How I Use Aromatherapy in My Coaching
Aromatherapy is rooted in herbal medicine — one of the oldest wellbeing practices in the world. Essential oils, the tools of aromatherapy, offer a gentle way to support emotional balance, relaxation, and reconnection with oneself. They can be especially supportive during periods of personal transition, such as the end of a difficult relationship, when emotional steadiness and self-care are more important than ever.
I incorporate aromatherapy both in my personal life and as a supportive element within my coaching practice. My holistic approach is particularly suited to women who feel emotionally overwhelmed, mentally busy, or disconnected from their sense of self. Research suggests that certain essential oils may influence relaxation and emotional balance through their interaction with the limbic system — the area of the brain involved in emotions, memory, and mood. Because scent is closely linked to emotional processing, it can act as a gentle anchor during moments of grounding, reflection, or change.
Used intentionally, essential oils can:
Support grounding before or after coaching sessions
Create calming rituals during emotionally demanding periods
Anchor intentions such as boundaries, confidence or
self-trust
Support moments of reflection, journaling
or mindfulness
Encourage sensory
self-care that feels nurturing, not
overwhelming

There are many well-established companies with excellent oils. The brand I personally use and trust is dōTERRA, chosen for the purity of their oils and their commitment to responsible, sustainable sourcing. To guarantee the highest level of quality dōTERRA has created the CPTG (Certified Pure Tested Grade™) testing process to certify that their oils do not contain added fillers or harmful contaminants, but are pure and authentic. The oils are very potent and a little goes a long way, making them both effective and long-lasting.
