Common questions

Before you buy anything

Do I need to buy everything before I start seeing clients?: No. Most aromatherapists start with the startup guide to get the basics organised, then add consultation and booking templates and a pricing tool as they go. It's designed to help you build up your setup at your own pace.
Are these legal or medical documents?: No. These are downloadable templates and guides to help you get organised and set up practically. They're not a substitute for professional advice and don't replace your training, qualifications, professional body membership or insurance. Anything around oil safety, consultation records or client health is yours to handle properly.
Can I use these if I'm already practising?: Yes. Plenty of aromatherapists who are already seeing clients pick these up to tidy up their pricing, consultation records and bookings rather than starting from scratch.
How do I receive the files?: They're instant digital downloads. After purchase you can download the templates and guides straight away and start using them.
Which should I buy first?: Most aromatherapists begin with the startup guide to map the setup, then the pricing calculator so single sessions and packages cover your oil, carrier and product costs, and the business documents for your consultation forms and booking records. Add the rest, like the social kit for gift-voucher season, as you go.

The work is one thing. The setup is another.

Pricing single sessions and treatment packages so your oil and product costs are actually covered, whether you blend your own from single oils or buy pre-blended, with carrier oils factored in
Working out whether room rent or going mobile leaves you better off once travel and time are in the sums
Keeping consultation and client records tidy and consistent from one visit to the next without paper piling up
Staying on top of oil stock and which blends you've used so you're never caught short mid-week
Filling the diary and getting regulars rebooking, and handling the Christmas rush of gift-voucher bookings, when most of your visibility is local and word of mouth

What to sort first

Your get-set-up checklist

1
Sort how you'll price sessions and packages
Decide your per-session rates and package pricing with your oil and product costs factored in before you take your first booking.
2
Decide on room rent vs mobile
Work out whether a home room, a rented clinic room or working mobile makes the most sense once travel, time and rent are weighed up.
3
Set up your consultation and client records
Get a tidy, consistent way to keep consultation forms and client notes. This is practical record-keeping, not medical or health advice.
4
Get a handle on oils, blends and stock
Set up a simple way to track your essential-oil stock and the blends you use so reordering doesn't catch you out. Oil safety and any requirements are something to look into and sort yourself.
5
Plan bookings, rebooking and cancellations
Decide how you'll take bookings, handle the occasional cancellation and nudge regulars to rebook, and plan for the Christmas spike in gift-voucher sales and the redemptions that follow.
6
Make yourself easy to find locally
Plan how new and repeat clients will discover you through Instagram, local Facebook and referrals.
7
Look into insurance and your professional body
Insurance and professional body membership are a prompt to look into and sort yourself. The templates don't replace your training, qualifications or membership.
