Essential Oils

Studying for my Diploma with Neals Yard, really opened my eyes to the healing and transformative power of essential oils. Various parts of the plant can produce essential oils, it can be from the flowers, leaves, fruit as well as stems and roots as well.  Essential oils are vital to the survival of the plant in a number of ways: 

​

  • Wound healing and antimicrobial properties help to heal and restore the plant

  • The scent of the oil attracts pollinators

  • Antimicrobial compounds in the oil protect the plant from fungal attacks

  • Terpenoid compounds help to protect the plant against attack from insects and animals ​

 

​ Luckily for us, we can also benefit from these properties and actions. For example, resin essential oils such as Frankincense and Myrrh form when the tree or plant is damaged. The resin soothes the irritated plant tissue, limits bacterial growth and seals the wound protecting the plant.  So it makes sense that Frankincense is a wonderful oil for wound healing for us humans as well!  

 

Essential Oils can be used to help support a huge range of conditions, such as stress, anxiety, indigestion, period pains, skin conditions, migraines, the list goes on!  The beautiful thing about blending essential oils is that it can be completely tailored to your needs both in the session and in any bespoke home blends.

Aromatherapy and Massage

The first session will involve a consultation which is an opportunity to learn more about you and areas to focus on in the session, whether it is musculoskeletal, emotional, immune boosting, respiratory etc. 

Based on our discussions, I will suggest oils for you to smell, and together we will come up with a blend that you love the smell of AND is targeted to your needs on the day!  

Usually, the massage will be full body which includes; back, legs, arms and neck - abdomen can also be included if you wanted and can be wonderful with digestive related conditions.  Although it isn't as common, abdominal massage is very soothing, particularly if you suffer with any digestive complaints. However, each session can be completely tailored to your needs on the day.
