Thank you for spending the time on my website
I am passionate about natures healing, the science of it and how I can help anyone who is interested in optimising their health and wellbeing for their body and mind. I have used EO extensively in healing my body and mind over the years, and truly appreciate the extensive science that is current in the literature. This must be shared and promoted!
As a result of my own positive experiences with EO's, I passionately pursued studies in Aromatherapy and Aromadermatolology. Hence, my recent career transition from a clinical dietitian to Aromatherapist, and the creation of CS products. CS is about positive intentions for those who want to try my healing remedies, made by hand using organic, and if required the use of COMOS approved natural ingredients.
My professional career as a dietitian in a clinical setting and private practice revealed to me the trulky harmful effects of stress on the human body which could be associated to many dis- ease conditions. More often than not stress induced effects was the primary driver to ill health.
While plant aromatics have been used extensively for supporting health since the dawn of history, it is really only since the 20th century that the science of Aromatherapy and use of essential oils has been formally recognised as a established science and effective healing tool.
In fact Aromatherapy still is dismissed by as 'just a lovely smell of an Aroma' so with this in mind - I am passionate to share the healing benefits that are made possible from natures plants. With the abundance of scientific literature supporting the therapeutic benefits of essential oils for assisting in numerous health related conditions there is no doubt they work!
A simple example such as how well Lavender oil is now is widely accepted and credited for its therapeutic actions in reducing stress and anxiety. Its positive effects on the hormonal and nervous system are profound, based on outcomes from randomised controlled trials. Lavender alters the levels of endogenous secretions of dopamine and serotonin
There is an abundance of Essential oils credited with positive and powerful healing actions to many traditional skin complaints, and dual action in tackling various infections; or other body related or mental issues.
However, while essential oils are derived from natural origins, there are genuine safety concerns that should be shared widely due to potential of medication interactions and skin reactions for example.
I am truly passionate to help others and to provide professional guidance on health and wellbeing related to Aromatherapy use, as well as additional dietary/nutrition concerns.
I look forward to being of assistance to you.
