Hi Nina and welcome to the forum.

Try contacting the larger hotels on the island. Most have a Spa section and July/August is the main season.

You won't find these practices near the beaches as there are not many beaches.They are usually dotted across the larger towns or in the hotels.

Professions Complementary to Medicine are regulated in Malta but as far as I know aromatherapy/message are not listed with the Council so maybe just avoid using the words complementary therapy treatment-)))- at least when you are dealing with the authorities like ETC ( you need to register with them to work in Malta).

I wish you luck
Ricky

Thankyou for your advice. And What is ETC? so I would probably need to get insurance once I am in Malta correct? Do you know of any main hotels you could recommend to me that I could email to start off with? And just to confirm, so I could still deliver aspects of aromatherapy treatment as long as I just classified this as massage in general?

Hi Nina,

as I said, as far as I know aromatherapy or massage does not fall under the Complementary Medicine Act unless it is part of 'Physiotherapy'.

Knowing Malta if you ask too many questions you might be asked to prove that what you are delivering is not Complementary Medicine. If it where  you would not get a permit to deliver it anyway . Best would be to contact one of the Spa's and ask.

As to the hotels and Spa's just Google Aromatherapy and Malta. I personally do not have any contacts in that area.

ETC is the equivalent of the British Job Centre's. For EU citizens working in Malta you have to inform them but you don't need a work permit since April 2011.
