Women’s Health Aromatherapy
What is Women’s Health Aromatherapy?.
Women’s Health Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils specifically tailored to support the unique physical, emotional, and hormonal needs of women. It addresses various stages of our life, including menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and overall wellbeing. By using natural plant extracts, Women’s Health Aromatherapy helps alleviate symptoms like menstrual pain, hormonal imbalances, mood swings, and stress, while promoting relaxation, balance, and well-being.
This holistic approach supports women in managing their health naturally, enhancing both physical and emotional well-being.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the aromatic essence of the plant, extracted from the leaves, flowers, fruits, bark, seeds, roots or resins and they contain plants’ defence mechanisms. Essential oils are powerful healing agents and their properties range greatly. They can help with a broad spectrum of conditions including skin problems like psoriasis, eczema or fungal infections, chronic pain, digestive issues and offer emotional and psychological support. They have been used for thousands of years not only for their medicinal & fragrant properties, but also in rituals to achieve spiritual connection.
Methods of Application
- Massage: The most common method, combining the benefits of touch with the healing properties of essential oils for a deep, holistic treatment.
- Other Methods: Essential oils can also be used in baths, compresses, skincare, or inhaled.

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.

A warming Moon Wise Woman Practitioner gathering this morning.
We shared food, laughs and connection as we found out more about each other.
We heard from both Amanda Davie and Anna Lawton on how they support our local community, through their offerings.
It's always such a pleasure to meet one another, coming together as a practitioner community.

Three magical sessions on this early December weekend.
On Saturday afternoon, Mary Sheppard helps us conjure a magical and playful world, with games, partner-yoga, stories, music, dancing, art, mindfulness and relaxation. At this month’s Family Yoga session, we’ll celebrate the joy of the holidays - Christmas, Hanukkah, and co-create some fun holiday family yoga poses such as Christmas trees, snowmen, reindeer, elves, Santa, and sipping hot chocolate.
On Sunday afternoon, Heidi Alden creates a safe and relaxed space for conversations about death, helping us to reflect on life’s great mystery together. This is a small gathering where we drink tea and eat cake, 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.
On Sunday evening, Kerry Miller and Christel Stanfield Bruce guide us in a calming breath work workshop designed for all levels. In this gentle session, you’ll explore the power of conscious breathing to calm the mind, relax the body, and reconnect with yourself. Come as you are - no experience needed, just a willingness to breathe.
