Featured Event:
Breathe, Blend, Become: Elevating Aromatherapy Through Breathwork
This month, we’re exploring how applied breathwork can transform your aromatherapy practice. From improving client results to enhancing your own focus and resilience, breath is the bridge between essential oils and the body’s healing intelligence. Don’t miss our upcoming Breathwork for Aromatherapists CE Event on September 27–28, 2025. There’s still time to register — and participants will receive an exclusive aromatherapy kit in the mail.
A Fresh Look for CAOA
New Website!
We’re excited to share CAOA’s brand-new website, created in collaboration with Lesia Design & Digital, a Canadian expert in Squarespace web development. Our new site is easy to use, professional, and welcoming to both members and the public. The updated logo and graphic design capture our values of professionalism, safety, and community while giving CAOA a fresh, modern look.
We invite you to explore the site, check out the new features, and let us know what you think. Your feedback helps us continue to grow and serve the aromatherapy community across Canada.
Registered Aromatherapist® Badge Has Arrived
The new RA® badge logo is here! Also designed by Lesia, we’ve begun sending it to all Registered Aromatherapists® across Canada — a proud symbol of excellence, professionalism, and dedication to safe, effective aromatherapy.
Boreal Blend Journal – Your Feedback Welcome
Our latest issue of the Boreal Blend Journal has been delivered — digitally for all members and in print for our RAs. We’re already planning our January 2026 edition, and we’d love to hear your feedback to make it even better. Did you find the hidden beaver tucked away in the pages?
CFA Partner Webinar – September 29, 2025
As a CAOA member, you have partner membership with the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists (CFA) — which means you can attend their upcoming webinar with Dr. Joy Bowles at no cost. Mark your calendars!
