BECOME A CERTIFIED AROMATHERAPIST

Clients like to hear that you've undergone training and are a certified practitioner. It raises your status from dabbler to professional. Once you've decided to embark on this career choice, consider joining an association.

Belonging to professional associations in your field will also help you to become established and considered as an expert by your clients. In the United States, NAHA, The National Association of Holistic Aromatherapists is a well-regarded professional aromatherapist association.

For Canadians, consider CFA, The Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists. Both groups campaign for established standards in the field, and increased certification qualifications.

You can combine your knowledge of essential oils with a massage license and offer one of a kind aromatherapy massages. You can add aromatherapy to your alternative therapy or energy healing practice.

Other options include hosting workshops, going on the lecture circuit, and even creating your own line of essential oil products.
