Essential oils are the very essence of trees and plants - the oily, natural, aromatic extracts of stems, roots, seeds, flowers, bark and rinds that offer plants their distinctive smells as well as protection from disease and predators.  Once extracted from the plant through methods such as cold pressing and distillation, the therapeutic use of essential oils is today called Aromatherapy.

Fragrances are sensed via our olfactory nerves in the nasal cavity which are in turn processed in the brain and can in turn have a huge effect on our physical and emotional health.

​

The extensive use of plant essences for medicinal, aromatic and therapeutic purposes can be traced throughout history and in many cultures.  Today, techniques include inhalation e.g. diffusers and candles and topical applications such as massage therapy, poultices and cosmetics. 

​

I have used the incredible healing powers of herbs and essential oils for many years now as part of my natural medicine cabinet and to make my own natural cosmetics  including deodorants, scrubs, moisturisers and cleansers as well as cleaning products and candles.  

​

My passion for using essential oils led me to train as a Clinical Aromatherapist with The S.E.E.D Institute and a deep dive into the synergistic chemical constituents of each essential oil that give them their individual healing properties.  I now apply this knowledge within massage therapy treatments and Aromatherapeutic facials to enhance the effectiveness of these therapies, blending oils to support individual physical and emotional health requirements.
