Short Course Mānuka and Kānuka Essential Oils

**early bird price until 30 July** save $30

I have been involved in researching and writing about these wonderful NZ grown oils over the past twenty years. I have written a Doctorate on them, a book chapter and many articles. Many practitioners do not appreciate that there are many differences in these oils related to the geographical locations. In reposnse to popular demand I have put all my knowledge and research into a comprehensive course.

The course is offered via an online two hour lecture with time for questions and answers PLUS a sample set of twelve different oils from different locations around the country. A PDF resource package which incudes the presentation slides, copies of my articles for personal research, anlalyses of oils, and study notes and communication with Wendy after the course to discuss your own practice (via email)*. Note the oils I will be talking about are commerically available by private distillers and i hope to negotiate a discounted rate for particpants. International particpants are welcome to participate- please select the right option for international posting.

Particpants will receive a certifcate noting the course equates to six hours of learning which can be used for Continuing Professional Development 

Date of Course 21 September 2025 3-5pm NZST (other times may be available in October depending on demand)

Note: Price includes postage in NZ and overseas. At checkout please ensure you select the correct option to ensureyou don't pay double postage.

*email communication for up to one month after the course to answer any queries. No additional research time included.
