What is aromatherapy? how does it work?
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to promote health and well-being. Essential oils are each composed of hundreds of different constituents. It's the combination and amount of constituents that determine the properties of the essential oil. These oils can be applied topically or through inhalation. Used topically, the oils are absorbed into your skin and enter your bloodstream. When inhaled, the essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves straight to the brain.
Is aromatherapy for me?
Aromatherapy can help with many conditions; stress, anxiety and sleep being the most common. However, aromatherapy can also help with skin, digestive, respiratory, menstrual, muscular, circulatory, lymphatic, excretory, endocrine, neurological, skeletal, nervous and immune conditions.
tell me about the aromatherapist's qualifications
Deena Peters completed a 600 hour advanced aromatherapy certification program and is a Certified Aromatherapist.
aromatherapy consultations
An aromatherapy consultation involves completing some forms and then a discussion with the aromatherapist regarding current conditions, a medical background and medications. The aromatherapist works with you to find a blend that is both pleasant and convenient for you to use. The aromatherapist will look for the opportunity to use a holistic blend where possible as symptoms can be related.
After your appointment the aromatherapist may need to do some research on your condition or the essential oils that would be most beneficial. The aromatherapist will also ensure that the chosen oils are safe for you with no contraindications or risks with any medication or other conditions.
Please bring a list of medications and a face mask with you. These appointments are 60 minutes and are $60 plus the cost of your blend.

"Deena took the time to ensure that she understood what my issues were and to make sure that the oil she prepared would have a pleasant aroma. I enjoyed using it and still carry it in my backpack to use when needed. I would recommend this service anytime."

"I love having a scent that is customized just for me, where I choose the scents that resonate with me to create my own blend. In the end, this means I have a scent that helps me sleep and one I also enjoy the scent (very important!), rather than a generic blend that is ‘created for the masses’. Working with Deena was a very fun and positive experience. I now have a scent I enjoy, and one that has me sleeping much better!"
