Our college The Shirley Price International
College of Aromatherapy was founded by
Shirley Price in 1978.
Any college is judged not just by its students
but the commitment to research and publication
by the tutors and principals. The Shirley Price
International College of Aromatherapy has
made an outstanding contribution in this regard.
History. Margaret Maury and her husband is
credited with many advances in aromatherapy.
Her students Danielle Ryman, Eve Taylor and
Shirley Price continued this progress at a time
when the limitations of western chemotherapy
and the need to preserve the value of
antibiotics were becoming more apparent. At
the same time there was a wakening to the
traditional health practices of China and
reawakening of a long history of traditional
practice involving plant derived material in
europe.
Plants face the same health challenges humans
do and the most successful are the aromatic
plants which use an array of organic chemical
agents to maintain their health.
Len and Shirley Price were not only authors
they worked hard to raise international
aromatherapy to the reputable standing of a
profession capable of working with modern
healthcare systems in a consistent and scientific
way.
They formed important working relationships
with other researchers and medical
practicioners who contributed to their
publications.
The Founders of Sp were also co-founders of
the Aromatherapy Trades Council and the
International Federation of Professional
Aromatherapists.
Shirley and Len Price sold the College and Sp
business in 1998 and retired. They continue to
edit and revise their best selling international
publications and support their daughter Penny's
training business formed in 2003.
The Price family were until 2008 the College and
Sp's landlords. There is now no connection with
the Price family.
To Sp were added Lothian Herbs, the leading
organic brand, an early Soil Association licensee
and the Essentia Skin Care Range has been
expanded and updated to become SLS and
Parabens Free. A new generation of students
have passed through the college and in turn
become master practicioners in their own right.
The Sp brand has come to be a symbol of
natural product quality in 40 countries around
the world. Users of the chinese internet selling
site Taobao awards Sp products 5 STARS. A
better rating than Boots, Neals Yard and
BodyShop products which are also well
regarded.
It is a pleasure to build on the foundations the
Price family and subsequent owners laid of the
toughest standards in aromatherapy training
with essential oils of the very highest organic
quality.
Today SP remains a family business with friends
and relations among the workforce some of
whom have 20 years service.
The Shirley Price International College of
Aromatherapy is led by Louise Carta.

They will gain insight into the use and interpretation of common tests used in conventional medicine, and they will explore the role of nutrition and the therapeutic relationship. The dissertation will ensure that student have a good understanding of the relationship between complementary and conventional medicine so they will be able to play an important role in integration.
Specific learning methods will include interactive lectures, reflective discussion, group work, demonstrations and lab work, audio-visual presentations, tutorials, peer support and review, group activities with presentations, observation and reflection on practice and independent study. The majority of modules at level 6 are delivered by distance or blended learning (distance learning with master classes) to accommodate practitioners who are working or running a clinical practice. However, there are options which are practice-based and require attendance at TVU.

Nutrition and Supplements
Dr Marilyn Glenville is one of the leading nutritionalists
working in the UK today.
She has written many books including Fat around the
middle which has been translated into several languages.
So what can you do to get rid of the fat around your middle?
I have devised a four pronged approach to getting rid of
this dangerous and unsightly fat. It comprises simple
changes to the way you:
1) eat
2) take supplements
3) approach stress
4) take exercise
If you follow my recommendations closely for three months I
am convinced you will see a significant change to your
body shape, and as a consequence, will dramatically
improve your long term health.
Eating healthily – NOT dieting!
There is a chance that your pattern of eating is
subconsciously telling your body that it is under stress. If
you restrict your diet or cut calories your body inevitably
thinks there is a famine out there and that causes stress. It
will slow down your metabolism to hold on to your precious
fat stores. Furthermore, if your blood sugar levels fluctuate
(as they do for most women), your body will be releasing
adrenaline which is the same hormone it releases when
you are under stress. Once more it encourages your body
to store fat.
The solution is to find a way of eating that tells your body
all is well –and reassure it that is not under stress.

SP SAFETY INFORMATION LEAFLET
SHIRLEY PRICE 100% NATURAL 100% ORGANIC
USING ESSENTIAL OILS
Use for massage, bathing, vapourisation or inhalation. Both thousands of years of
experience and modern research on essential oils shows they can be used therapeutically to
enhance wellbeing or purely for pleasure or emotional release.
MASSAGE Favoured by the ancient Greeks and Romans there is nothing quite like a
massage to make you feel soothed or energised. Pure essential oils should not be applied
directly to the skin, they need to be diluted first. To do this, mix up to 5 drops of pure
essential oil, or blend of oils, per 1Ornls (one tablespoon) of jojoba, coconut or vegetable
carrier oil or SP white lotion blending base.
BATHING Bathing with pure essential oils is one of the easiest and most enjoyable forms of
therapy. Just before getting into a full bath, add 3-5 drops of essential oil, or blend of oils,
then agitate the water to disperse. While you relax in the bath, a small amount of oil is
absorbed by the skin and the rest is slowly evaporated by the heat of the water.
VAPORISATION The evaporative properties of pure essential oils make them ideal for use in
a vaporiser. To create the ambience of your choice, simply add 6-12 drops of essential oil to
your favourite Shirley Price vaporiser, burner, aromstone, aromastream or mini vaporiser -
perfect for the home or workplace.
INHALATION Some pure essential oils, such as eucalyptus with its wonderful clearing
properties, are ideal for inhalation. Add 3-5 drops of pure essential oil to a bowl of very hot
water (not boiling) and inhale the vapour for 5-10 minutes. If this method is not convenient,
simply add 1-2 drops of essential oil to a tissue and inhale ideal if you are out and about.
To achieve the results described in the textbooks it is necessary to use true whole oils as
they may depend for their action on constituents present in minute proportions in the oils
rather than the headline constituents. Shirley Price essential oils are true undiluted
essences extracted directly from a variety of herbs, spices, flowers, trees and resins.
Sometimes hundreds of flowers are needed to produce just one drop of essential oil. Being
highly concentrated, it is important not to exceed the number of recommended drops.
Essential oils should never be taken internally without seeking the advice of a professional
practitioner. With all essential oils, even when diluted, contact with sensitive areas such as
the eyes should be avoided. If however oil does get into the eyes, wash them immediately
with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Of the pure essential oils detailed in this
leaflet, bergamot should not be used before exposure to the sun or a sunbed. Lemongrass
and tea-tree should not be used on children under two years old or on sensitive skin.
BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN
Aromatherapy can be applied to young children, who respond very well to massage.
However, not all pure essential oils are suitable, so it is important to check first. When
massaging children under 6 years old, no more than 2 drops of essential oil per 10mls (one
tablespoon) of vegetable oil or lotion blending base should be used, and no more than 2
drops of essential oil should be added to their bath or vaporiser. Essential oils, even when
diluted, should be used with caution on children under two years old. All pure essential oils
should be kept out of reach of children. If a child accidentally swallows any essential oil, seek
urgent medical attention.
Our pure oil of Jojoba sourced directly from Argentine plantations is ideal for baby massage
and daily care of baby, sensitive and older skin for in moisturising and anti inflammatory
properties.
If you have a skin condition, are pregnant, have epilepsy or asthma, are on a course of
treatment with prescribed medication, or are in any doubt about any condition you may
have, it is important that you seek the advice of a doctor or suitable practitioner before using
pure essential oils. The Shirley Price International College of Aromatherapy has trained
more professional aromatherapists for membership if the International Federation of
Professional Aromatherapists than any other IFPA accredited college.
Avoid essential oils coming into contact with polished, painted or plastic surfaces. As
essential oils are flammable, care should be taken with naked flames. Essential oils are best
stored away from heat or light (fridge storage will help to prolong the life of your oils). They
should be used within 1 year of opening.
ORGANIC
Where possible SP oils, creams and lotions are made with ingredients approved by the Soil
Association (UK) and Ecocert (France). Certified organic essential oils are derived from
plants that have been grown without the use of man-made fertilisers, herbicides or
pesticides -instead using ecosystem management methods to maintain the health of both
plant and soil. The SP leaf is recognised by consumers in 40 countries worldwide as a sign
of Essential Oil, Carriers, Care For aromatherapy products and Hydrolats of the highest
quality. All our 115 oils that can be are organic standard and equally importantly are freshly
distilled by trusted and certified distiller/growers. We offer 7 conventionally grown oils as
alternatives.
With organic agriculture there are no inputs such as genetic modification or irradiation. The
benefits of organic agriculture include no pollution of the local air or groundwater and no
toxic chemicals in the plant or its essential oil, meanwhile maintaining the viability of the local
environment and wildlife.
WILD CRAFTED
Wild crafted essential oils are derived from plants that are not cultivated, but are gathered
from their natural, wild habitat. Although they are ~ot orga~ic,
they will not have been contaminated by synthetic chemicals (pesticides, fertilisers etc.) and
will be growing in conditions favourable to the health of the plant. When wildcrafting is done
sustainably, a plan for harvesting must show that the harvest will sustain the wild crop.
ETHICALLY HARVESTED
This denotes sustainable cultivation. An ethically harvested essential oil is derived from a
herb, shrub or tree that is not harvested so aggressively that the species becomes depleted.
As far as aromatic plants are concerned, species depletion is only rarely a problem with
herbs (which are mostly easy to grow in quantity) but tends to be more of an issue with
slow~growing trees.

My own front door with purple spikes of
lavender and rosemary greeting visitors.
The English have many sayings about
Rosemary. One is that it is the womans plant
and will flourish in the garden where the woman
is the ruler of the house. Where men were
concerned by the impression of their manhood
that flourishing rosemary bushes would give to
their neighbours they would see to it that that
the rosemary didnt do too well.
I will let you judge who is the ruler of our
home!! Rosemary is the symbol of
remembrance and therefore of friendship

Luck they say is when preparation meets
opportunity. We recommend this book to our
students preparing for IFPA membership and the
wider world beyond. What shines through is both the
compassion and practicality of the writers which no
successful therapist can be without.

According to the National Pharmacy Association
pharmacists save the UK's NHS some £400m a year
by advising on Common Ailments which are non
medical conditions. We recommend this book to our
worldwide stockists and pharmacists preparing for
their exams. The Shirley Price style is simple to
understand and open.
Training has always made all the difference to
Shirley Price. Now enjoying their well earned
retirement in Southern France Shirley and Len
Price can take considerable pride from the fact that
their approach and publications remain of use to

bestsellers.

Slimming. We could call it nutrition but what we
really mean is slimming. Overweight is the biggest
health challenge western society faces and its
getting worse. We recommend this book to our
students and stockists. Embarrassing in youth it can
be debilitating and fatal to enjoyment of an active
middle and older age. Marion Glenville has issued
both a wakeup call and a guide for action with this
ground breaking book. Find out more.
