Aromatherapy

We are very pleased to have Christine Code, a fully qualified aromatherapist, regularly visiting our residents for a group aromatherapy session.  She will also see residents on a one to one basis if they would like.  

Aromatherapy is the ancient practice of using extracted essences (essential oils) from flowers, leaves, seeds, fruit and woods to promote health and well-being of the body and mind.  It is one of the most popular complementary approaches to the management of stress and have been proved to be useful in treating people who are very anxious, disorientated or have disturbed sleep due to developing dementia.
