The International Clinical Aromatherapy Network (ICAN) selected 25 qualified and certified aromatherapists from among its 1,800 members to take part in a free 8-hour masterclass focused on the core principles of clinical research in aromatherapy.
What Participants Are Saying
Participants expressed a clearer understanding of how evaluation differs from research or audit. They reported being equipped to apply these evaluation tools in aromatherapy settings.
“This lecture made evaluation feel practical and achievable. I have already designed a protocol to evaluate one of my interventions and I’m excited to use the methods discussed.”
The training demystified the peer-review process, motivating participants to publish their own clinical work and research in aromatherapy and integrative care.
“This lecture provided a clear roadmap for publishing a peer-reviewed manuscript. I feel empowered to share my clinical experiences and research.”
Participants noted concrete changes in their professional approach, including the introduction of outcome measurement, more structured evaluations, and reflective practice.
“I have begun to assess the outcomes of my sessions and introduced new measures to monitor progress and effectiveness. This has helped improve the quality of care.”
