Penny Price

Penny has a background in aromatherapy that is not available to many: she witnessed her mother and father work to get both the therapy, and the training for it, established in the UK.

A therapist herself for 25 years, Penny is still at the cutting edge of developing aromatherapy - in its practice, its developing curriculum and in how it is taught. She holds the only research degree in aromatherapy awarded by Oxford University and is in demand as a lecturer and teacher in the UK and abroad.

Penny's commitment to quality in both product and training was the driving force in her establishing Penny Price Aromatherapy Ltd and the Penny Price Academy. At the present time, Penny has three schools in the UK, plus a smaller school in Walsall Hospice. Abroad, there are satellite schools in Japan, Taiwan, Cyprus, Sri Lanka, Australia, Norway and the USA. The distribution network has also grown and apart from countries where there is a school, Penny also has distributors in Greece, Korea and Brazil. Penny’s unfailing drive and energy is the force behind the success of the business.

Penny is much sought after to lecture in aromatherapy around the world. In 2007 alone she has travelled to Greece, Germany, Sri Lanka, Spain and Taiwan.

Penny is married to Dr Robert Stephen, who alongside being a teacher and a priest in the Church of England, is CEO of the business and also teaches aspects of aromatherapy. Together they have eight children.
