About Asia-Pacific Aromatherapy

Our Journey
Asia-Pacific Aromatherapy was established in 1999 by Christine Saunders, now our Honorary Principal, with the vision of promoting the benefits of aromatherapy in Asia Pacific region  through the training of top quality professional aromatherapists.

The school offers the most comprehensive diploma course in Asia in both English and Chinese, and is the only one in Hong Kong that is accredited by and affiliated with three international governing bodies for aromatherapy, including the UK-based IFPA, the USA-based NAHA and the New Zealand-based NZROHA.

To date, the school has developed into a one-stop-shop offering not just a popular spectrum of introductory and diploma aromatherapy courses and workshops, but also holistic, nature-based therapies that aim to heal and revitalise.

To meet the soaring demand of our students and clients, we are also selling a vast selection of high quality essentials oils, carrier oils, synergies and related accessories that are usually available only to therapists in the field.

As an academy, we strive to keep ourselves abreast of the latest developments in the international research arena, and will never compromise on our standard of excellence for the sake of commercial advantage. We are trusted by our students and clients, and we grow alongside them.
