Training in Aromatherapy for Animals at NWSAM and Bermaga Farm The Northwest School of Animal Massage (NWSAM) has been offering aromatherapy classes for animals for 20 years through its affiliation with Joan Sorita and her special line of tinctures and flower signatures. In 2017, NWSAM introduced an Animal Aromatic Science program for professional certification. The course combines online learning with hands-on practical training to ensure students get the science and the practical experience they need to successfully add aromatics to their animal practice or to better understand how to bring this healing modality to their own pets or horses. NWSAM has also partnered with LabAroma, one of the most highly regarded international aromatherapy training programs, to offer a LabAnimal course in the use of aromatics and cannabinoids for animals. Sorita developed both the NWSAM and the LabAroma courses for animals. Hands-on trainings are held at Bermaga Farm in Montesano, Washington, where Sorita grows many of the medicinal plants and flowers used in her products. Students who attend class there have the unique opportunity to see the products in every stage of their development, from plant to bottle, and to then apply them in their work with the farm's many animals. Bermaga Farm elixirs (above) were used during the Australian bush fires to treat animals for burns and stress.
