Scenar Therapy
I would like to tell you a story about my partner and his experiences regarding an injury he suffered to his left knee. This story is written from his perspective. It goes like this….nn"It was only a few months ago when I stopped playing with my children. It wasn't out of choice but rather circumstance. It happened one afternoon when my two young children wanted a game of cricket. I said, 'OK, let's have a game.' Five minutes later I was in pain and could hardly walk. I

Let The Buyer Beware!
Well we are now into a new year and well past a Christmas where here in Australia over a billion dollars was spent on unwanted presents alone. Ponder that for a moment. A billion dollars!....hmmm…Now that you have finished pondering I would like to tell you a story. A story that we either all know, or should know, yet like a flock of mindless sheep follow along, seemingly not knowing any better!nnThis is the story of the consumer who is seduced and conditioned by the ta

Would You Like Some Chemicals With That?
As a mother of 2 small children, I have experienced firsthand my sensitivity to chemicals during my pregnancies. I specifically remember a time when I was shopping and happened to be wandering through a large chemist looking for a natural facial cleanser when I stumbled across a well known brand that I was familiar with. It contained herbal extracts and natural essential oils. I was feeling light and happy about my bump and thought I would treat myself to a luxurious product;

Your Aromatherapy Baby
Children can often challenge us in many ways. Keeping their health in check, their emotions in balance and basically just keeping an eye on them can be an all-consuming task that can test our sanity! Some years ago B.C (before children), my partner and I were invited to stay with some friends for a social get together. While our friends were playing happy families with their one year old daughter, we were discussing how important it is that children not be programmed with fea

Natural Beauty - Natural Skin Care
What is the secret to beauty and maintaining a youthful complexion? The answer to this is truly not as complex as one might believe. There are those who obsess with the desire for 'perfection' and will go to great lengths chasing it, especially now that we have the nip & tuck beauty club & botox brigade at our disposal. For those of who are yet to succumb and I’m afraid we are becoming fewer and fewer, please read on.n nI recently had the opportunity of listening to a p

Natural Healing Powers
Practicing two very different forms of treatment massage, Traditional Chinese Massage and Physical Therapy plus Oriental Aromatherapy Massage and Bodywork, has been a satisfying and most rewarding occupation. With over 25 years experience in the health profession (including over 15 years as a registered nurse) and having studied both conventional medicine and a combination of both Eastern and Western medicine, I have found that my preference lies in the latter. This is not be

Oriental Aromatherapy
Not all massage is enjoyed just for the benefit of relaxation alone. Oriental Aromatherapy massage blends the East with the West in a more challenging way of treating body/ mind disorder. Through the holistic Chinese world view the subtle and invisible are as significant as what can be seen or touched and caring for the physical structure is entwined with the human spirit not separate from it. Illness, therefore, may be identical but the persons suffering from it are individu

Have Essential Oils - Will Travel
During a break from my Aromatherapy studies in London, I set out on a trip with my girlfriend to Egypt. I'd always been fascinated with Ancient Egyptian culture and impressed by their diverse knowledge and documented use of essential oils. Not only were essential oils sourced and used for the sensual pleasure imparted through perfumery, they also played a paramount part in ceremonial worshiping and for general health and wellbeing. To my surprise I was about to find out how r

The Touch Of Aromatherapy Power
One of the most frequently asked questions I hear from my clients is, “What made you leave your career in Nursing and start your own practice?”nnThe earlier part of my nursing career was spent in Australia in high dependency primary care and later in medical/oncology and palliative care. Illness surrounded me and death was more common than not. Disempowerment was augmented by a system resistant to change and it was not much longer til light soon shone in a new dir

Essential Oils and Pregnancy
Even though I found being pregnant to be a most enjoyable experience, I can also attest to the challenges that pregnancy presents. As each trimester unfolds in a pregnancy the body undergoes many dramatic changes including a heightened sensitivity to taste and smell, change in body shape, morning sickness, memory lapses as well as the inevitable emotional roller coaster ride. Essential oils can play a significant role in balancing the ups and downs and bring some pleasure to
