International Federation of Aromatherapists
As a member of the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA) you can take advantage of an insurance policy which has been specifically designed for the federation to offer comprehensive cover for you, your business, and your clients.
You should find everything here that you need to deal with your own therapist’s insurance. However, if you have any questions which are not covered, or would like to talk to someone about a particular subject, please contact Tom or his team – we would love to hear from you.
If you’re not a member of the IFA, please call us to enquire about other therapists insurance cover.
