The Raindrop Association of Australia (RAA) is a non-profit organization. We offer Professional Level training in the safe and sensible application of Raindrop Technique (and associated skills and modalities), upholding the core principles of Raindrop Technique as taught by its founder, D. Gary Young, N.D.

These trainings help participants reach a level of proficiency and confidence enabling them to gain insurance cover through OAMPS insurance brokers, for performing Raindrop Technique at a professional level.

The committee of The Raindrop Association of Australia comprises Young Living members, whose vision is to educate others in the quality and application of Young Living’s essential oils through RAA. This vision encompasses the entire Young Living family and their contacts – regardless of team, or country. Everyone is welcome to attend our trainings, or become one of our trainers.

Whilst all of our trainings are conducted with a high level of professionalism, they are in no way associated with the company Young Living Essential Oils (except that all trainings advocate the use of Young Living’s essential oils, because of the quality of these oils).

Surplus funds generated from RAA workshops are put towards all-media advertising and promotions which increase public awareness of Raindrop Technique (in the country in which those profits are generated). A proportion of profits are also tithed to projects which increase the knowledge of essential oils and their application.


RAA is dedicated to continually improving the quality of delivery of Raindrop Technique via the ongoing training of individuals who have demonstrated an acceptable standard of competency.

Our deepest appreciation goes to D. Gary Young, N.D. for the creation and inspiration behind Raindrop Technique, and to Young Living for their dedication and research that makes such superb oils available for us all to use.

We would also like to express our heart-felt gratitude to: Artemis, Simon Elderfield, Ariel and Noel Cunnington for their ongoing contribution to the development of the material in our courses, and to Will Halterman and Dr. David Hill (D.C.) for their support and feedback on our manuals. We also wish to thank Dr. David Stewart (PhD) for his valuable assistance in gaining insurance cover for Raindrop Technique.

Our gratitude also goes to Robyn Simon, Kirsten Hartley, Riga Walsh, Soraya Saraswati, Suzie Donkin and Catherine Garro for their expert input to our understanding of Raindrop Technique – this was integral in us distilling the “core principles” of Raindrop Technique.
