Professional Member Associations
www.aroma-iata.com
The International Aromatherapists and Tutors Association promotes the
responsible use of aromatherapy products, based on appropriate research.
It has an 'Advanced Clinical Studies course on Aromatherapy', and various
categories of membership. One of its board members runs the Aromamedical
site.
www.ifaroma.org
The site of the International Federation of Aromatherapists. They
have a list of suggested books to read on the subject and some news,
and a list of workshops. They offer insurance.
www.ifparoma.org
The site of the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists(IFPA).
Formed in 2002 from the International Society of Aromatherapists (ISPA)
and the Register of Qualified Aromatherapists (RQA), who have now
been formally dissolved. The IFA has voted not to join. The IFPA has
over 3,000 members and the site has the usual membership offerings:
news, training establishments, a few articles and insurance.
General Aromatherapy Sites
www.aromacaring.co.uk
A site for aromatherapists with lots of useful information, including consultation forms, case studies and details about using essential oils to treat medical conditions.
www.aromamedical.com
If you are a professional aromatherapist or thinking of studying the subject, this is certainly worth checking out. It offers a fairly damning critique of the state of aromatherapy training in the UK, the professional membership organisations and textbook aromatherapy publications or 'novels' as the site's author calls them. It's also got lots of articles on the subject.
www.allaromatherapy.com
This Aromatherapy Directory is designed to help its users find aromatherapy information, source, companies, products and services. It does this by bringing together lots of links to other sites, a kind of 'Google' for aromatherapy.
www.aromatherapy-regulation.org.uk
A professional group working on regulation of aromatherapy in the UK. Statutory regulation could have big implications for many aromatherapists, so worth dipping into every now and again. Now set up a register (fee payable) of aromatherapists which they hope will get 'official' recognition, and be the profession's contribution to self-regulation.
Aromatherapy Holidays
www.aroma-tours.com
An Australian company offering aromatic journeys worldwide. They sound lovely.
