olfactory system/ USA requirements of aromatherapy

[Guest guest]

Hi if anyone can help I would greatly apprectiate it!

I am a student studying anatomy, physiology, massage

and aromatherapy, I live in the UK but will be

returning to the states in the fall of this year when

my studies are finished... I am trying to find out

what requirements there are to practicing massage and

or aromatherapy massage in the USA, We don't know what

state we will be in yet~~military~~ but ANY clue would

be greatly appreciated. Also I am looking for a

SIMPLE diagram of the olfactory system... I am not

much of an artist and have been told that on the

examination, more than likely we will be asked to draw

and label the olfactory system!! HELP!!

 

Thanks! Rosemarie

Rosemarie,

 

The laws for the practice of massage differ from state to state. Not all

states have licensure, but many do. Most states that have licensure

require a minimum of 500 hours of massage instruction, and this is broken

down into different subject areas. Knowing the UK programs very well (I

lived there and also studied there for a few years), the massage instruction

in the aromatherapy programs fall well below the hours required for licensed

US practice. You can check the American Massage Therapy website to see if

they have state licensure info, or you can search for the individual state

government websites. State gov't websites always have a site that outlines

professional licensure requirements.
