Aromatherapy VS. Massage

Massage/Tuina:

1. You obtain a massage license through massage school studies and Government examinations. The cost of completing the massage school courses and passing the examination may be as high as $10,000, and it may take 6 to 9 months to study complex Chinese and English courses

2. After you pass the exam, you must also pay the state massage bureau’s administrative fees to obtain a massage license

3. In addition, you must purchase accident liability insurance to protect you if an accident occurs at work

4. You can only work in the state where you are licensed to massage. If you need to work in another state, the other state may require you to add additional hours of study. Most states require an additional 150 hours of massage school before they can approve you for a massage license in that state

5. Some people have gone to massage school and paid all the fees, but may not be able to pass the exam to get a massage license, which means your money is wasted. This happens often. Isn’t it a thankless effort and a waste of your money, energy and time?

Aromatherapy:

1. The operation of aromatherapy is a kind of light to moderate touch on the body, and essential oils must be used to moderately touch the human body, so as to achieve a healing technique that relaxes the body, relieves fatigue and stress

2. Remember not to perform deep tissue massage on the client’s body during aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is not deep tissue, sports massage, and physical therapy. Only light to moderate touch is used on the guest's body. No back walking is allowed. No stretching of the guest's body. Only light to moderate pressure is used to relax the guest's body. 

3. Aromatherapy must use essential oils

4. To become an aromatherapist, you do not need to spend more than half a year studying. After you formally apply and pay the fee, you can complete the entire process within 10 working days and obtain a set of aromatherapist certificates. Just apply and you will be approved. 

5. There is no annual fee for the aromatherapist certificate. There is no need to renew as long as it is obtained and it is valid forever

6. With this set of certificates, you can work anywhere in the United States without paying transfer fees like a massage license

7. Aromatherapy is not regulated by the government and does not require official permission. You can add aromatherapy services to your spa anywhere in the United States, you can work at any spa, or you can start and open your own spa anywhere.

But if you want to do deep tissue massage, sports massage, or physical therapy massage, you have to get a state massage license. Aromatherapy is a form of light to moderate relaxing body touch that does not require state licensing. You can obtain a set of our Healing Hands Aromatherapy Certificates within 10 working days.
