Aromatherapy as a Gentle Support
Aromatherapy has its roots in herbal medicine - one of the oldest wellbeing practices in the world. Through the use of essential oils, it offers a gentle, sensory way to support emotional balance, grounding, and reconnection with yourself.
I find aromatherapy can be especially supportive during periods of transition - such as the end of a difficult or emotionally draining relationship - when steadiness, self-care, and nervous system support matter more than ever.
I use essential oils both in my own daily life and, where appropriate, as a supportive complement within my coaching practice. My approach is holistic and particularly suited to women who feel emotionally overwhelmed, mentally busy, or disconnected from their sense of self.
Scent is closely linked to the limbic system - the area of the brain involved in emotions, memory, and mood. Because of this close connection, aromatherapy can act as a gentle anchor during moments of reflection, grounding, or change.
Used intentionally, essential oils can support you to:
Ground before or after coaching sessions
Create calming rituals during emotionally demanding periods
Anchor intentions such as boundaries, confidence, or
self-trust
Support journaling, reflection, or mindfulness practices
Encourage sensory self-care that feels nurturing, not overwhelming
Aromatherapy is never used as a treatment or solution - but as a soft, optional layer of support that many women find comforting and regulating.
Essential Oils I Use & Trust
There are many reputable essential oil companies available. The brand I personally use and trust is dōTERRA, chosen for the purity of their oils and their commitment to responsible, sustainable sourcing.
To ensure quality, dōTERRA uses the CPTG (Certified Pure Tested Grade™) testing process. This means their oils are tested to confirm they are free from fillers, contaminants, and harmful substances, and are pure and authentic. The oils are highly concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way.
If you’d like to explore essential oils for your own wellbeing, you’re welcome to use my link to create a dōTERRA account. This provides access to wholesale pricing, a loyalty programme, and additional member benefits.
I believe in transparency. If you choose to use my link, I may receive a small commission - at no additional cost to you. I only ever recommend essential oils that I personally use, trust, and genuinely value.
