Why I stayed away from mass product production and why are Bespoke Aromatherapy blends are so powerful? Time is one of our scarcest commodities - We live in a world were people are praised for being stressed and 'Busy' as this means they must be successful. Alas when they sick as the majority ultimately get, their company simply replaces them with a newer model or most often, models. I can easily make stress blends, sleep blends, digestion blends and chronic pain blends however they may not have the desired effect for every single client and I don't want someone walking away with one of my products thinking they do not work, whereas in reality, it was just a case that the correct oils where not used in the blend. I teach Zoopharmacognosy courses and my aromatherapy practice changed a lot after I studied zoocog. Why? Because an animal may not select an oil that I am sure it will select given the physical ailments it is presenting with ie An animal with colic may not select peppermint but then does select fennel or even devils wort first for pain. Watching animals self select their oils and herbs for healing was enlightening to my work as an aromatherapist. One learning that was reiterated was the fact that animals will not generally work on emotional issues while they are experiencing physical ailments eg pain I am very blessed in my practice and made it a rule not to schedule too many clients in one day meaning I can spend a lot of time with my clients which is very precious. I get to see and know the whole person and not just hear the ailments and put a plaster on to get them out of my clinic. We, Aromatherapists, aim to get to the core of the issue. This may take some time for instance a client may present with digestive issues, and we work on relieving this however as time goes on, we work out that the digestive problems are caused by high anxiety, resulting in the client clamping down their stomach muscles for long periods of time. We may then work out this is triggered by the school run which takes them back to a very bad event which happened in the school play ground many years previous which was never healed. Once we can balance this heightened emotion and give helpful tools for the school run the client notices improvements in their digestive system.
What I have noticed through my practice is that people's blends can widely differ session by session ( they receive a blend to work with until their next session), others have the same core oils but some others are swapped in and out. It is fascinating to watch the changes.
While off-the-shelf products can meet the needs of clients some of the time, bespoke blends can be made specifically with the clients main concerns, preferences and health concerns in mind. Our bespoke approach ensures that the client receives the most effective and most appropriate treatment.
I use essential oils, clays, carrier oils, creams from the highest quality sources.
