Aromahead Institute continues to champion the values and education standards upheld by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA).

NAHA, a globally recognized and esteemed aromatherapy organization, sets the bar high for essential oil education, making its approval a crucial benchmark for any aromatherapy school intending to offer a certification program. Approval from NAHA indicates not only an institution's commitment to comprehensive education but also its' grounding in scientific research and study.

Reflecting back to the establishment of Aromahead Institute in 1998, achieving NAHA approval was a major milestone and a testament to our dedication to providing our students with the highest quality of education. Our subsequent celebration marked the start of a profound journey, where success followed success. . .

Fast forward to today, and we're not only beyond excited but also incredibly proud to announce our ongoing commitment to excellence: Aromahead Institute retains its distinguished status as an officially recognized NAHA Level 3 School!

Especially those who want to become Clinical Aromatherapists.

This achievement is particularly momentous for those of our students aspiring to become Clinical Aromatherapists. Being a Level 3 School signifies that the combined coursework of Aromahead Institute's Aromatherapy Certification Program (ACP) and Advanced Graduate Program exceeds the 300+ hours of education that NAHA necessitates for Certified Clinical Aromatherapist candidates.

We have met and surpassed so many goals—including being a NAHA Level 3 School!

I feel so proud, humbled, and grateful to be on this journey with all of you.

Throughout our history, Aromahead has consistently prioritized a high standard of essential oil education. Our learning environment fosters a sense of community that is vibrant, dynamic, and nurturing. All classes are rooted in science, research, and practical experience, ensuring students gain a deep understanding of therapeutic properties, safety protocols, and even chemistry related to essential oils.

In the fast-evolving world of essential oils, we stay abreast of current research, regularly updating our courses with the latest findings. Our dedication to equipping our students for success, as per their individual definitions, remains unwavering.

Whether your ambition is to start an aromatherapy business, work as a consultant, write a blog, or simply use essential oils for personal care and well-being, Aromahead is committed to providing a robust foundation for you to build upon.

And for those who dream of becoming a fully Certified Aromatherapist or Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, your journey can commence right here at Aromahead!

I am so proud of the way that Aromahead sets our students up for success—whatever "success" means for them.

Maybe you want to become a fully Certified Aromatherapist or Certified Clinical Aromatherapist.

We will support you every step of the way!

I loved the entire Aromatherapy Certification Program, and learned so much. It has helped me with product development, and knowing that what I am creating is at a safe dilution (and not phototoxic, for example). The chemistry and science that we learned in the course has given me so much more diversity in 'reading' an essential oil, and now I'm much more clued up on how to work out substitutes, what components are helpful for what ailments, and which oils are the best for skincare in general."
