Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils (oils extracted from plants) to benefit the mind and body. Essential oils have many natural properties and throughout the ages they have been used for medical and cosmetic purposes.

Essential oils are absorbed by the skin and inhaled through the nose; they have a direct effect on the part of our brain that affects our emotions, moods and memories (the limbic system). They can be used to sedate, calm & relax, energise & stimulate.

As well as affecting the way we feel essential oils have many other natural properties such as: antiseptic, pain relief, anti bacterial, anti fungal and anti viral. They can help to strengthen the immune system, relieve muscle spasms, and have many other benefits.

Aromatherapy massage uses a blend of carrier oils and essential oils selected to suit your needs, the oils Zoë uses are of a very high quality and where possible organic. Aromatherapy massage is often a soothing and relaxing massage, but this can be adapted to suit you.
