Aromatherapy & Essential Oils
Aromatherapy and aromatic herbs have been used for thousands of years. The wonderful benefits of aromatherapy can be experienced using topical applications, direct inhalation or by vaporising in a diffuser to release fragrance into the surrounding air. As a certified Aromatherapist, I can guide you through the benefits of essential oils and other plant based aroma compounds, to help reduce stress and anxiety, and restore physical and emotional wellbeing.
