2010 COLLEGE PROSPECTUS
Principal Trainer Louise Carta MIFPA
Thank you for your interest in The Shirley Price International College of Aromatherapy
Courses which since 1978 have been recognised as the premier aromatherapy training in
the world of Aromatherapy. We train for the IFPA membership examination.
The title aromatherapist is not protected but IFPA membership or that of the IFA is
recognised as the minimum qualification for those intending to practice as aromatherapists in
hospital and hospice settings. The Shirley Price college can take students to IFPA
membership in 6 months concerted study which is the equivalent of the first year of a BSc
level course. Aromatherapy is however a practical art and much emphasis is placed on work
experience and case studies during your training. Finally you learn the business and
personal skills necessary to succeed as a professional.
The college has access to first class and economical training facilities.
We look forward to welcoming you to train with us to become a Professional Aromatherapist
Practitioner. You will join a family of over 5000 health and beauty professionals who have
trained with the Shirley Price staff. Many trainers and students have gone before and we are
grateful for the foundations laid, particularly by our finders Len and Shirley Price. It is a
particular pleasure when students return as master practicioners like Celia Johnson and Kim
Menzies to teach and inspire a new generation to reach their professional standards and
commitment.
Each year students from all over the world join us to train and work in our factory. Welcome
to Sp. It is a pleasure to see such an active uptake of our distance learning materials and
course. We look forward to meeting students old and new very soon!
Aromatherapy will always have to justify its place in a world of scare resources. That depends
crucially on the experience of the public in dealing with qualified aromatherapy practioners in
their communities worldwide.

What we can offer you
At Shirley Price Aromatherapy we are dedicated & committed to the fascinating world of
clinical Essential Oil knowledge and Massage. The sense of touch and smell simply belong
together.
Essential Oils & Massage
We believe that incorporating beneficial massage techniques, client evaluation & safe use will
give you the confidence & knowledge to be able to treat the whole mind, body & spirit for
maximum benefit. There is also documented research studies which prove this to be true.
Please read the sections relating to Essential Oils & Massage further on.
Tutors & Staff
The Shirley Price staff & Tutors are passionate about Aromatherapy and passing their
knowledge to Students to become successful Aromatherapist Practioner. We are here to help
you during training and beyond.
As well as being fully qualified Aromatherapist Practioners & Professionals', we have a wealth
of experience.
Our Products
As members of the Soil Association we are committed to using the finest ingredients available
in our Shirley Price Professional Aromatherapy and Essentia organic Skincare and base
beauty products range. We use only the very best and this has grown over the years into a
comprehensive catalog and professional supply chain. Shirley Price Essential Oils are the
finest available and are sourced directly from leading distiller cooperatives of farmers and
growers from all over the world. This is incredibly important as you will find out when studying
with us as many Essential Oils available for sale on the common market place can be of
lesser quality & in some cases adulterated which will sacrifice their natural therapeutic
properties and aromas.
We have a small is beautiful policy and positively encourage small distillers and small
distributors become established. At the same time the scale and efficiency of Amazon means
Shirley Price Organic essential oils are available with free next day delivery.
Only three essential oils Ravensara, Rosemary verbone and Helichrysum are not used in
flavouring and fragrances which need standardised oils. Great care much be taken to
ensure it is the whole oil which is worked with as the properties of essential oils, particularly
those of use in clinical aromatherapy, may depend on the minor constituents of the oils. If it
were otherwise Aromatherapy would be a much simpler matter of using synthetic oils.
Our Training Aids
Shirley Price’s books are key texts from introductory aromatherapy courses and self help to
BSc level courses in Complementary therapies. Our training course manuals are
comprehensive, easy to follow & visually interesting. The course notes will be an invaluable
source of re-assurance during training & become a valuable reference tool post qualification.
Please note Shirley Price’s publications and training notes are the property of the Shirley
Price International College of Aromatherapy and subject to copyright.
We make tea infusions using some of the herbs & plants covered on the modules, we
examine the botanicals in their raw form from plants, trees, flowers, fruits & grasses.
It isn't just these things that make our courses what they are. We look after you from the
moment you join us. We are here for support & advice during and after your training.
The Shirley Price blog keeps you informed about latest news, new products, CPD's & feature
topics.
What will you achieve from our courses
Our courses will provide you with Professional Aromatherapy theory knowledge & practical
application training. Upon completion of module 4 & after passing the examinations you will
gain you a Diploma as a Professional Aromatherapist Practitioner. This will mean you are
qualified to offer Aromatherapy Treatments & Aromatherapy Products to clients. You will be

Introduction to Aromatherapy knowledge
Aromatherapy is the skilled knowledge & use of aromatic Essential Oils. The Oils are
extracted from living volatile botanical plants.
Essential oils contain therapeutic properties for treating psychological & physical wellness of
the mind, body & spirit.
• Essential oils promote natural health & well being by encouraging the body to be
balanced & preventing illness in a completely pure & natural way.
• Aromatherapy is a form of herbalism which records show dates back to beyond BC in
scriptures & cave paintings. Think of mummification in the Egyptians and the use of Essential
Oils to aid preservation & deterioration.
• Essential Oils enter the blood stream & are transported throughout the body via the
skin & respiratory system so only a very small amount is needed to absorb the therapeutic
beneficial properties and promote balance
Introduction to the benefits of Massage
Massage therapy promotes relaxation and provides physical relief of physical & physiological
stresses & strains by reducing the heart rate and promoting muscles to relax increasing the
uptake of oxygen to encourage repair & skin renewal. There are many benefits to massage
therapy, including physical, emotional, and physiological improvements in the body. Massage
encourages emotional tension to ease as the muscles are kneaded & allowed to relax.
There is evidence from various university studies that massage can improve a range of
movement, posture, balance & lifts the mood. A study carried out on dancers showed that
they performed better and felt happier after a series of massages.
Massage can also improve immunity as counts increase in white blood cells and neutrophil
which fight infection & disease. Scientists believe that massage can trigger the release of
certain chemicals in the body which help to fight illness and promote recovery.
Examples of physical benefits
Reduces lower back pain and other bodily aches.
Helps sooth infants and promotes digestion.
Increases range of motion in joints.
Decreases illness-related fatigue.
Improves skin tone & skin conditions
Calms aggressive behaviors.
Decreases depression and helps to promote a healthy mind.
Helps your immunity by increasing white blood cell counts.
Improves recovery after post-operative surgery.
Alleviates age-related disorders, sleep disorders, and many more emotional and
physical problems.
We hope this will help you to see how naturally & clinically the powerful & beneficial the
combination of Pure Essential Oils & Massage.

Thank you for your interest in The Shirley Price International College of Aromatherapy
Courses which since 1978 have been recognised as the premier aromatherapy training in

recognised as the minimum qualification for those intending to practice as aromatherapists in
hospital and hospice settings. The Shirley Price college can take students to IFPA
membership in 6 months concerted study which is the equivalent of the first year of a BSc

experience and case studies during your training. Finally you learn the business and
personal skills necessary to succeed as a professional.
The college has access to first class and economical training facilities.
We look forward to welcoming you to train with us to become a Professional Aromatherapist

particular pleasure when students return as master practicioners like Celia Johnson and Kim
Menzies to teach and inspire a new generation to reach their professional standards and
commitment.
Each year students from all over the world join us to train and work in our factory. Welcome
to Sp. It is a pleasure to see such an active uptake of our distance learning materials and

What we can offer you
At Shirley Price Aromatherapy we are dedicated & committed to the fascinating world of
clinical Essential Oil knowledge and Massage. The sense of touch and smell simply belong
together.
Essential Oils & Massage
We believe that incorporating beneficial massage techniques, client evaluation & safe use will
give you the confidence & knowledge to be able to treat the whole mind, body & spirit for
maximum benefit. There is also documented research studies which prove this to be true.
Please read the sections relating to Essential Oils & Massage further on.
Tutors & Staff
The Shirley Price staff & Tutors are passionate about Aromatherapy and passing their
knowledge to Students to become successful Aromatherapist Practioner. We are here to help
you during training and beyond.
As well as being fully qualified Aromatherapist Practioners & Professionals', we have a wealth
of experience.
Our Products
As members of the Soil Association we are committed to using the finest ingredients available
in our Shirley Price Professional Aromatherapy and Essentia organic Skincare and base
beauty products range. We use only the very best and this has grown over the years into a
comprehensive catalog and professional supply chain. Shirley Price Essential Oils are the
finest available and are sourced directly from leading distiller cooperatives of farmers and
growers from all over the world. This is incredibly important as you will find out when studying
with us as many Essential Oils available for sale on the common market place can be of
lesser quality & in some cases adulterated which will sacrifice their natural therapeutic
properties and aromas.
We have a small is beautiful policy and positively encourage small distillers and small
distributors become established. At the same time the scale and efficiency of Amazon means
Shirley Price Organic essential oils are available with free next day delivery.
Only three essential oils Ravensara, Rosemary verbone and Helichrysum are not used in
flavouring and fragrances which need standardised oils. Great care much be taken to
ensure it is the whole oil which is worked with as the properties of essential oils, particularly
those of use in clinical aromatherapy, may depend on the minor constituents of the oils. If it
were otherwise Aromatherapy would be a much simpler matter of using synthetic oils.
Our Training Aids
Shirley Price’s books are key texts from introductory aromatherapy courses and self help to
BSc level courses in Complementary therapies. Our training course manuals are
comprehensive, easy to follow & visually interesting. The course notes will be an invaluable
source of re-assurance during training & become a valuable reference tool post qualification.
Please note Shirley Price’s publications and training notes are the property of the Shirley
Price International College of Aromatherapy and subject to copyright.
We make tea infusions using some of the herbs & plants covered on the modules, we
examine the botanicals in their raw form from plants, trees, flowers, fruits & grasses.
It isn't just these things that make our courses what they are. We look after you from the
moment you join us. We are here for support & advice during and after your training.
The Shirley Price blog keeps you informed about latest news, new products, CPD's & feature
topics.
What will you achieve from our courses
Our courses will provide you with Professional Aromatherapy theory knowledge & practical
application training. Upon completion of module 4 & after passing the examinations you will
gain you a Diploma as a Professional Aromatherapist Practitioner. This will mean you are
qualified to offer Aromatherapy Treatments & Aromatherapy Products to clients. You will be
qualified to work as a qualified Aromatherapist Practitioner in a beauty, natural therapy clinic
or set up your own business.

Introduction to Aromatherapy knowledge
Aromatherapy is the skilled knowledge & use of aromatic Essential Oils. The Oils are
extracted from living volatile botanical plants.
Essential oils contain therapeutic properties for treating psychological & physical wellness of
the mind, body & spirit.
• Essential oils promote natural health & well being by encouraging the body to be
balanced & preventing illness in a completely pure & natural way.
• Aromatherapy is a form of herbalism which records show dates back to beyond BC in
scriptures & cave paintings. Think of mummification in the Egyptians and the use of Essential
Oils to aid preservation & deterioration.
• Essential Oils enter the blood stream & are transported throughout the body via the
skin & respiratory system so only a very small amount is needed to absorb the therapeutic
beneficial properties and promote balance
Introduction to the benefits of Massage
Massage therapy promotes relaxation and provides physical relief of physical & physiological
stresses & strains by reducing the heart rate and promoting muscles to relax increasing the
uptake of oxygen to encourage repair & skin renewal. There are many benefits to massage
therapy, including physical, emotional, and physiological improvements in the body. Massage
encourages emotional tension to ease as the muscles are kneaded & allowed to relax.
There is evidence from various university studies that massage can improve a range of
movement, posture, balance & lifts the mood. A study carried out on dancers showed that
they performed better and felt happier after a series of massages.
Massage can also improve immunity as counts increase in white blood cells and neutrophil
which fight infection & disease. Scientists believe that massage can trigger the release of
certain chemicals in the body which help to fight illness and promote recovery.
Examples of physical benefits
Reduces lower back pain and other bodily aches.
Helps sooth infants and promotes digestion.
Increases range of motion in joints.
Decreases illness-related fatigue.
Improves skin tone & skin conditions
Calms aggressive behaviors.
Decreases depression and helps to promote a healthy mind.
Helps your immunity by increasing white blood cell counts.
Improves recovery after post-operative surgery.
Alleviates age-related disorders, sleep disorders, and many more emotional and
physical problems.
We hope this will help you to see how naturally & clinically the powerful & beneficial the
combination of Pure Essential Oils & Massage.
