Holistic Aromatherapy

Although the holistic approach is not always the most short-term treatment, it is the most thorough and beneficial.

Holistic Aromatherapy is an individual form of healing which involves using Aromatherapy essential oils to treat the entire person rather than just addressing the symptom.

When the mind is stressed we feel uneasy with ourselves and in time this can affect the body. This state can have many causes – pressure of work, incorrect diet, relationships, family, fear of the future, finance, and these are just a few.

The massage, which helps relieve tension, drains lymph fluid and improves circulation, will help to rejuvenate the body, removing aches and pains and generally promoting balanced good health. When the body is balanced problems disappear.

Aromatherapy treatments can be effective against stress, insomnia, depression, arthritis, skin problems, sinusitis, muscular aches and pains and many more conditions.

What to expect from my personal treatment method:

The first part of the treatment is taken up with a thorough discussion about yourself, lifestyle, sleep patterns, diet, medical history, medication and general state of health and mind. This part helps me to decide which oils are going to help you most, so the more we communicate, the more I can help.
The second half involves me selecting three essential oils, most appropriate with your emotional and physical state. A full body massage takes about an hour. I use music, as a background aid to promote relaxation but this is your choice.

Reiki Treatment

This is a very simple process. The receiver lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. It is not necessary to remove any clothing. The therapist gently lays their hands on the body in a sequence of positions directing the energy into the body of the receiver. Reiki instantly flows into the receiver with each treatment.

The Reiki therapist is used as a channel to conduct the Universal Life Energy. No energy is lost or drained from the therapist, who is instantly strengthened and charged.

The treatment lasts for about I hour, the hand positions are held in place for several minutes.

Combining Reiki with Aromatherapy treatments.

Since training in Reiki, I now complete Aromatherapy treatments with Reiki . Inner peace, calm and balance are restored to mind, body and spirit.

You will have a foundational level of knowledge, which you may later wish to build upon.
This knowledge can be put to use on yourself as well as your friends and family – the benefits are endless.
As an added bonus I will be offering a complementary massage to my students – hard work has its rewards!

This course is now accredited by Embody (formerly IGPP), which is one of the organisations that offers insurance for therapists. For those of you who take part in the course, you'll also gain the advantage of earning CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points. If you are interested in the course or want more information, please contact me.

Personal Development Workshop

My weekend Aromatherapy workshops have proved very successful. Many people who come to these workshops just use them as a taster to see whether this might be a career or lifestyle path for them. For those who decide to take on Aromatherapy as a more full time practice there are many factors that can be forgotten.

One of those students who came to a weekend workshop suggested that I offer a second workshop as a follow on stage for newly qualified therapists. The way I have always worked is with an entirely holistic approach treating the mind and the body as one. I also know it is important that each practitioner understands that they must remember to consider themselves as part of this holistic approach. So as a second phase to the Aromatherapy workshops I will now be offering a One Day Personal Development Workshop to benefit both your future clients and yourselves. Total price. £55.00

These will be open not only to those who have taken the Aromatherapy workshops but also to any Aromatherapist, however qualified, who feels for example, that they would like to learn about the holistic approach, or that they want a further understanding of how to take care of themselves
