I have had an interest in holistic health and complementary therapies for a long time. I first came across essential oils about 30 years ago. I had my first sniff of geranium essential oil and was instantly smitten! To support my own wellbeing I regularly received massage and later, Reiki treatments and other holistic therapy treatments, finding them a wonderful support through some very difficult times.

I eventually decided to follow my heart and train as an Aromatherapist and as a Reiki practitioner. I qualified as an Aromatherapist in March 2001. Later in the same year I completed my Reiki Master Teacher training. I am also qualified in Indian Head Massage, Aromatic Acupressure and Massage in Pregnancy.
As an Aromatherapist, I work with Gabriel Mojay’s system of Oriental Aromatherapy, which combines the use essential oils for the mind and emotions in conjunction with a solid clinical practice. He is the author of “Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit.”

How I Work
I draw on Eastern philosophy, including the theories of Yin/Yang and the Five Elements from Traditional Chinese Medicine. These elements are Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. The essential oils I use are classed and organised within that structure.

Each of the five elements represents a phase of yin and yang energy, which when in balance allows for a harmonious state of being. A holistic therapy with this influence involves the whole person and their way of life. This philosophy in combination with nourishing massage and aromatic essences is a soothing yet powerful way of coming back to a peaceful, harmonious self.

I use Oriental Observation and Five Element theory (both based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine) to help determine the best combination of massage, acupressure and essential oils. Each treatment is tailored to meet the client’s specific needs. With the first treatment there is a consultation where I take a detailed medical history. From this discussion a treatment plan can be discussed and devised with the client.

For the massage blends, I use organic and wild-crafted essential, infused and base oils. Each blend is created according to the symptoms or issues the client presents with on the day.

All information is taken in strictest confidence.

Complementary therapies are a wonderful support to orthodox medical treatment. The treatments are not intended as a replacement for orthodox medical treatment and any observations made are on an energetic basis only. Any treatment plans devised are within the bounds of complementary therapies.
