fitness products to Health Clubs and Spas.

The Aroma Science Institute is the East Coast representative of the " The Aromatherapist," the world's largest line of organic and wild essential oils from Germany. The finest health conscious stores and establishments in the area already carry this exquisite line.

Some of the advantages of our instruction include:

Students experience the often profound variability in individual responses to the oils which is critical for future application....The blending experience and feedback we provide, helps our students gain the necessary confidence in their ability to successfully incorporate aromatherapy into their practice and daily lives....Student questions are answered promptly and students develop the crucial perspective that aromatherapy is a richly colored discipline with a lot of flexibility. Specific student interests are always addressed with the most up to date information. We have the knowledge and expertise to handle emotional releases which may be triggered by essential oils in novice aromatherapists....We have found that our style of instruction promotes individual growth and creativity as well as bonding among classmates with lasting friendships in our live courses...
