Bespoke Aroma N 2010 my husband and I, along with our two young children, relocated to the Lake District from the Midlands where I had been an Advisory Teacher specialising in health and well-being. I wanted a new
challenge so retrained in an area I have always had a passion for - Aromatherapy. I started off as a mobile therapist. A friend undergoing treatment for breast cancer was struggling to find something to use on her skin safely. After much research, I produced an oil for her with a blend of particularly nurturing oils. Soon, I was making aromatherapy blends for my massage clients to aid their relaxation and target any specific issues they had. This naturally led onto them asking me for oils and balms to help with other skin related issues such as dry, irritated or congested skin. Through research I made sample products for them which had such fantastic feedback that I then went on to make them available to others through my website, www.bespokearoma.co.uk
