๐Ÿ’— Aromatherapy ~ My Introduction

Updated: Jul 6, 2021

The heart was thumping in my chest, water dripping down my back, my stomach felt like a washing machine as I entered a room full of women I had never met before, all eagerly waiting for โ€˜the talkโ€™ to start.


The first thing that struck me was the fragrance. It drew me right to the centre of the room. There stood a woman, beside a massage bed, getting her equipment ready for the talk. She was wearing a purple skirt and a white top. Her hair was long and tied back. She was about to demonstrate a face massage using essential oils.



Her beautiful oils were all laid out with love, those that relaxed, de-stressed and uplifted us. As we were a group of parents with kids with additional needs this information was just invaluable. The title of the talk was โ€˜Coping with Stress a New Wayโ€™. I was intrigued by the word โ€˜stressโ€™ even though I had never heard it before, I was aware of its effects! Aromatherapy was my first introduction to the world of healing therapies.


I received many full body treatments from that wonderful therapist, in an effort to manage my stress which really did the trick. The weekly contact with her was magical. She suggested I find a training course so that I could become a therapist myself. I enrolled in a year long, full time College course and there my journey began, learning to help other people manage their stress too.


Many hours of study followed. I qualified with an Holistic Massage and a Stress Management Diploma at the end of that academic year. I went on to add much more to my repertoire including a teaching diploma. I opened my training college where I taught the therapies, I was qualified in for 16 years.
