Holistic Aromatherapy
Join Victoria for a deeply restorative, holistic Aromatherapy treatment. Sessions are tailored to suit your needs, combining premium essential oils and therapeutic massage techniques to help relieve tension, stress, anxiety and symptomatic issues arising from 21st century living! Holistic Aromatherapy aims to restore balance, vitality and promote emotional resilience and harmony of mind, body and spirit.
What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the systematic external use of essential oils to improve physical and emotional well-being. It is an especially effective treatment for stress-related problems and a variety of chronic conditions. It can be used on any age.
Essential oils, extracted from plants, possess distinctive therapeutic properties, which can be utilised to improve health and prevent disease. They are chemically complex, and, like other herbal medicines, have effects on animal, including human animal, anatomy and physiology. They are aromatic, volatile substances extracted from a single botanical source by distillation or expression. Essential oils have been utilised in fragrances, flavours and medicines for thousands of years. There are some 400 essential oils extracted from plants all over the world. Some of the popular oils used in aromatherapy today include chamomile, lavender, rosemary and tea tree.
How can Aromatherapy Support you?
Aromatherapy can be particularly helpful in how we respond to stress. Each of us has our own areas of weakness, whether these be, for example, a tendency to digestive disturbance, disruption of the menstrual cycle, difficulty sleeping, or a tendency to headaches and migraines. And the complex chemistry of essential oils enables a more precise targeting than merely using their ability to help relax or energise.
Additionally, these oils, because of the link between smell and the ability to evoke memory, may have some even more profound, more mysterious effects. Many clients will find that they will respond in a far more personal way to an individual oil, or blend, than simply to its known effects due to the properties and actions of its chemistry
What happens in Victoria’s aromatherapy session?
Victoria’s approach to massage has profoundly changed since she trained as a craniosacral practitioner. She utilises stillness within a hands on session,with an instinct to see how a lighter touch may engage a client’s own body to become aware of unnecessary muscular tension. She is a practitioner for clients whose muscular tension may be emotional holding, rather than specific and local muscular injury, or acute postural or usage trauma.

Three magical sessions on this early December weekend.
On Saturday afternoon, Mary Sheppard helps us conjure a magical and playful world, with games, partner-yoga, stories, music, dancing, art, mindfulness and relaxation. At this month’s Family Yoga session, we’ll celebrate the joy of the holidays - Christmas, Hanukkah, and co-create some fun holiday family yoga poses such as Christmas trees, snowmen, reindeer, elves, Santa, and sipping hot chocolate.
On Sunday afternoon, Heidi Alden creates a safe and relaxed space for conversations about death, helping us to reflect on life’s great mystery together. This is a small gathering where we drink tea and eat cake, in a warm, welcoming environment. A Death Café is a discussion group with no agenda, objectives, or themes - the conversation simply flows from what those present bring on the day.
On Sunday evening, Kerry Miller and Christel Stanfield Bruce guide us in a calming breath work workshop designed for all levels. In this gentle session, you’ll explore the power of conscious breathing to calm the mind, relax the body, and reconnect with yourself. Come as you are - no experience needed, just a willingness to breathe.

As the days grow shorter and the air more chilly, Sophie and Dr Sunila from Moon’s Acupuncture Collective (our low-cost multi-bed acupuncture clinic) have been reflecting on the importance of warmth - not just for our bodies, but for our hearts too.
Winter is ideally a time for slowing down, nourishing ourselves, and cherishing the small joys of the season. However, the holiday season can be a stressful time, especially when balancing family, work, and social obligations.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is associated with the Water Element, which is linked to our kidneys. Energetically, they store our essence as human beings and govern longevity. During winter, the kidneys become more vulnerable, especially due to the cold weather.
So keeping physically warm during the colder months is really important- especially our lower back where our kidneys are, as well as our feet and neck, which are other areas of the body particularly vulnerable to the cold.
But how can we protect our kidneys and hearts from the frenetic energy of the festive season? Whether it’s grabbing a journal for a ‘brain dump’, embracing our inner child with creativity or retreating to the haven of the Acupuncture Collective, our hearts can find refuge from that external chaos.
This season calls for rest, reflection, and nourishment to preserve our energy for the year ahead. Dr Sunila and Sophie are here to help you see out your year peacefully at the Collective, as we close the chapter of 2025 and open the chapter of 2026.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 8th December at Moon Women’s Health, 63 Chetwynd Road, NW5 1BX.
