June Letter from the President

Greetings,    

I hope your summer is unfolding with moments of joy, discovery, renewal—along with a few aromatherapy learning moments as we continue sharpening the saw and deepening our knowledge together.

It’s Aromatherapy Awareness Week

As part of AIA’s 20th Founding Anniversary celebration, we’re giving back to our aromatherapy community with a special welcome offer: 20% off your first year of AIA membership when you sign up from June 8–14. This exclusive promotion is available for new members only, so if you have a friend who’s been thinking about joining the AIA community, now is the perfect time to invite them!

AIA Research Committee

This month, I would love to put the focus on our AIA Research Committee. Research plays a vital role in the mission of the Alliance of International Aromatherapists (AIA), as it helps strengthen the credibility, safety, and future of the aromatherapy profession. As the field continues to grow, evidence-based research is essential in deepening our understanding of essential oils, their therapeutic applications, proper usage, and safety considerations.
