INVISIBLE STRESS

Posted in Aromatherapy, Personal development, Stress, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 13, 2010 | 2 Comments »

(Escher: Labyrinth) I am working with a young woman who suffers from an invisible, high-level stress. Her stress comes from inside and even though she’s plenty busy, this is not the source of her problems. The first signs were head-aches that over time became both more frequent and painful. Then she became aggressive and worried. [...]

STRONGER THAN YOU THINK – BELIEVE IT!

I have had a client with Multiple Sclerosis. She was diagnosed in her late teens, 20 years ago, so this has been a part of her life most of her life. She was surprisingly mobile considering how long she had been ill, but as it goes with MS, it comes in waves, each time leaving [...]

TOO MUCH PARTY IN THE COLD

Posted in Aromatherapy, Wellness, medicine, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I went to Sweden over the weekend to celebrate my daughters graduation. This event is always outdoors, which is fine when (if) the sun is shining – it wasn’t. At least the rain stopped in time. In cold, drizzly and gray weather I have stood outdoors dressed in a pretty summer-dress with only a thin [...]

(picture from: catwalkfashion.co.uk/…/healthy-skin-month.jpg) Skin Acid Mantle – sound familiar? It should, it is the largest and first protection we have. SAM is a layer of bacteria that covers our entire body. There are plenty of different bacteria, all specialists in their fields. For example, we have the little guy (the lash-sweeper) who comes out and [...]

GOAL-SETTING

Posted in Aromatherapy, Lifestyle, Personal development, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Lately I have been wrapping my head around the whole idea of goal-setting, really trying to break it down into the smallest possible components. Goals are like onions; layer upon layer, each layer hiding the one beneath…no wonder it can be so difficult to set goals. I think most of us are the same; when [...]

MOOD-SWINGS

Posted in Aromatherapy, Lifestyle, Scents, Stress, Wellness, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 11, 2010 | 3 Comments »

We all get them; mood-swings. They usually kick in when we least of all expect it, and isn’t it strange that they only go in one direction…down? Or maybe we do have positive mood-swings, sudden bursts of inexplicable joy and happiness – of course we do, but they aren’t a problem, they are pure bliss. [...]

SMELL YOURSELF WELL

Posted in Aromatherapy, Scents, medicine, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on February 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I found this article and wanted to share it. A lot of what is said here is what aromatherapy is all about, and then, amusingly enough, prof. Jacobs (halfway through the article) calls aromatherapy nonsense…this I call ignorance. True, some claims to what aromatherapy can do are not realistic and there tends to be this [...]

Posted in Aromatherapy, Scents, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on February 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Some years ago I was part of a scientific group concentrating on olfaction. I was invited as an aromatherapist to join the group in their endeavours to unravel the mysteries of scent and what scent does to us. The other members of the group were chemists, biologists, physicists and reps from the culinary and artistic [...]

VALENTINE

My grandfathers name was Valentine. My father in law died on Valentines day, I found it sort of beautiful; he was so ill – and old – that his passing actually became an act of love. My mother in law said it was because he hated the whole thing, and she was probably right, but [...]
