Shirley and Len Price sold the College and Shirley Price Aromatherapy and retired in 1998. Many claim to be aromatherapy pioneers but few deserve this recognition more than Shirley and Len Price whose publications remain international bestsellers. It is a privilege to build on the foundation they laid.
