About Aromatherapy
All ancient cultures have used plants as medicine and many moderns drugs started life as plant extracts. Aromatherapy combines the therapeutic properties of plants with massage. After a consultation, I blend oils specifically for the client and the body absorbs the oils through the skin during the massage. I would probably blend something totally different for say a muscle injury than a stress problem, and may vary the massage techniques.
Equally if you don't want aromatherapy you can explore the many other treatments that are available all of which have their own benefits. This can all be discussed during your initial consultation and incorporated into your individual care plan.
Like all complementary therapies, aromatherapy is not intended to take the place of medical care when you are ill, but it can help many minor problems and can still work alongside conventional medicine in more serious situations.
Wherever possible I use organic essential oils and cold pressed base oils for all products and treatments.
The appointment is 1 ½ hours and costs £ 40.
