The Eclectic Institute of Aromatherapy and Herbal Studies invites you to come and study the ancient art and science of Aromatherapy and Herbalism, to indulge your senses in courses that will awaken you to the beauty and healing powers of the plant kingdom.
We are proud to offer an interactive, comprehensive certification to those desiring hands on training in aromatherapy and herbalism in New England.
These courses are designed to bring both art and science together, to stimulate and inspire while providing practical information and skills for everyday use.
The Institute’s goals are to provide you with the information needed to work with these complementary tools in ways that are both safe and effective.
Learning to make your own herbal, aromatherapy and cosmetic products will enable you to customize and target your creations for specific conditions and ailments. In doing so you will also have control over the quality of your products as well as their safety. You will find it far more cost effective and empowering to produce your own remedies, with fewer concerns for side effects and contraindications.
Only through living things, such as plants and oils can we gain vitality, strengthen the body, and enhance vibrancy.

2021 – 2022 Schedules
DURING COVID-19 we are trying our best to offer live classes in order to introduce you to essential oils in person. It is very difficult to learn about aroma when you cannot smell them. During the pandemic we are taking every precaution by following the standards set by the state to ensure the health and safety of everyone in class. Because we will be practicing social distancing, all live classes will be limited to the number of participants. If interested in studying, please register early to ensure your place in class.
Here are the schedules and locations for the courses offered in 2021 & 2022. Some courses are offered several times in different locations throughout New England. All registration must be done through those hosting the course. Please contact the location of interest to secure your place within the class. Prior registration is required to ensure adequate materials for all students. There is limited space so please register early to ensure availability. Complete course descriptions are available under appropriate tabs or are listed within course information.

Palmistry; a tool of diagnosis
Offered through Alternatives for Health

Once used as a diagnostic tool for physicians, the palms and hands give us insight into physical health and emotional well-being. Learning to decipher the differences in hands and the meanings behind the individual characteristics, allows us to determine the strengths, weaknesses, and blockages in our clients. Since hands can change every six months, they are a current reflection of who we are and the stresses we’re under.
This is a science, there is no psychic or intuitive ability used or
needed. This course offers all the necessary information to interpret the meanings of the hands, palms and lines.
Certification is awarded upon completion.
