We have been sharing the therapeutic powers of essential oils for over 30 years. Starting out as therapists in the early 1970s, our founders, Geraldine Howard and Sue Beechey, connected with the emerging practice of aromatherapy.

Training under renowned aromatherapist Micheline Arcier, who had herself studied aromatherapy with its original pioneers Marguerite Maury and Jean Valnet M.D, they experienced first-hand the powerfully positive effects of essential oils on our physical and emotional wellbeing. It began
 a love affair with aromatherapy.

First Store Opens

In 1985, Geraldine and Sue's passion for teaching, practicing and blending oils spilled into a desire to share the benefits of aromatherapy with a wider audience. Aromatherapy Associates was born with a small range of therapeutic-grade products and treatments.

Modern Day

Fast forward to the 21st century. We continue to celebrate and share the wonders and benefits of essential oils with an ever-growing range of award-winning products and transformative treatments that can be found all over the world.

Keeper of our founder’s vision and the legacy of the brand, our Master Blender hand-crafts and individually tailors each new formula in our London laboratory, to create groundbreaking blends. Insisting on the highest concentrations of natural ingredients ensures that our formulations are the gold standard of essential oil blends, and a truly exceptional sensorial experience.

From day one, I always believed in creating blends with intent and purpose – to help individuals in pairing them with their perfect therapeutic blend.
