Aromatherapy Enthusiast Should Attend the NAHA Beyond Aromatics VI Conference

As an aromatherapist deeply rooted in both tradition and innovation, I can’t overstate the transformative power of gathering with peers and mentors in the aromatherapy world. That’s exactly what the NAHA (National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy) conference offers—an immersive experience where the fragrant world of essential oils comes alive through education, connection, and inspiration.

Honoring Our Aromatic Heritage

The 2025 conference—Beyond Aromatics VI: Honoring our Aromatic Heritage: Ancient Wisdom Meets Contemporary Science—is scheduled for October 23–25 in Tampa, Florida. As a Registered Aromatherapist and Cosmetic Formulator I love the theme of this years conference because it blends time-honored aromatherapy practices with modern insights to elevate our field.

Learn from Experts and Elevate Your Craft

At NAHA conferences, you’ll have the opportunity to attend numerous presentations delivered by seasoned authors, educators, and aromatherapy professionals which offers a rare chance to absorb objective, research-backed insights from experts in our field.

In-Person Speakers include the NAHA Board of Directors, Salvatore Battaglia, Valerie Cooksley, Annette Davis, Cathy Skipper, Florian Birkmayer, Marian Reven, Dr. Jessie Cavanaugh, Bevin Claire, Madeleine Kerkhof, Raghda Abdelmaksoud, Dr. Cecile Ellert, Angela Sidlo, Jonathan Ross, Xiaoya Gao, Dr. DorothyBelle Poli, Paula Begel, and Darla Dunn.

Connect, Share, Grow

There’s a kind of synergy that happens when like minds convene. NAHA gatherings foster authentic connection—not just through presentations, but also at exhibitor booths, social mixers, and casual conversations at mealtime and in the hallway. Whether you’re seeking further education, collaboration, mentorship, or just camaraderie, the NAHA conference is fertile ground for nourishing professional bonds.

Build Community and Inspiration

I’ve developed long lasting connections at past conferences while being inspired by workshops, impromptu idea exchanges, and discovered new essential oils along the way. For me, it is the fellowship—the collective passion for aromatherapy—that stays with me long after the event ends.

Whether you’re a seasoned clinical aromatherapist, a massage therapist integrating aromatherapy, a wellness-focused enthusiast, or a curious student, this conference has something for you. It’s thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are in your journey
