Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to help to bring balance to the human mind, body and spirit. The word 'aroma' means a fragrance or smell and 'therapy' means treatment designed to cure.
Essential oils are natural essences that have been steam distilled or expressed from aromatic plants. The many different oil-bearing plants are harvested from all over the world and research from experts shows the field of activity of various oils is quite wide, ranging from therapeutic actions to the extreme subtlety of spiritual and emotional effects. Each essential oil has its own unique fragrance that can affect emotional and physical response through the olfactory system.
Aromatherapists are skilled in blending essential oils from aromatic plants in an informed and controlled manner to care for our well-being. Many people are familiar with some of the more widely used oils such as lavender. However an aromatherapist will carefully blend several essential oils together for an individual to use to suit a particular condition.
Essential oils can be introduced into the body in several ways, the most popular being through the skin or via inhalation. I work with a range of over 50 of the highest quality, ethically-sourced essential oils, 10 carrier oils and base products so I am able to create a unique tailor-made essential oil blend for each individual's requirements.
Prior to a treatment
Before an aromatherapy treatment it is very important that you shower or bathe and apply no creams or lotions. This ensures maximum absorption of the essential oils, to obtain optimum benefits of the treatment.
A personal blend of essential oils just for you
After taking a thorough confidential consultation a personal blend of essential oils will be chosen for you, taking into account your emotional and physical well-being and how you would like to benefit from the treatment.
For Aromatherapy and Swiss Reflex treatments, this blend will also be made up for you, combined with a cream, lotion or oil for you to use at home, enhancing the treatment and benefits.
An Aromatherapy treatment doesn't have to be combined with a massage. It can be a cream, lotion or oil that I can make up specifically for you to use at home, based on your consultation, but usually the benefits are significantly enhanced with a massage
