How it works

The Essential Oil Specialist is an independent study program with proven results! You have the flexibility to explore at your own pace and on your own schedule. Whether you're a daily learner or someone who prefers dedicated study sessions, the choice of how—and when—to immerse yourself is entirely yours!

A learning journey

This progressive program is the same information as our Certification for Aromatherapy Program.

The difference is that it does not include the Experiential Part of Case Studies and the Research Paper. 

A Flexible, Two-Step Path to Certification

All the  ACP Curriculum minus the case studies and research paper. More Financial Flexibility.

This progressive option gives you the exact same curriculum as our full Aromatherapy Certification Program (ACP)—just divided into two steps so you can move forward and pay at a pace that works for you.

Step 1: Essential Oil Specialist Certification

You receive the same education, the same depth, and the same high standard as the full ACP. Build a strong foundation in essential oil knowledge, blending, safety, and practical applications. Included is the Anatomy and Physiology course and 4 additional bonus interviews.

Once completed, you’ll earn your Essential Oil Specialist Certification.

Optional Step 2: Complete the Aromatherapy Certification Program with the Experiential Aromatherapist Training

Add Part 2 whenever you’re ready, as it is purchased separately. This final section completes the ACP curriculum with Case Studies, Research Paper, and personalized support from your Case Study Instructor.

Course Lessons

Karen Williams

Hi, my name is Karen Williams. As a professional aromatherapist, I love to create amazing blends that inspire and promote a healthier lifestyle. I got my start many years ago as a registered nurse working in the hospital system. But along the way I knew something was missing. I wanted to help people more holistically. Then, I discovered essential oils, and my approach to life changed forever. Now, I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve learned about aromatherapy with my friends, family, and the world. Because - life is so much better with health, happiness, and community.
