Knowledge & workshops
Smell is the only one of our senses connected directly to the limbic system, the part of the brain that governs emotions, memories and behaviour. An image we first have to place; a scent works instantly: within seconds scent molecules reach the brain, within minutes the active substances can be detected in the bloodstream. That is exactly what makes scent one of the strongest and at the same time least consciously perceived tools in guest communication.
If you want to go deeper, you will find plenty of information on our studies page and in our blog.
Hotels & businesses
Workshops: knowledge you can smell
Essential oils are concentrated natural products; their use requires knowledge and care. We pass on this knowledge in a practical way: regularly at a renowned hotel management school in Central Switzerland, directly to the hoteliers of tomorrow, and in individually designed workshops for teams and businesses.
Content
From chemistry to the guest journey: we show what distinguishes real essential oils from synthetic fragrances, how scent measurably affects body and mind, and how it can be used deliberately, from booking through check-in, room and spa to check-out.
One focus that sets us apart from other providers: the connection between inner state and scent. Scents work emotionally; we show how.
Time permitting, participants finish by developing their own scent concept for a real business or brand in groups.
Format
Every workshop is tailored to the business and the team: no standard slides, but applied knowledge for everyday life. We also offer engaging do-it-yourself workshops and other leisure and team-building workshops.
Care & health
Workshops: aroma care in everyday nursing
Essential oils and plant knowledge can be a valuable addition to everyday care. For them to be used sensibly, it takes knowledge of the oils, their properties and how to handle them safely.
We pass on this knowledge in a practical way, directly related to everyday care, for nursing professionals, care teams and institutions.
Content
From the plant to the application: we show what is behind essential oils, how they differ and what to pay attention to when using them in care. Topics include:
- Basics of aromatherapy and aroma care
- Important essential oils and their properties
- Ways of using them in everyday care
- Dosage and different forms of application
- Dealing with sensitive people and special situations
- Safety, contraindications and responsible use
- Practical ideas that can be integrated directly into everyday care
An important part is the question: What does this person need in this situation? Because aroma care does not mean using as many oils as possible, but choosing consciously and accompanying individually.
Practice
Depending on the format, we work with the oils directly on site. Participants get to know different applications, can try them out themselves and develop ideas that suit their own everyday care.
Format
The workshops are tailored to the institution, team and field. No standard presentation, but knowledge that actually helps in everyday life.
