How do essential oils support and enhance treatments?
Essential oils are powerful plant essences that are made up of over 100 different chemical constituents. Depending on which compounds are most abundant, essential oils show different properties: some oils are stimulants, others relaxing; some show wound-healing properties, others balance hormonal functions. Some oils alleviate pain, others act as diuretics; some essential oils stimulate circulation or lymph-flow, others are nervine.
Some support a healthy immune response while others are anti-fungal, anti-bacterial or anti-viral.
During a treatment, up to five essential oils are selected and synergistically blended to support whatever we want to achieve. I also love to create bespoke personally selected products that can be used in daily routine to guide you to your best wellbeing version. One of my favourite approaches is to use a single essential oil on acupuncture points to promote the balancing effect of massaging the Chinese energetic pathways with the assistance of the oil’s special character.
Who would you recommend an aromatherapy massage to?
I have used aromatherapy massage on tiny babies suffering from colics, on pregnant mothers to alleviate their back pain, on teenagers to help them with their acne, on clients after accidents or during emotional challenges in life, and on bedridden elderly. The healing magic of touch is something that is widely underestimated, and I recommend it to everybody.
Can you explain briefly what aromatic kinesiology is?
Aromatic kinesiology is a modality created by Robbi Zeck. She combines the biofeedback of kinesiology with the awesome integrating and powerful heart centring abilities of essential oils. Sessions can support deep stress release, defuse negative emotions, comfort heartache, resolve addictions, and increase nurture and self-love. Home integration to support subconscious changes by smelling the essential oils while reciting affirmations is part of this system.
What are some of the most inspiring/rewarding/positive changes or healings you have seen your clients make?
Seeing a baby calm while being submerged in a lavender and chamomile bath after a day full of crying brought me to tears. Rescuing a businessman from a brink of a heart attack because of his stressful life was an inspiring process. Supporting a friend through her cancer struggle brought forward healing on many levels for both of us. Massaging away the tightness of the shoulders of a client who hardly could move her arms and neck so she could lift her small children again was definitely rewarding. Observing the change in young children with challenging behaviours and learning difficulties is very fulfilling. And of course, accommodating clients on their journey to becoming the healthiest version of themselves is always humbling and awesome.
