Eric Davis, BBA

Eric has served as NAHA's Treasurer since 2016, when he was invited to serve by the Board of Directors. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting and brings nearly a decade of consistent, reliable stewardship to the role. He was honored with NAHA's 2025 Exceptional Service Award alongside NAHA's International Relations Committee Head, Raghda Abdel Maksoud.

His contributions to NAHA extend beyond financial oversight. Eric leads the NAHA IT team, oversees ongoing enhancements to the association's website and member portal, serves on the Conference Committee, and has attended and helped coordinate every Biennial Conference since 2014. He has also developed financial reporting and tracking tools that strengthen NAHA's transparency and capacity for data-driven decision-making. He is happy to support NAHA's Board of Directors including his wife, Annette Davis, in any capacity needed. 

Eric's involvement in aromatherapy is clinical as well as organizational. Since 1991, he has studied Clinical Phyto-Aromatherapy and Endobiogeny under Dr. Jean-Claude Lapraz. He serves as CFO of Time Laboratories, a four-generation family botanical products company with over 50 years in the industry, and as CFO of the Endobiogenic Integrative Medical Center (EIMC). He has served on the boards of two additional holistic health organizations and brings that breadth of experience to every aspect of his NAHA service. He also contributed to the development of the Endobiogenic Medical Assistant (EMA) software, a specialized clinical tool designed to support integrative practitioners in applying Endobiogeny in real-world patient care - work that deepened his appreciation for the role that thoughtful technology plays in advancing the field.

Eric’s commitment to nonprofit service extends beyond aromatherapy. For 25 years, he served as a coach for the Portneuf Valley Soccer Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization. From 2015 to 2019, he also coached the Pocatello High School Girls’ Soccer team, with a particular focus on supporting underserved players who might not otherwise have had access to the sport. In 2019, he was honored to be named the Idaho 4A District 4–5 Girls’ Soccer Coach of the Year, a recognition he cherishes not for the title, but for what it represents: expanding opportunities for young people to be the best they can be while supporting the community he loves. He brings that same spirit to NAHA - showing up to work on whatever our organization and aromatherapy community needs.  

Sharon Louise Chapman, BA (Hons)

Sharon Chapman has served as NAHA Director Coordinator since 2018. She has also served as NAHA Director for Arizona since 2011. She has volunteered considerable hours first on the NAHA Aromatherapy Journal before being appointed Chief Editor in 2015, and at several NAHA conferences since 2016. She is the first to step in and support fellow directors, either officially or unofficially, when called to do so. 

One of Sharon’s greatest achievements in her role as Director Coordinator was to pivot and establish virtual monthly meetings during the challenges of the 2020 pandemic. It provided a vital sense of community, support, and direction to our team of directors, and subsequently NAHA members, during uncertain times. We’ve continued this vital support with monthly meetings, fostering community outreach, and sharing resources to continue elevating NAHA's level of benefits, services, and education. 

Personal and Professional Background 

Sharon’s personal journey into aromatherapy began in her early 30’s with the sudden death of her first husband.  Over the next two decades, it continued to support her through an emotionally abusive relationship and subsequent chronic health conditions.  

Sharon graduated with a BA (Hons) degree in Accounting and Business (UK) in the mid-90s and spent a decade working in UK government healthcare, advocating for vulnerable populations before her professional aromatherapy career began. 

Her professional path into aromatherapy began through clinical aromatherapy training with the Penny Price Academy of Aromatherapy in the UK in 2005. After relocating to the US, and founding Sedona Aromatics in 2007, her work has continued to evolve through education, plant studies, professional training in herbal medicine training, professional training in natural perfumery, distillation studies, writing, teaching, and mentorship.  

Sharon is the published author of the best-selling aromatherapy book, Authentic Aromatherapy, and an established writer and editor in the aromatherapy world, writing and consulting for many well-known names in the industry. She is also a botanical perfumer. 

Contributions to NAHA 

As Chief Editor and Designer of the NAHA Aromatherapy Journal since 2015, Sharon has had the privilege of helping shape a publication that has become a respected educational resource for practitioners, consumers, schools, and media worldwide. Coordinating writers, topics, content, design, and publication deadlines has strengthened her appreciation for collaboration, organization, and continuing education. She has been responsible for the publication of 50+ journal issues.  

Her experience in serving as NAHA’s Director Coordinator has given her a greater understanding of how good team leadership can enhance and support a growing organization, and all those within it. 

At the 2025 NAHA Beyond Aromatics conference, Sharon was awarded Vintage Aromatherapist alongside many of her colleagues. 

Aromatic Philanthropy 

During the pandemic of 2020, Sharon set up community scholarships for aromatherapy education through her business Sedona Aromatics. This set the stage for many years of support to an underserved population of aromatherapy beginners to gain a quality aromatherapy education. She has also continually offered payment plans for her more expensive aromatherapy programs, and gifted and donated her time on more than one occasion. 

Sharon’s strong belief is that quality aromatherapy education and materials should be available to all at an affordable price. NAHA offers this possibility, and she is proud to be an active member and volunteer who can contribute towards its future.
