Aromatherapy: 3 Things I Wish Every Client Knew
Aromatherapy is one of those therapies that sounds simple—just oils that smell nice, right? But behind the blends and fragrances lies a powerful system of healing that works on your body, mind, and spirit. After years of working with essential oils, I’ve come to realise there are three key things I wish every client knew before stepping into a session.
These insights could completely change the way you view aromatherapy, and maybe even your own healing journey.
1. Aromatherapy Isn’t Just About Smell
Most people think aromatherapy is all about breathing in a lovely fragrance. While scent plays an important role, essential oils go far deeper. Each oil carries unique chemical compounds that interact with your nervous system, your skin, and even your emotions.
- Lavender can calm the mind and support restful sleep.
- Peppermint can energise and clear mental fog.
- Frankincense has been used for centuries in spiritual practice to deepen meditation and calm anxiety.
In a treatment, these oils are absorbed through your skin as well as inhaled, allowing them to work on a physical and emotional level. It’s not just a pampering treatment—it’s a science-backed, holistic therapy.
2. Your Emotions Live in Your Body
Many clients come to me feeling stressed, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed. What they don’t realise is that emotions don’t just live in the mind—they show up in the body. Tight shoulders, tension headaches, restless sleep… these are often emotional patterns made physical.
Essential oils can gently shift those stored emotions. When paired with massage or reflexology, aromatherapy helps your body release what it’s holding onto, creating space for calm and clarity.
Think of it as pressing the “reset” button for your nervous system.
3. Quality Oils Make All the Difference
Not all essential oils are created equal. The tiny bottles you see in high-street shops often contain diluted or synthetic versions of the real thing. That’s why some people try “aromatherapy” at home and don’t feel much difference.
In professional aromatherapy, I only use pure, high-grade oils chosen for their therapeutic properties. I also create blends that are tailored to your personal needs—whether that’s stress relief, better sleep, pain support, or emotional balance.
When the oils are pure and the intention is clear, the results can be profound.
Why Try Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is so much more than a “treat yourself” session. It’s a holistic tool for:
- Stress relief and deep relaxation
- Balancing emotions and calming the nervous system
- Supporting energy and focus
- Enhancing spiritual practices like meditation
- Relieving tension and boosting physical wellbeing
Each session is bespoke, designed around your needs, and often paired with massage for maximum effect.
