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.

Saturday afternoon step into a transformative experience where breath is your guide to inner balance and vitality with Ewa Bell.
On Sunday afternoon join Ewa Bell again to explore your anger, learn to understand, befriend, and digest it - so that it can work for you, not against you.

Next Saturday evening connect with the energy of the New Moon, feel the calling to sisterhood, join with other women and set your intentions for the month ahead with Desiree Diaz.

It’s a wonderful, warm March introduction to Thomasina Lowe, who offers her breastfeeding and baby feeding expertise at Moon’s monthly New Mama & Parent One-Stop Drop-in.
She also offers so much more, over to Thomasina 👇
Greetings! I’m Thomasina.
I’m a registered lactation consultant and a breastfeeding peer supporter with the @bfnislington Breastfeeding Support Service. I have been a part of the Moon village since the early days, supporting mothers on their feeding journey.
My personal experience of breastfeeding my son, led me to train with the @thebreastfeedingnetworkuk in 2005. I have him to thank for introducing me to a world I didn’t know existed, breastfeeding and the village that comes with it!
Becoming a mother, and navigating the highs and the lows of that journey (which are ongoing!) has been transformative and underpins all the work I do with mothers and their babies.
I currently work at UCLH and the Whittington, run breastfeeding clinics and visit mothers in their homes.
I’ve previously worked as a person-centred counsellor. This has made the transition to supporting mothers a natural progression, supporting the potentially complex psychological demands breastfeeding can create.
I also love teaching – primarily ante-natal breastfeeding workshops. I believe knowledge is power, so equipping mothers with breastfeeding education is essential for a good start on this journey.
I consider it a privilege to support the families I work with during a pivotal point in their lives. Cliched perhaps, but I learned first-hand, as a new mother, that it certainly does take a village to raise a child.
With this in mind, I am also delighted to be part of the @wombandbloomlondon collective, where I teach antenatal breastfeeding education sessions and support mums postnatally with breastfeeding.
My aim is to instil a belief in mothers and families that they are not alone, that with the right guidance, love and care, they will find their way, feeling secure and confident in their choices, and ultimately enjoying being new mothers with their baby.
