Helping you find a little more ease, one rest at a time
About Me
Hello, my name is Nic.
If you find yourself here because life feels overwhelming, exhausting or uncertain, I am here to help.
I offer gentle, personalised aromatherapy massage treatments designed to help you slow down, breathe and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re living with illness, recovering from cancer treatment or navigating life around care responsibilities, your relaxation time will leave you feeling calmer, comforted and revived.
I am an Aromatherapist and Certified Oncology Massage Therapist with experience working in Palliative care. I will take time to understand what support you need and I adapt every treatment around what is most important to you that day. Each visit is thoughtfully adapted to create a calm and nurturing experience that nourishes your body, mind and spirit.

Why Aromatherapy and Weleda Advocacy?
I came to Aromatherapy after losing my mum to metastatic breast cancer in 2018. Supporting Mum through her diagnosis, treatment and palliative care changed me. Mum received excellent medical care but I saw how vital psychological support was , for all of us. We all needed moments of comfort, kindness and genuine human connection. As we saw Mum decline it was very hard for any of us to take care of ourselves properly (and was juggling parenting small children as well). Through my grief, I recognised the importance of self-care, physically and mentally. I joined Weleda as an Advocate and being part of the community was a balm to my heart. I was inspired to train as an Aromatherapist to help others facing illness, grief and life’s many challenges in an holisitic, heart centred way.
My approach
Every relaxation session is different because every person is different. Some days you may need quiet and deep relaxation. Some days you may want to talk. My hope is that you will always leave feeling that you have been genuinely looked after
I carefully select organic essential oils to complement each treatment (with appropriate cautions when someone may be more sensitive to aroma’s and skin care products while going through chemotherapy). I particularly love Weleda face and body care products for their gentle, restorative qualities. I am an Weleda Advocate and have received training in all of Weleda’s natural medicine and skincare ranges.
My experience
I qualified with a level 3 diploma on Aromatherapy in May 2021. I volunteered at Charlies, the Cancer support and therapy centre, for 1.5 years to develop my skills and understanding of supporting people affected by cancer. I provided Complementary Therapies to patients and loved ones at the Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court hospice in Cheltenham for 2 years. Sadly I was made redundant from Sue Ryder in April 2026 so I now practice privately.
I am trained in the HEARTS Process, developed at The Christie Hospital to support people receiving end of life care. I completed that training as part of a Level 5 Integrative Therapies Diploma (due to complete in 2027). I also teach people self care techniques to help reduce anxiety and panic attacks.
Relaxation treatments can be adapted for people who are fully mobile, have limited mobility or are bedbound, using massage with or without essential oils and either directly on the skin or through clothing. I welcome clients to my treatment room in Kingsholm and also offer home visits for those who find travelling difficult.
What you can expect from a visit
There is no ‘standard treatment’. Every person who visits needs something different. I listen carefully to what has brought you to me, how you’re feeling and what you need help with. We will work together to create a gentle, restorative wellbeing boost.
For some people, a relaxing treatment may be a full body aromatherapy massage on the couch. For others it may be a seated treatment, gentle hand or foot massage, or acupressure through clothing. Massage doesn’t need to involve lying face down on a couch to be deeply restorative. Some people enjoy peaceful silence; others find relaxation opens the door to conversations they’ve been holding onto. Both are equally welcome.
Gentle, unhurried touch can offer comfort, warmth, reassurance and a sense of being cared for, particularly at times when life feels difficult or overwhelming. Whatever your relaxation time looks like, my hope is that you’ll leave feeling calmer, lighter and deeply cared for.
