Holistic Aromatherapist for Women's Health
I completed my training as a Holistic Aromatherapist at the Tisserand Institute in London in 1994. Unfortunately, life took me in other directions but I returned to this profession later in life after a long hiatus, and plan to continue studying holistic health until my memory no longer works :-) Having recently been through the peri-menopause and menopause I truly understand the debilitating effect hormonal imbalance, stress and disturbed sleep patterns can have on us all and our emotional wellbeing, no matter what our age.
Aromatherapy is not only about the olfactory system and smell - it’s also about the therapeutic properties of the oils when absorbed into the body via the skin. During an aromatherapy session, essential oils are mixed with a carrier oil and usually administered via massage using soft tissue manipulation to relax a specific area of the body or the whole body. The aroma of the oils and the absorption into the skin, together with the experience of a relaxing massage is a fantastic way to relieve stresses of everyday life, boost the immune system and generally help your body to combat infection, relax sore muscles, relieve skin problems among other things.
A note of interest - I completely lost my sense of smell in my early 30’s (and my sense of taste with it!). A devastating loss (or two losses), with doctors and specialists at the time telling me that I may never gain these senses back again. Thankfully after a year my sense of smell very slowly started to return (and with it I slowly started to be able to taste again). This was a life lesson in the importance of the impact our senses have on our health and happiness, and that we should never take these for granted.

What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that utilises the essence of aromatic, top-grade therapeutic essential oils to nurture your physical and emotional well-being. These natural oils, extracted from the heart of plants, each possess unique botanical, chemical, and therapeutic properties. For centuries, essential oils have been celebrated for their healing capabilities. In my treatments, I combine the power of essential oils with the soothing Swedish massage technique, known for its ability to relax and relieve stress while addressing a variety of concerns.

"If you’re looking for a relaxing yet informative massage then you must book an appointment with Cathy. From the moment I walked through the door I felt like I was in safe hands. Cathy listened to what I needed and offered me a selection of different aromatherapy oils to best suit what I needed, after selecting the ones I wanted I then had a very relaxing massage. Big thank you Cathy."
"I have just had an aromatherapy 60 minute massage from Cathy and the whole experience really was exceptional. Her lovely treatment room was relaxing, quiet and beautifully set up, and Cathy was warm, friendly and extremely professional. She went through the consultation form in detail and let me choose myself from a huge range of therapy oils, which was fun! Cathy's enthusiasm and knowledge for massage and aromatherapy is brilliant. I definitely will be back!"
"I booked an aromatherapy massage with Cathy, the first I’d had for some years. It was divine. As it was my first time, we chatted a bit about my medical/health background and then chose essential oils which evoked a strong positive reaction for me. Cathy described how things would go (which I very much appreciated as it helped me relax into the process). The massage itself was lovely. I felt truly pampered, and I left feeling relaxed and smelling gorgeous. I’ve already booked another appointment, and would highly recommend Cathy. She’s just a short walk from Wantage town centre too - perfect location."
