About - The Institute of Integrative Aromatherapy

Integrative Aromatherapy^TM is a specialized professional training taught by Valerie Cooksley/IIA and is not any training that you can receive in a medical, nursing or traditional academia. It is integrating all aspects of essential oil use, from all areas of study, into a comprehensive, effective and holistic methodology in which to practice the art, science and bio-energetics of aromatherapy for today's challenges. Integrative aromatherapy is dynamic and part of a living system - a microcosm of the macrocosm.

However, Integrative Aromatherapy� is based not only on holism theory, but on practical application and specialized techniques for the bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects of the individual and community.
