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.

SAD, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder, can hit hard, as the clocks turn back in October, and the daylight fades...
Â
What is SAD?
MIND, the mental health organisation, describe SAD's symptoms as difficulty in concentrating, feeling sad, guilty or hopeless, being more prone to illnesses such as colds and infections, sleeping too long or too little and changes in hunger or sexual interest.
Â
It is a reaction to seasonal changes in daylight, which disrupts our body clock and hormones like serotonin, which affect mood, appetite and sleep.
🌟 But here’s the good news 🌟
Â
Acupuncture is the answer to our hormonal prayers!
It helps regulate our nervous system, calming us down or energising us, depending on which points around the body are focused on.
It also helps boost serotonin and melatonin, which boost our mood and help us sleep.Â
Â
We can also use acupuncture to strengthen our immune system, by using points on the Lung Meridian and tonify what the ancient Chinese called Wei Qi! Go on… Google it! All that and the loving embrace of our warm, friendly group clinic...
Â
See you on 10th November...

Today we are welcoming the darkness at Samhain/Halloween…
Traditionally, in Celtic and other communities, this evening would mark the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half.
Transitions and womanhood feel synonymous, as we travel through life, with the rhythms of our bodies. I wonder if we feel the transitions of the natural world more keenly because of this...
Some believe that at this time of year the division between this world and the 'otherworld' is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.
Ancestors are honoured and invited home, while harmful spirits are warded off. People wear costumes and masks, disguising themselves as harmful spirits, to ward off unwanted attention from the actual spirits.

Death Café - A Space for Life’s Deepest Conversations
3pm this Sunday at Moon.
Join us for an intimate gathering where we drink tea, eat cake, and talk about death 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.
What to Expect
â• Small group-directed discussion about death, with no set topics or conclusions
â• A gentle, open space where all perspectives and curiosities are welcome
â• The chance to listen, to share, or simply to be present
â• Tea, cake, and conversation in good company
Why Death Cafe?
In our culture, there are few places where we can talk openly about death. Death Cafes create a safe and relaxed space for these conversations, helping us to reflect on life’s great mystery together. Since the first gathering in 2011, more than 21,000 Death Cafes have been held in 93 countries - a testament to the universal human wish to speak honestly about mortality.
