Turn Your Passions Into Profit as an Aromatherapy Teacher

If you have a passion for essential oils and a desire to help others use them safely and effectively, you can make a difference (and a great income) as an aromatherapy teacher! 

Aromatherapy has become SO popular. And the internet allows us to connect with like-minded people and find others who want what we have to give. Aromatherapy jobs are flourishing in this environment. 

We hear from students every day who love essential oils and want to learn more about them. They start out with a few basic questions, turn to Google, and wind up feeling confused and overwhelmed by conflicting information. Perhaps this has even happened to you! 

So many people are looking for a trusted guide, and you can be part of the solution. We desperately need educated teachers who can provide evidence-based education on essential oil benefits, uses, and critical safety guidelines.

If you’d love to teach but worry that you’re too shy to lead a workshop, don’t count yourself out! Introverts and extroverts can be equally effective in the classroom so long as they have the right education and tools to support their lessons. That’s where we can help! 

Here at Aromahead, we’re dedicated to safe and effective aromatherapy for all. As an educational institute, we recognize the growing need for passionate, informed aromatherapy educators. We created the Teacher Training Program to help close the gap by offering all the knowledge, tools, frameworks, lesson plans, and materials teachers need to get started right away.  

Can you earn a good income as an aromatherapy teacher?

The answer is YES. You can earn an excellent income as an aromatherapy teacher! And you can teach classes on any aromatherapy topic you can dream up (as long as you're well-educated on essential oils).

Teaching aromatherapy can help support your lifestyle in many ways, whether you’re looking for:

• a rewarding side hustle

All you need to start teaching is a solid education 

One thing you'll want to consider: 

If you want a career as an aromatherapy teacher, you'll definitely want to invest in your own education.

Understanding essential oil science can go a long way toward building your confidence and your clarity when you're sharing information with others. It's also important to know about safety issues, chemistry, recent research, potential drug interactions with essential oils, how many drops of oil to use, and more.

There is so much to know!

That's why there is so much to teach.
