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.
