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.

⭕️ The Acupuncture Collective - This Monday ⭕️
We often talk about health as a marathon, not a sprint. With winter (and El Niño), and all its demands on our immune system, on its way, now is the perfect time for a pre-emptive tune-up.
In Chinese medicine, our immune system is made up of layers of defence, and Acupuncture is our Holy Grail in fortifying these defences.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, strengthening your Wei Qi (Protective Qi) now is the best way to prevent winter colds and keep your foundations strong.
Whether you've been managing chronic digestive issues, navigating hormonal wobbles, or seeking support for your mental well-being, our Collective haven is here to help you.
We'll be working to build that natural inner vitality so you can greet the colder months from a place of strength.
We are also delighted to let you know that with Dr Sunila taking a step back, as she prepares for the arrival of her little one, we welcome Jules Simonneau to the Moon Women's Health practitioner family.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 3pm to 8pm on Monday 12th October

Despite the warmth, Autumn is now well and truly upon us: the farmers’ market is full of squashes and conkers shimmer underfoot.
With the season change comes an artwork change to adorn the wall of Moon’s studio space.
Local artist Jen Cable has continued her generosity and loaned us her work ‘Hidden Connections’ - a piece that highlights the interconnected world of trees.
Mature trees are able to pass nutrients to shaded or struggling saplings through their underground fungal networks. During drought, trees share water with their neighbours, helping younger trees thrive when resources are scarce.
Trees don’t simply look after themselves - they’re part of a bigger, connected community. We see this reflected our own community, the small acts that keep us together. A kind word, checking in on a neighbour, sharing what we have, lending a hand when someone is struggling.
When times are tough, these small acts of care can make all the difference. So, when you next pass a tree in your street, give it a drink. A little water from each of us can go a long way.

Anna Lawton has such a beautiful way with words we had to reshared her post about Moon's 5th Birthday Celebrations - WOW 5 YEARS!
(And also I'm blushing ☺️)
👇👇👇
Celebrating 5 years of @moon_womens_health this evening with such joy and fulfilment.
One of the huge privileges of this amazing job is working with mothers and families, as well as working with so so so many incredible women in connected spaces.
Moon is a huge part of that for me.
Anna @hampstead_heath_herbalism has created something so special and so real at Moon, and I feel hugely thankful to have witnessed it and been part of it since the beginning.
She has held space and connection in such a unique way, and benefitted so many women and families across north London. She has enabled so many of us to explore ideas and businesses, giving space to fail safely, and succeed with pride.
I am so incredibly lucky to so often spend my time around glorious, enriching, inspiring women. I never take it for granted. Anna is one of them and tonight I celebrate her, the other amazing women in this space, and everything we continue to create.
On a week when hope has felt slightly further away, this was the grounding I needed.
After coming together with so many wonderful ones at the Homerton protest yesterday, I conclude this 48hrs with the strong reminder of how many good people there are doing good work amongst it all.
👆 Tonights celebration 👉 Some pictures from my early days at Moon and the beginnings 💞
To those strong women, may we be them, may we support them, may we surround ourselves with them, may we raise them ✊💜💪1 week ago
