Our take

Based on the ratings of 247 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short, practical course from Mark Perren-Jones, a certified aromatherapist, massage therapist and acupuncturist. It runs about two hours across 38 lectures. The idea is simple: pick two essential oils, then press specific acupressure points to ease back pain, neck pain, headaches, knee pain, sore feet, sciatica and more. It is aimed mainly at people treating themselves, though the description also pitches it to friends, family and massage clients.

Reviewers like the teaching. They call Mark lively, easy to follow and straight to the point, and one says it helps that he shows the points on himself. The printable PDF notes get a specific shout-out. A few students who already work with massage or aromatherapy say it slots neatly beside his other courses. Complaints are mild. One reviewer found the pace a bit fast, and another wanted clearer help locating some of the pressure points. Of 247 ratings, 179 are five stars and none are below three.

The syllabus is lean. Most of the time sits in the final section on treating specific pains, about 88 minutes, after a 34-minute introduction. There is one quiz and a short plug for his free music channel. It was last updated in January 2025. It is a sensible pick for anyone who wants a quick, usable routine. The sales page makes strong claims about pain relief, so treat this as self-care, not a replacement for a doctor.

Best forMassage therapists and self-care fans who want a short, point-by-point routine using only two essential oils.
Skip it ifYou want clinical evidence, deep acupuncture theory, or a full aromatherapy foundation course.

Pros

  • Only two essential oils are needed for the whole course, so setup is simple
  • Mark demonstrates the points on his own body, which one reviewer found really helpful
  • Printable PDF notes that reviewers call helpful and straightforward
  • Covers a long list of complaints, from back and neck pain to sciatica and tennis elbow

Cons

  • One reviewer found the pace fast, and another wanted clearer help locating some points
  • At about two hours, depth on any single condition is limited
  • Pain-relief claims in the pitch come without sources in the syllabus
This is such a great course. So much information. Mark shows the points on himself and it's realy helpfull. Thank you Mark for sharing this knowledge.

All Levels fits. Beginners can follow it, though massage therapists will get the most out of it.

Course Description

Using aromatherapy acupressure for pain relief results in more significant clinical effects than using either aromatherapy or acupressure by themselves!

Welcome to the aromatherapy acupressure for pain relief course!

Mark is a Fully Certified Aromatherapist in Aromatherapy and an essential oil specialist, approved by The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), and the Alliance of International Aromatherapists (AIA) – both leading governing bodies for educational standards for Aromatherapists. He is also a massage therapist and acupuncturist with over 30 years experience.

In this course, you will learn how to combine the most effective acupressure points for pain relief with aromatherapy essential oils to have an incredibly powerful synergistic pain relieving effect on the body.

You will only need two different aromatherapy essential oils to use on the acupressure points throughout the entire course.

You are going to learn how you can effectively treat your own pain and also, if you want, be able to treat your friends, family and massage clients using aromatherapy acupressure.

On completion on this course you will know exactly which aromatherapy essential oils to use and which specific acupressure points to press to treat your own:

  • Back pain

  • Neck pain

  • Injuries

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Sore and tired feet

  • Knee pain

  • Shoulder pain and tightness

  • Stress related pain

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Tennis elbow

  • Hip pain

  • Sciatica

  • And so much more!

You will also learn the specific acupressure points  and aromatherapy essential oils to use daily to help with pain, inflammation and increase your energy giving you better emotional and physical balance!

So the next time that you have those tight shoulders, or that neck pain and tension headache, instead of reaching for the panadol you will now reach for your aromatherapy essential oil and start performing acupressure!

Remember that you also have a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely happy with the course!

I look forward to teaching you all about this amazing modality-aromatherapy acupressure!

This was a really excellent and fascinating workshop. I learned so many new things, like everything was new to me. The voice of the instructor was pleasant and kept my attention. His examples and pointing out all points of the body with the written outline was SO helpful! I will watch this video again in the future! Thanks for having information we can use to help ourselves and our clients.

By Michael Citgo on 1/31/2023

Excellent Very practical.... Mr. Mark was a little fast because of our culture difference but very helpful. I took a reflexology course, and it was more theorical. Mr. Mark's was exceptional. He also gave a lot of information. He shared some of his secrets. I loved this course. Thank You Mr. Mark Keep teaching others.

By Sandra Fisher on 4/4/2021

Another awesome course by Mark. All information can be used for treating self or others so this course is great for therapists and anyone who just wants to relieve their own pain. All information presented in an easy to understand manner for acupressure points and essential oils.

By Marites Petit on 4/3/2021

This is my 4th time course with Mark. Happy student here as always! I found the solution of my long time upper back pain, migraine and my daughter knee pain at night. For many pain relief issues this course will guide you through it.

By Isabel Oswald on 10/12/2020

Mark is a very enthusiastic teacher and I like all his courses, just as this one, because he teaches everything in short, understandable lessons without talking too much. He does have extra resources, and if the information is not enough, you can always google. For a quick touch-up, or to get basic information to work and help yourself, it's perfect.

By SL C on 10/12/2020

It was very informative and helpful. But the trainer's talking speed is a little bit fast and when demonstrating on the pressure points, it's a bit hard to grasp as couldn't quite get a good view on the video. Overall, it was good.

By Mirna Vizcaino on 8/27/2020

I really enjoyed this class it was very simple to follow I loved how clear the instructor was during the course. Thank you so much this is the second class that I take by Mark and will definitely be on the lookout for other classes by him.

By Marie Anja Isadora Grahn on 5/19/2020

Clear and easy I was learning about the differents spots to push for diferent pains, I had thought is was going to much harder to do this course online, but no. During the course, finding my spots, my backpain actually stopped. I highly recomend it!

By Wendy Lafirira on 3/18/2020

If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. This course is very informative with useful information that you can use right away on yourself or your clients. I am very impressed with the amount of information that is passed on from Mark to his students in his courses. He is definitely my favorite! Thank you Mark!

By Julie Kranitz on 12/9/2019

This course is AMAZING! Started watching and had to jump to the hip area since I couldn't wait. I was shocked how quickly my issued improved after doing the simple exercise that Mark recommended. Wow and THANKS So much. Been to so many therapists and never heard this and I'm in control of my own healing. I love it!
