Aromatherapy

"There's something very special going on there!"

What is it?

My journey into the realms of aromatherapy started long before my qualification. And it was the discovery of essential oils that gave me my very first insight into this wonderful, alternative 'natural medicine chest'.


Pure essential oils are extracted directly from the plants themselves and used either singly or in combination. They offer an extraordinary range of properties historically employed to promote physical and emotional health. I source only the finest quality oils for use, and organically wherever possible.



The art of aromatherapy dates back more than 8,000 years and under Consultation* is suitable for all ages and sectors of the community.


What can I expect from a session?

Aromatherapy for humans is most often incorporated with Massage. The techniques I use include a full range of strokes and pressure to complement the individual client, their selected oils and the desired outcome. 



Oils are assimilated into the bloodstream by the body via either the skin, or respiration. Our sense of smell is linked directly to the brain, uniquely connecting scents and emotions. 



A preliminary Consultation provides the opportunity for both Client and Practitioner to both discuss and record a brief history and identify the route which the Client would like to take. On the basis of this information, I will create a synergistic blend (the overall effect being greater than the sum of its component parts) from a wide selection of essential and carrier oils, for us to use.

 

If required, it is also possible for Clients to purchase individually tailored aromatherapy blends for use at home.

*Contraindications apply and, in the instance of such, referral to your GP may be advised.
