I’m Joanne, an aromatherapist with over 2 decades of experience

My journey into holistic therapy began in 1998, when I completed formal training in Beauty Therapy, gaining both the CIDESCO and ITEC Diplomas in Beauty Therapy.  This gave me a great foundation for understanding the body and personal health.  I followed this up in 1999 with formal Diploma in Aromatherapy under the internationally recognised CIDESCO standard, a qualification known worldwide for its high level of excellence in beauty, wellbeing, and holistic therapies.

I started by combining my work as a beauty therapist and massage therapist with aromatherapy, which has given me a deep, hands-on understanding of the body, relaxation, and the importance of caring for both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Since my training, I’ve been using essential oils in everyday life, first with my family and friends, and then with clients who seek natural, supportive wellbeing naturally.

Through my work in beauty and massage therapy, I found a strong passion for treating the whole body and mind, and I want to support people in a more gentle, whole-person way. 

Aromatherapy naturally became a core part of that journey, not just as a treatment, but as something that could be woven into daily life.

With my own experience of ongoing medical challenges, aromatherapy has also been a deeply personal support mechanism for me. It’s helped me create small, grounding moments of calm, comfort, and balance; especially during times when life felt overwhelming. Because of this, I approach aromatherapy with genuine care, understanding, and empathy.

What I love most about aromatherapy is its gentle and nurturing nature — it’s not just about scent, but about how you feel when you breathe it in, slow down, and give yourself permission to rest.
