At the heart of any client care in aromatherapy is the therapeutic relationship. Nurturing a healthy and meaningful connection between a therapist and their client allows for a much more profound contribution to the success of any aromatherapy treatment.
This evidence-based guide provides an in-depth explanation of the therapeutic alliance, and why connection in a technology dominated world is so important. It also offers practical guidance on how to foster a healthy relationship through active listening and somatosensory awareness. Emphasis is placed on making the client feel safe and at ease, and creating a bespoke practice based on flexibility, awareness, and understanding.
Supplemented with case studies and clinical evidence, aromatherapists can benefit from real-life examples of unique client profiles that often involve important experiences and specific needs, such as menopause, pregnancy, trauma, and anxiety.

Press Reviews
Wendy Belcour, Co-founder Ecole Internationale de Santé Bien-Être
Annie Prince demonstrates beautifully the importance of placing the patient at the centre of a holistic treatment. Listening to, and connecting with, her patient is of the utmost importance and the absolute essence of her personalised consultations. In this guidebook, Annie Prince shares her extensive knowledge and experience, making it an invaluable resource for emerging and established practitioners alike.

Annie Prince's book on the personalised consultation takes the practitioner beyond the transactional nature of a clinical treatment. The truly holistic approach, personal anecdotes supported with sound evidence of the therapeutic relationship provides a way to build a truly human connection. This book is of value to beginning and experienced practitioners, of all types. Human connection has become more important in our post pandemic world and Annie's work opens up ways to enhance our practice.

Annie Prince has a gift for blending practical knowledge with deep emotional resonance, making the practice of aromatherapy feel personal and meaningful. She not only illustrates the power of aromatherapy in real-world situations but also reflects the emotional and psychological vulnerability many people experience when traditional avenues of healing or support haven't worked. The Personalised Consultation in Aromatherapy is a book that would appeal to a broad audience, including seasoned aromatherapists, aromatherapy enthusiasts, and people interested in aromatherapy's emotional effect on physical health. So many aromatherapists struggle to find meaningful work after becoming certified. I hope they read this book and note the profound difference they can make in people's lives.
