Aromatherapy Treatments

What is aromatherapy and how does it work?

Essential oils, extracted from various plant parts such as leaves, stems, flowers, bark, seeds, and roots, embody the essence, energy, and the very life force of the plant itself. Through methods like massage and inhalation, the essential oils are absorbed through the skin and bloodstream during treatment.

Each essential oil possesses its own unique therapeutic properties, influencing the body, mind, and soul in multifaceted ways. Physiologically, they impact muscles, tissues, and cells (Body {soma}). Pharmacologically, they engage with the brain (Mind {psyche}). Energetically, they facilitate an exchange during therapeutic touch, nurturing overall well-being (Soul {anima}).

By harnessing the essence of these oils, we enhance the physical benefits of massage, this includes stimulating the blood and lymphatic system, reducing high blood pressure, boosting the immune system, easing muscular tension and joint pain, and inducing deep relaxation to alleviate mental fatigue. Each session is a journey toward holistic well-being, a fusion of nature's healing properties and therapeutic touch. Skilfully blending the essential oils creates a synergy that amplifies their therapeutic effects beyond what they can achieve individually.

What to expect at your first appointment

Each of our sessions will start with a consultation, giving me a holistic understanding of how you are feeling and your body presenting. From this we will decide on the areas of focus and the bespoke blend of organic essential oils to be incorporated into your treatment.

Please note that complementary therapy is intended to be used alongside, rather than as a replacement for conventional medicine. If you have any concerns, it is advisable to consult your GP.

Aromatherapy Massage

My unique aromatherapy massage is an incredibly therapeutic experience that blends traditional massage techniques with a bespoke blend of essential oils, handpicked for their healing properties. Drawing inspiration from the graceful flow of nature, the massage strokes are fluid and dynamic, complemented by a compassionate touch. Creating a personalised and rejuvenating full-body treatment that includes the face and abdomen and ends with a soothing scalp massage. I use a deep, rhythmic massage technique to penetrate the muscles gently, providing a nurturing and relaxing experience that benefits both the body and mind.

    “Julie creates a sanctuary of calm, with a warm, welcoming energy that enables you to fully relax and drop deep into the treatment. I felt so safe and nurtured in her presence that my body began to unwind within the first few minutes of consultation.

    She is an incredible listener but also intuitive to her client's needs, crafting a wholistic treatment woven with love from beginning to end. She created the most heavenly aromatherapy blend she used during the massage, nourishing my body, mind, heart and soul. And what was left over, I took home in little bottles to continue working with over the coming days.

    Julie has the gift of heart, healing hands, and a genuine care that is tangible - I am grateful to know her and to have received her medicine!”

Impact of Scent

Our sense of smell is deeply intertwined with our memories and emotions. Certain scents have the remarkable ability to trigger vivid recollections and emotions associated with past experiences. This connection arises from the close proximity of the olfactory bulb, responsible for processing smells, to critical areas of our brain—the amygdala and hippocampus - responsible for managing memories and emotions. As a result, scents have a powerful impact on our mood and behaviour, often transporting us back to significant moments in our past and enhancing our present experiences.

Aromatherapy, as a holistic healing practice, offers an array of benefits, effectively addressing various health concerns. From easing insomnia, stress, tension, and muscular discomfort to alleviating issues related to PMS, menopause, and digestion, it proves to be a versatile and valuable approach. Furthermore, the application of specific oils and massage techniques can lead to improved appearance and feel of scar tissue post-surgery while also uplifting the overall mood.

One of the reasons massage, accompanied by the use of essential oils, is highly effective in stress reduction is due to the profound "feel-good" factor it induces. Carefully chosen essential oils can specifically target both physical and emotional manifestations of stress, enhancing the therapeutic impact of the treatment.

In my practice, I place immense importance on intuition and intention when crafting blends, synergising the plant's energetics to create the perfect, personalised therapeutic blend for each client, offering them a transformative and nurturing experience
