Corporate Training
W ithout a true understanding of aromatherapy and essential oils, which many people are using today, your team will be missing the key to gaining your patients’ trust when seeking medical care, whether in the form of alternative or complementary modalities or making sure that there is no adverse reaction with any medication ordered by the physician. Your staff’s knowledge of Aromatherapy and essential oils will enhance your patient’s appreciation of the medical services being provided demonstrating the care you want to be known for.
There is a great difference in the quality of aromatherapy products available in the market today. Several important factors contribute to this, including where the plants are grown, when the plants are harvested, and the expertise used in the extraction process, as well as how the finished product is stored.

Our corporate training program is divided into four parts:
1 The Physiology portion of the seminar will, in part, include an in depth discussion of the use of plants throughout time and the evolution of the aromatherapy process; it will provide much needed and often overlooked information about the grades of oils (both essential or aromatherapy oils and base or carrier oils); it will provide information about the potential for toxicity to the client and to the therapist if essential oils and/or carrier (massage) oils are not used correctly; and describe the manner in which the oils gain entrance to the body, including the olfactory epithelium, lungs, skin, blood vessels, and muscles.
2 The Risk Management portion of the seminar will provide a number of do’s and don’ts from a trial lawyer’s perspective in case you are involved in a lawsuit of a client either as a defendant being sued or as a witness, since you provided treatment to the client; discuss who owns the client’s records and who can see the original or copies of the client’s records; scope of practice issues; why massage oils are considered to be hazardous substances and what you need to consider when using them in your practice; protecting yourself with an awareness of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) and other applicable federal laws.
3 The Professional Ethics portion of the seminar will analyze the law pertaining to non-compete agreements (which may prevent a health care provider from practicing in a certain geographic area after he or she leaves one job to take another, or to open a solo practice); undue influence exerted by a potential employer which may severely limit a therapists ability to practice; and disclosure of a client’s personal information, which if not authorized, will subject a health care provider to legal sanctions.
4 The Legalese portion of the seminar will provide an in depth review of Chapters 456 and 480 of the Florida Statutes as well as the provisions found in Chapter 64B7 of the Florida Administrative Code.
