☆★3 steps to discover a new you! ★☆You can learn self-care knowledge while visualizing "your current self" through scent◎★☆Introducing our plan☆★For those who think "it's too good to do it just once". You can take a formal qualification course (introductory course) while conducting a "scent health check" using olfactory response analysis in three separate sessions. ✔ Each session includes a formal assessment (advice for improving your physical condition)✔ The feeling of "visualizing" changes in your physical condition and mood through scent✔ The more you learn, the more self-care tips you can get that can be applied to your life! "Olfactory response analysis" scientifically interprets the state of your mind and body from your scent preferences. In this three-part course for olfactory response analysts, you will not only learn the theory, but also gain both "knowledge" and "realization" by repeatedly checking your physical condition each time. The way you perceive scent is linked to your physical condition and emotions. "I didn't like this scent before, but I might like it today" Such changes also have a solid meaning. This three-part course is recommended for the following people: ♪ Those who want to seriously start self-care for their physical and mental health ♪ Those who want to make changes in themselves while learning olfactory response analysis ♪ Those who want to learn with continuous support rather than one-off ♪ Those who are considering obtaining qualifications in the aroma field in the future (The instructor is not only an olfactory response analyst instructor, but also an AEAJ aromatherapist and instructor (from May 1, 2025)).

You can receive an olfactory response analysis assessment three times! ! Not only can you learn, but you can also take home a simplified version kit! !
