During the consultation we will get to know about your general health and how your pregnancy is progressing, also if there are any symptoms you are experiencing.  This is important to know to ensure that aromatherapy is right for you.

An individualised treatment will be discussed according to your needs and preferences to provide you with a bespoke service.

It is important to know any allergies or dislikes when it comes to the essential oils and we will ensure a blend is totally right for you before carrying out a treatment. We also will provide different options for application of the oils and advise on the use of any oils that we provide for you to take home.

Aromatherapy can have multiple benefits and is a popular choice in pregnancy however it must be ensured that the oils are of clinical grade and suitable for use in pregnancy as well as ensuring the correct dose for safety of mother and baby.
