WITH 

COLLEEN O'FLAHERTY

Colleen is a registered teacher of the IFA AromaCare course for both Carers and Teacher balboa

he IFA Aromacare Carer’s course is a practical, hands-on course, teaching learners about touch and massage to communicate caring and understanding with the elderly, children and as a means of stress relief for those who have prohibitive physical and mental conditions. It enables carers to add a new dimension to their care and provides a myriad of skills to safely and effectively apply and experience essential oils for those who, for whatever reasons, are unable to tolerate a standard massage on a couch or the more invasive therapies. 

The Aromacare Course is a dynamic and extremely rewarding course to teach. Such is the flexibility of the course that no person or place of care is excluded. You may have already decided which care setting you wish to introduce the course into or simply wish to teach the course to others so that your students may decide for themselves. The short duration of the course (5 days) means it can be taught simultaneously throughout the year. Given the audience the course attracts, a lot of centre owners seek sponsorship for some candidates from their local council and community drawing attention to their clinic in the press.

Contributing Research
Prenatal Developmental origins of
behaviour and mental health: the influence of maternal stress in pregnancy:-

Accumulating research shows that prenatal exposure to maternal stress increases the risk for behavioral and mental health problems later in life.
Van den Bergh et al , 2017



 

Prenatal Maternal Stress, Child

Cortical Thickness, and Adolescent

Depressive Symptoms:-

Prenatal maternal stress was associated with less cortical thickness primarily in frontal and temporal regions and with elevated depressive symptoms; child cortical thickness additionally correlated with adolescent depressive symptoms.
Davis et al, 2019

The importance of community Community - Support & Connect 
Promote safety, trust, and support within a group of pregnant mothers/gestational parents sharing a similar stage in life within a non judgemental honest and directed environment.

Our modern world has given us a version of motherhood which is more about AI than nature.  women are expected to jump back into shape immediately they have had babies.  If you understand physiology you know this is impossible. Yes, you may look thinner, your baby bump is gone and you are back to doing all the things that you did before birth within a few weeks.  But what is going on in your body and therefore your mind?
The body has gone through a major event physiolically and it take time for the body to rebalance - whilst your external body make look great, the inner working of your body's systems and the mind is not.  After yo have each child you need to rebuild every tissue in your body.  If you don't your body will suffer in the menopause.

So honesty, no competition, no judgment. Focus on you.



The gestation period is an amazing demonstration of the the power of nature and this is not fully acknowledged as it once was taking away from women their adding another layer of uncertainty, conflict, loneliness to the pregnancy equation

Healing - Heal the Mother Heal the Child

Following a course that brings an awareness to stress
An better understanding of attachment and 
bond

An awareness of female what is required to support women during their reproductive years

This will lead to a ripple effect in our society.  Children with more confidence, less anxiety, less inner conflict, will be more emotionally and physically healthy.
