Hello, my name is Nic. I live in Gloucester with my husband, 2 boys and 3 cats.
I fulfilled a long held dream when I qualified as an Aromatherapist in 2021. Complementary therapies had provided life changing support to me through various trials (infertility, bereavement, mental health struggles). The opportunity to train as a complementary therapist came after my Mum died from metastatic breast cancer in 2018. By then I’d come to believe that true health is about physical, emotional and mental balance, not just an absence of disease.
Since qualifying as an Aromatherapist I have completed pregnancy massage training and am a certified Oncology massage therapist. I was a volunteer therapist at Charlies, the Cancer Support and Therapy centre in Gloucester for 1.5 years. I am now employed as a Complementary Therapist at the Sue Ryder Hospice in Leckhampton, offering therapeutic support to community hub clients, in-patients at the hospice and their loved ones and those receiving end of life care at home. I’m currently enrolled in the Integrative Therapies for Cancer and Supportive Care diploma at the The Christie School of Oncology in Manchester.
Aromatherapy massage feels magical to me. Using essential oils supports your body’s natural ability to recuperate and can ease symptoms of distress (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual). Uniquely blended plant oils applied to your skin through gentle massage balances mind, body and soul and gifts deep relaxation and relief. I use organic plant oils, made with love by growers who are paid fairly, and whole heartedly believe the quality of oils we use impacts our healing at more than a physical level. We are nature and deserve the best.
