NAHA COMPLAINT FORM

Complaints about a NAHA Member or School

 

The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the holistic integration and education of aromatherapy. NAHA’s Board of Directors handles complaints of ethics violations with the utmost seriousness. We do adhere to all relevant laws and regulations when evaluating complaints against members, which necessitates a thorough and time-consuming process.

 

If you have a complaint against a NAHA member or school, it must be submitted via our complaint form:

• If this is an intellectual property complaint, you must include a copy of your final judgment, legal documentation, and/or court order. (Please upload documents supporting your complaint on the next page.)

 

• NAHA does not monitor the social media interactions of its members. If an aggrieved party wishes NAHA's attention on matters regarding a breach of ethics by a member, you must submit a formal complaint.
