About Me
My area of focus is in Aromatherapy, having graduated from my Aromatherapy Diploma at the Canterbury College of Natural Medicine in New Zealand in 2001.
In January 2002 I moved to Melbourne where I established a healthy business, with many happy clients and customers, with whom I formed a friendly rapport. In July 2015, after 13 years away from home I moved back to New Zealand to live in Carterton, in the Wairarapa.
The benefits of aromatherapy, in my opinion, reach far and wide…..and they can be valuable as either a stand-alone treatment or compliment to other methods of treatment of a wide variety of ailments.
I also practice swedish massage, and make natural body care products. I have worked with people with cracked/damaged skin, digestive disorders, anxiety, colds, sinus, infections and stress, specialising in sensitive skin conditions, and relief of stress and muscular tension. I have achieved fantastic results working with these clients through customising the treatment plan and the essential oil blend, product or massage oil to the needs of the individual.
I have had personal experience with sensitivities to some foods, detergents, soaps and skincare products. This gave me a better understanding of the needs of people with sensitivities, and how widely our needs differ. It also gave me a serious interest in this area.
I love making products for people with specific needs and/or sensitivities to some of the more common, synthetic skin care products. Since receiving my Diploma my interest in this area has continued to grow. Mostly due to the results I see when helping people find replacements for products they react to. I see great potential for helping people with ailments which can be so difficult to overcome.
I also have a large number of clients suffering with muscular tension/pain. This ranges from over-used hands and arms, tightness and pain in the neck and shoulders, lower back pain, and also the relief of tightness and discomfort in the legs and feet. The most common troublesome area among my clients is the neck and shoulders, so I have worked a lot on this area. With a combination of heat, massage and essential oils, clients usually report much relief at the end of a session. It is also important to note that general self-care (ie stretches, relaxation, exercise, healthy lifestyle etc) are also key components to the relief of muscular tension and stress….as it is with most ailments.
It is my opinion that natural products, if used correctly, can be very beneficial in helping you treat conditions of the mind, body and spirit. When you’re treated holistically I believe you benefit more, as the whole person is treated, not just one part of yourself. With holistic treatment there is potential for healing in many areas, not just one as is too often the case.

CONSULTATIONS
Your session runs for an hour, but can be extended at the time of booking if you require longer. Your first one begins with a review of your past and present symptoms. This allows me to personalise a blend for you, and adapt the treatment to suit your needs.
I focus on both symptom relief and finding the underlying cause of your symptoms. At the end of each session I will ask you how you’re feeling, and if you’ve noticed any improvements. This helps me to determine the effectiveness of the blend and treatment methods of the session. I will also help you to determine easy ways to treat your self at home between sessions, from stretches and relaxation to diet and the use of essential oils.
Follow-up appointments begin with a brief review of your symptoms, any other health issues which may have presented, and your requests for the treatment.
