SHIRLEY PRICE AROMATHERAPY LTD                 WORLDWIDE EXPERTS IN
AROMATHERAPY SINCE 1974     SHIRLEY PRICE INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF
AROMATHERAPY      
Shirley Price
Aromatherapy
specialise in
organic oils.  We
offer the core 35
oils with the
precious oils in
1ml bottles for just
£99 to students.

Harvest

Another harvest is past.  Lorella
and Stefano have been hard at
work on the Sp Lavender in
Tuscany.  Why do we put such
effort into the lavender?

Lavender and eczema

Lavender Oil is so important to
us because therapists use
Lavender Oil 1% as the first line
of treatment for eczema.  
Lavender water too is important
in eczema treatment particularly
if a patch test reveals skin
sensitivity to the oil.  Then the
distilled water or hydrolat can be
used.

Therapists use eczema cream
applied morning and night.  This
also contains Allantoin which is
excellent for skin repair.

The oils we recommend for
eczema can be used with our
silky bath base for the bath and
our white vegetable lotion for
massage.

Here is the Sp essential oil list

Product Guide

A business is only as good as its
suppliers and maintaining the
health and effectiveness of this
supply chain is a vital part of my
job.  Sp's reputation as one of
the top three international
essential oil brands has taken
many years to establish.

Aromatherapy requires the
efforts of hundreds of suppliers
to end up with the oils in their
little bottles.

Keeping track of the technical
information is a vital part of the
business.  All our oil purchases
and sales are reviewed by Soil
Association Inspectors as part of
the accreditation process.  We
specialise in organic oils.

2011 Product Data Sheets

Our policy is to use packaging
suppliers local to the Hinckley
area.

With over a thousand products
graphic design of the labels is
quite a challenge and we use a
nuber of designers and artists.  
Digital labels are economic for
short runs of 1000 per item and
we commission 100,000 labels
runs from our litho printer.

Leaflets and posters also have
to be of the highest standards of
graphic design

Our cardboard boxes are
designed to transport 12x 100ml
bottles conveniently and safely.  

We also have convenient
transport/shelf display units for
the 10ml and 15ml oils in their
individual barcoded  boxes,

Its about the aromatherapy


There are workshops running in the
factory and we have accreditation
visits from IFPA and the FHT who
accredit the aromatherapy diploma
distance learning, 4 module taught
diploma, courses and CPD.

Aromatherapy Practicioner Diploma
Module three runs 20-25th July

This year the course has attracted
students from Korean and China.

Who have we trained?

6000 students have passed the
diploma.  Many nurses and midwives
trained with the tutors and staff of
Shirley Price Aromatherapy Ltd in the
1990s.  A similar training of thousands
of nurses and midwives took place in
the USA in the 2000s led by RJ Buckle

Who are the tutors?

This year we have attended

Talking through the oils face to face
with our customers and I wish I could
do it all the time!

Trade Associations

We are active in IFPA, the FHT, Soil
Association and ATC. We are
committed to the highest professional
standards.

Visits

I get away each quarter to visit
customers, distributors and train
myself.  I am looking forward to Robert
Tisserand's seminar in Miami in
October.  See you there!

I visited Italy in February to meet a
customer in Rome and the growers.

I had a great visit to the distributors
Beijing, Seoul and Shanghai in June.  
Lots of aromatherapy progress out
there

Staff

The Shirley Price Aromatherapy
college is led by Sara Gelzer MIFPA

MIFPA (aromatherapy diploma) both
have tutored for Shirley Price
Aromatherapy for many years.
Many of the College alumni are
authors, tutors, practicioners, and its
great that they return to teach and
support the college and company.

Factory staff

BS  Mrs R Jaspal.  We have great faith
in the company, its customers,
suppliers and staff.

Former staff

Too many to mention but a special
mention for those I have known and
best of luck in your endeavours and
retirements.


Former owners

Shirley Price Aromatherapy passed
into the hands of professional
investors and became part of a
venture capital backed group in 1998.
From 2001-9 Sp was owned by an
Iranian investor.

Who founded the Company?

Shirley Price.  She built the company
to 30 employees.  In 1998 she retired
and sold the company, her product
recipes, training college and
trademarks including Shirley Price
Aromatherapy.  We wish her well in her
retirement.  Now aged 80 she is still
active seeing her friends and an
advertisement for the vitality of her
products.

Is Shirley Price herself involved?

No she is retired but her daughter
Penny Stevens has her own
aromatherapy business in Hinckley
and son Matthew Price a publishing
business.  Matthew continues to
publish the IFPA magazine 'In Essence'.

Will you change the name of the
company?

After 37 years its a bit late now!  The
product recipes are Shirley Price's own
and have brought relief from common
ailments to hundreds of thousands of
people. Many people worldwide just
call the company Sp after the Sp leaf
and use the Lothian Herbs and
Essentia brand products too.  

Books

The books Shirley Price has left are an
important part of the aromatherapy
story.

Welcome to Sp.  
Our aims are sustainablility
and purity of our oils where
possible by exclusive or
cooperative contract.

I and the Sp staff work hard
to sustain the Shirley Price
Aromatherapy Diploma and
the ISPA Annual Authors
Dinner in Warwick
through education and effort for
the future so as to bring you the very finest pure
essential oils and training in their use.

We are constantly working to increase our knowledge
and support educational initiatives by aromatherapy
authors.

Our main aims are the conservation of the system of
training in aromatherapy, holistic skincare and
reflexology developed by Shirley Price and followed by
the 6000 alumni of the Shirley Price international
College of Aromatherapy ('SPICA').  Education of
students is led by alumni of the college who are now
themselves leading educators, authors and
practitioners in their own right.
