Soothe, restore, and regulate your nervous system with Essential Oils
Your nervous system shapes everything — how you sleep, how you feel, how you meet the world, and how you heal. When it is dysregulated, everything costs more. When it is resourced, everything becomes more possible. Aromatics and the Nervous System© is your personal journey into that resourced state — a self-paced course that weaves together the science of nervous system regulation with the ancient, intelligent medicine of Essential Oils. Whether you're a healer, a teacher, or a seeker, this course offers you not just knowledge, but an experience of deep energetic harmony. With theory, guided aromatic practices, Aromapoint Technique, and meditations, you'll learn to soothe, rebalance, and deeply nourish your nervous system from the inside out. Join now and begin your restoration.
Why aromatics?
Aromatics — specifically Essential Oils — are not merely fragrances. They are concentrated vibrational signatures of plants, distilled from the memory of sunlight, soil, and elemental transmutation. When understood in this way, Essential Oils become something extraordinary: direct messengers to the nervous system. Through the olfactory pathway — the most ancient and intimate of our senses — aromatic molecules travel in seconds to the limbic brain, the seat of emotion, memory, and autonomic regulation. They don't simply smell beautiful. They speak to the body in a language older than words, gently guiding it from fear into safety, from overwhelm into ease.
A unique approach to aromatics
On this journey, you'll work with essential oils aromatically, topically, and through Aromapoint Technique — a method that applies properly diluted oils to specific points and body zones to create targeted therapeutic shifts. When placed along the body's nervous system pathways, these oils work on multiple levels simultaneously: calming the sympathetic response, nourishing the vagus nerve, and restoring the body's natural rhythms of rest and recovery. This approach not only quiets an overstimulated system but connects you directly to the inner nature of the plants themselves. Practiced by healers and therapists alike, Aromapoint Technique has been validated by acupuncturists who observe measurable shifts in pulses, tongue, and Shen. By pairing the chemistry and energetics of oils with an intimate understanding of the nervous system, you'll learn to guide the body from fight-or-flight into the profound safety of rest. This is more than application — it's regulation in action.
Who is this for?
Healers, therapists, bodyworkers, yoga teachers, and somatic practitioners — AND curious seekers ready to tend to their own nervous system. What matters most, for all of us, is that we continue to do our own inner work. This course gives you tools and practices to use first for yourself, and then to weave into your sessions, teachings, or healing work. It deepens your understanding of how the body holds and releases stress, and offers practical, aromatic applications you can bring to your clients or students with confidence and care

Your Guide
Aromatics and the Nervous System was created by Amelia Adrian — founder of Aromatics for Yoga©, the first training of its kind in the UK, and a leading voice in the integration of Aromatherapy and the body's innate intelligence.
With over a decade of experience and thousands of students and practitioners supported, Amelia's approach is both rigorous and tender — grounded in research, alive with intuition, and always rooted in the body. Having recently completed her Spinal Energetics™ training, she is now weaving this profoundly transformative modality into everything she teaches.
This course is not simply about learning. It is an invitation to resource yourself, to trust the plants as allies, and to remember what it feels like to be genuinely at ease.
Kirsty McGill (pilates & yoga teacher), Aromatics for Healers© Winter 2026
""The experience of working with essential oils was like remembering a piece of my living and practice that had been quietly waiting to return. I feel confident in bringing the oils, practices, and learnings into my own life, my teaching, and my personal well-being - as well as that of my daughters. It feels like a gift for all of us. The connection with TCM flows naturally into what I already offer - something unplanned, yet arriving perfectly, as if it had always been meant to be."
Jenny Light ~ Aromatics for Yoga© 2024 & Aromatics for Healers 2026 graduate
I would definitely recommend to any of my yoga teacher friends interested to explore more about essential oils in their teaching. My biggest takeway was the Aroma Points Technique - it planted a seed. I always wanted to be a body worker as well as a yoga teacher as have a huge interest in people’s wellbeing but also Aroma Point Technique fascinates me like fascia and emotions etc. The course definitely inspired me to take that step further so thank you!!! 🙏🏻
Lana Lay, Graduate of Aromatics for Yoga© Spring Session 2025
I was almost completely new to essential oils, so the depth and breadth of information, all the ways the EOs can be explored and incorporated, has been transformational for me. I very much enjoy Amelia's energy and the way she explains things. I loved that Amelia offered many different ways to incorporate EOs into the yoga practice, and that we practised in flow, yin and restorative styles...I love how there's both structure AND freedom.
Isabel Som Monsieurs ~ Aromatics for Yoga© 30 hour graduate 2025
"The structure of the training really worked for me - theory mixed with hands-on exercises and yoga, SUPER. Yes Absolutely! (I would recommend this training). The combination of Yoga / Shiatsu / Qigong / DoIn with essential oils is fantastic. It helps you ground and feel yourself in a more profound way. Thank you Amelia for showing me another way to do this."
Graduate of Aromatics for Yoga© Spring Session 2025
"So many Aha moments. I feel like I have learnt and started embedding a personal oil and yoga practice. Such an enriching environment and deep immersion into a very beautiful emotional, physical and spiritual practice. I now see the oils sat on their shelves as powerful allies who I can call upon at any time. I am in LOVE! IFeel more confident to start sharing within cancer setting - this is a BIG deal as was totally freaked about this previously.
Glenna Gerstenkornais, Graduate of Aromatics for Yoga© Summer Session 2024
"Amelia's experience, knowledge wisdom and passion combined with her intuition and professional manner allowed for a very rich learning experience. Combining the oils with acupoints was a big "aha" as well as the oil meditations. It made me realise how much there is to discover... and that the possibilities with these incredible oils are endless."
Isabel Hirschnigg, Graduate of Aromatics for Yoga© Summer Session 2024
"Thank you very much Amelia, you are a great teacher! I feel like I am at the beginning of a deeper journey, I feel very inspired and I’m very thankful for having you as a teacher. Yes...this course (which) opened new opportunities for teaching yoga and to deepen my yoga experience as well as the experience of my students. I feel I have something very special to offer.
Anais Alvarado Teacher and Yoga Studio Owner
"People love the classes with oils. They have mentioned the oils add a layer to their practice that is very personal and very helpful. They’re able to connect with their breath for longer and remain focused for longer. The oils also bring a sense of luxury to the experience on the mat...All classes I taught with oils before have been far better attended than those where I didn’t use the oils."
