What is Aromatherapy?
Plant spirit. Earth medicine. Scent as soul companion.
๐ธ A Gentle Invitation into Plant Spirit Medicine
Aromatherapy is more than a beautiful scent.
It is the soul of the plant โ distilled, concentrated, and ready to whisper to the body, heart, and spirit.
Through aroma, memory awakens.
Through breath, the nervous system softens.
Through sacred blending, transformation begins.
In my practice, aromatherapy isnโt clinical.
Itโs intuitive, energetic, and ceremonial.
It is a conversation with the green world โ and the ancient wisdom that lives within the leaves, roots, resins, and blossoms.
โจ So What Is Aromatherapy?
At its simplest, aromatherapy is the use of essential oils โ potent plant extracts โ to support health, wellbeing, and emotional balance.
But for me, it's also...
๐ฟ Plant spirit medicine โ connecting with the energetic imprint of a plant
๐ธ Anointing the body as a sacred act of presence and prayer
๐ฏ๏ธ Creating ritual through scent, memory, and mood
๐ฌ๏ธ Altering our state through the limbic system โ the brainโs emotional and intuitive centre
Aromatherapy works on multiple levels:
Physical (soothing muscles, skin, immune system)
Emotional (easing anxiety, uplifting mood, inviting calm)
Energetic (clearing auric residue, inviting soul states, anchoring intention)
๐งช How Are Essential Oils Made?
Essential oils are the concentrated lifeblood of a plant, most often made through:
Steam distillation (for leaves, flowers, woods)
Cold pressing (for citrus peels)
Solvent extraction or COโ (for delicate flowers or resins)
It can take hundreds of petals or kilos of bark to make a single bottle.
This is why I work with great reverence โ only blending what is needed, using ethical, high-vibration oils, and never diluting the integrity of the plant.
๐บ My Approach to Aromatherapy
I blend with my heart, my hands, and my lineage โ
but also with the grounded wisdom of years of study and practice.
My background as a qualified aromatherapist, energy healer, and holistic counsellor allows me to approach each oil with reverence โ not only for its scent, but for its chemistry, energetics, and soul story.
When I blend, I consider:
The plantโs traditional and energetic medicine
Its chemical components and physical effects
Its emotional and spiritual imprint
How it interacts with the seasons, elements, and the person receiving it
Some blends are crafted to shift frequency.
Others are made to soothe the skin, release tension, calm inflammation, or ease headaches โ yet even these are deeply multi-layered, acknowledging that physical discomfort often holds an emotional root.
This is the beauty of plant spirit medicine.
It doesnโt separate. It integrates.
Just like we are not separate from our spirit, our skin is not separate from our story.
๐ซ How Aromatherapy is Woven into My Work
Aromatherapy is one of the core threads in my Soul Nest Sanctuary โ
supporting healing, ceremony, and everyday soul care.
I use it in:
๐ Healing Sessions โ to clear energy, anoint energy centres, support nervous system regulation, and open the subtle body
๐ฅ Ceremonies โ to create sacred space, deepen presence, and anchor intention
๐งด Physical Remedies โ custom blends for skin issues, joint pain, headaches, or hormone support โ always created with care, knowledge, and a soul-aware lens
๐ฟ Daily Rituals โ rollers, mists, and bath oils that support emotional grounding, creativity, clarity, or protection
Each bottle is more than just a blend โ
itโs a living invitation to tend yourself in a new way.
๐ผ How to Use Aromatherapy in Daily Life
Aromatherapy isnโt only for ceremony โ it can be a thread through everyday life:
Mist your aura in the morning to anchor your energy
Anoint your heart or wrists before meditation or creative work
Add a few drops to your bath and sink into stillness
Diffuse oils to shift the emotional landscape of your space
Use rollers as energetic protection or a wearable ritual
Itโs a return to simplicity โ a remembering that healing can be beautiful, sensual, and easeful.
๐๏ธ A Note on Safety & Sourcing
All blends I create are:
Made with ethically sourced, high-grade essential oils
Carefully diluted to be safe for skin and long-term use
Created in small batches to ensure potency and presence
Crafted intuitively, with both clinical knowledge and energetic alignment
I donโt follow trends. I follow the plants. And I listen.
