Response:

"Without prequdice" Hi, I would suggest that you contact your MEP for your area and the Spanish Embassy and pose the question "Are there any legal restrictions pertaining to the practice of Complementary/Alternative medicine in Spain, and if there is, what are the stipulations/requirements in respect of aromatherapy?" I am disgusted when I read advertisements for courses leading to qualifications which are "Internationally recognised".  They are usually the claims of private companies/schools/individuals who intentionally or unintentionally mislead the public.  "Its not the cowboys you need to worry about, but, the indians".  Information re the above should only be sought from official sources – otherwise it can be a load of "Japanese flute music" (Bull).  Also check out the question of insurance – will the insurers recognise your qualification(s)?

I’m an ITEC qualified aromatherapist and EU citizen based in the United Kingdom. I’ve been offered the chance to live in Spain for two years. Am I permitted to practice in Spain? Are my qualifications recognized in mainland Europe? Thanks, Jamie.
