Student Testimonials
Hear from our students
I am always keen to learn more about aromatherapy in a proper way. Proper way meaning not just about massage and not about MLM business model type of selling essential oil but the correct and safe usage of essential oil in a holistic approach. I sign up for the course immediately when I know Nila is offering this course and Adeline is teaching. In the pass 13-14 months [due to Covid] we go through a lot of changes. From physical classroom lessons to zoom lessons and the inconvenience and adjustments we have to make, the only consistent element throughout this period was Adeline’s care for us. She make sure we continue to receive notes, small sample of essential oil and putting extra lesson hours for us. She keep all of us united too although we can only meet virtually. Adeline always encourage us to read up more from other renowned aromatherapy experts, learn from different teaching, analysis it and widening our own knowledge base. I am very blessed to have Adeline as my teacher and learning the correct and safe way of aromatherapy. What Adeline teaches us is definitely more than what it’s in the textbook but a lot more about humanity, kindness and gentleness in life. A good teacher teach what you need to know. A great teacher like Adeline bring us to look at what we can learn and help us to build up our knowledge and development a life long learning lifestyle.
It was a very thorough and educational course. Adeline do not only use the course materials, she will always go to the extra mile to explain and show us different materials to ensure that we understand. You would think that night time studies will be tiring but I can assure you that none of us night class students doze off, cause every session is engaging and exciting.
Highly recommend Aromatherapy Foundation course if you intend to use and blend essential oils. With a passionate tutor like Helen Ding, it was highly informative and also holistic approach, from using the oils safely to using them responsibly.
Overall, I am really glad that I have enrolled for this course as it has greatly expanded my knowledge. It has also affected my increment change in lifestyle – to use more natural ingredients for household cleaning agents. I am more aware of chemicals and synthetic smell and the possible harm to our bodies and to the environment. It’s all about sustainability. I highly recommend this course to others. Also I have also gained new friends through coming for this course – we support each other and share our trials and errors in our journey and experience.
I say thank you to the teacher Because she taught us with passion and to the staff that help her to organise the course.
The knowledge on essential oils and their appropriate uses is very useful.
The teacher always ready to share information that i need for the course of study. She was able to make herself available in times when I needed clarification during self-study and offer additional notes in order for me to understand and relate back to many pointers in different modules. Could not have asked for a better teacher.
I signed up for this aromatherapy course as I wanted to broaden my knowledge for making natural products at home and did not want to expose my family to toxic chemicals and indoor pollution caused by cleaning sprays, beauty products, etc. Adeline and Helen are incredible teachers, very patient and you can tell how much they love and respect nature and essential oils. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking learn more about essential oils, how to use them to heal your life and how to live a life that is gentle and in tune with nature.
I have more in-depth knowledge over aromatherapy after the course. This gives me more credibility when I speak about essential oils.
Great experience learning from the teacher, Adeline Lim. Much can be understood from listening to her experiences and advice.
As I did self study, our teacher, Adeline, is always ready to answer any queries that I have. In addition, she also shares her hands-on experience with us that makes learning more interesting. Overall, it is a great learning journey and experience.
I am currently attending the NAHA level 1 (Foundation in Aromatherapy). Awesome experience to learn from Adeline (The Founder of Nila Aromatherapy). Her Lime Oil massage and warm towel massage did help to relieve a bit of my family member nagging constipation issue. There are more to shared in her class. Look forward to learn more in the next NAHA level!
Attending this course has been a truly enriching experience.
I came in with a basic interest in essential oils, but this course has opened my eyes to realize they are far more than just pleasant scents. They hold powerful therapeutic properties that can support holistic health and each oil has unique qualities that work in harmony with our body system.
Helen, our tutor, her knowledge runs deep, but more than that, she has a warm, patient, and encouraging approach that makes learning feel personal and meaningful. She takes time to ensure we understand the importance of safety and respect for these natural essences.
Through her guidance, I am gaining valuable insights into selecting and blending oil thoughtfully, using them with gratitude and maximizing their benefits.
