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.

NHS Maternity care has been getting a public battering lately, what with Jeremy Hunt's erroneous Times piece, and Baroness Amos's recent maternity report.
Having vice-chaired a local Maternity Voices Partnership for several years, with the 'beyond the veil' access that gave, seeing the midwife experience, with the lack of funding/resources and burnout, this hasn't surprised me...
I've struggled to put into words my feelings about the latest report, but @stockportbirth has done it very well 👇
The ‘interim’ maternity and neonatal investigation report is out today.
This has cost how many thousands of pounds and it’s telling us…what we already knew? Nice one 🙄 It’s costly, it’s late (remember - Wes told us it would be done and dusted after 6 months), it’s not giving us new information. What a fantastic use of resources 🙄 I literally can’t eye roll enough.
It’s very telling that in the report there’s an entire paragraph of concerns raised about the report methodology that's swept away with a shrug of the shoulders. Even more telling is that two of the units being reviewed as part of the report had to be removed from the programme of work because of ongoing court and legal action. I mean, that alone should be ringing the alarm bells in Starmer’s offices.
I fully agree with all the issues that Amos has mentioned in her interim communication. But I agreed with the findings of the last review, and the one before that, and the one before that, and… Had this have been an investigation into *why* no meaningful action has been taken then perhaps there wouldn’t be so many people upset at the waste of time and resource that’s been diverted to replicating what we already know.
And let’s not forget the backdrop that this review sits in. Service Development Funding for maternity services was reduced by 98%. ICBs have been asked to reduce their budgets by up to 50%, meaning Local Maternity & Neonatal Systems and Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnerships are being eradicated. Meanwhile Caesarean and inductions have increased and, regardless of any other factors, are significant medical procedures which cost a lot of money to perform.
