I love aromatherapy! I believe that you can only really promote something if you yourself have a true belief in the benefits it offers. I am passionate about aromatherapy because I have found it to help me throughout my own life through times of stress and anxiety, times of worry and change and times where I have came to the realisation that by really looking after myself all the other areas of my life have improved.
From the beginning…
My keen interest in complementary therapies began while working for over two years within Napiers Herbal Clinic. Following this I was fortunate enough to travel for one year taking in the wonders of Thailand, Cambodia, China and India. Throughout my travels I was intrigued by the eastern attitude towards health and the way in which massage is seen, not as a luxury treatment, but as a routine occurance undergone on a regular basis to promote both physical and emotional well being. I gained an understanding by speaking to people of how they viewed massage as vital to achieving efficiency and balance within the body, as well as helping to achieve stillness and a sense of calm within the mind, when all around is hectic.
After completing my Thai massage qualification at the world renowned Wat Po shool in Bangkok I returned to Glasgow with the long term aim of changing my direction in life. I decided not to pursue a career in the area of marketing where I had completed my degree but instead to begin a qualification in what I was more passionate about, Aromatherapy.
Having now qualified as a Clinical Aromatherapist I have never looked back. My role as an aromatherapist brings together all of the things which I enjoy; meeting people, helping people and offering people the opportunity to feel good.
I am a full acredited member of the Complementary Therapists Asociation (CthA). Feel free to ask if you wish to view my qualification or certification documents.
