Aromatherapy

We all experience stress, and we tend to think it's normal to always be 'on'. Work, family, friends, hobbies, life—everything moves at a rapid pace, and we often forget to take good care of ourselves. Suddenly, you realize... it's too much. Sometimes you only notice when you can no longer relax, when your sleep worsens, or when your immune system struggles. Are you always getting colds? Do you constantly suffer from headaches or other pains? It’s quite possible that stress is catching up with you.

Stress, pain complaints, and sleep problems often go hand in hand. If they don’t, they tend to follow one another.

I am a HBO-trained clinical aromatherapist specializing in naturopathy at Fytarom, and I focus on regulating stress, sleep, and pain issues. I do this with essential oils, body-oriented relaxation techniques, and a holistic, broad perspective. Body, mind, environment, and sense of purpose are always interconnected for me.

How does it work?

Scents have a direct effect on the brain. When you smell something, your nose sends a signal to the amygdala and hippocampus—areas in your brain involved with emotions, memory, and stress responses. A scent that you find pleasant can influence your feelings and even your heart rate within seconds.

Additionally, essential oils contain active compounds. These substances can be absorbed through the skin or mucous membranes and influence, among other things, the nervous system, immune system, and hormonal balance. Some compounds help promote relaxation, while others have stimulating or pain-relieving effects. The choice of essential oil depends entirely on your situation and what is needed.

There has been quite a bit of research into aromatherapy, and its effects are becoming better understood.

What you can expect from me:

– I give you my full attention.

– Time and space to share your story.

– A treatment plan tailored to you.

– Customized products with clear explanations.

How do I work?

Before our first appointment, you will receive a comprehensive health questionnaire from me. You fill it out at home and send it back. This gives me a good initial picture of your health, symptoms, and any medication use.

The first consultation lasts 90 minutes. We discuss the questionnaire and explore what’s going on for you. What are your complaints? What do you long for? And what do you need?

Afterwards, I will propose a treatment plan. If you feel comfortable with it, we will proceed. If you have any questions or concerns, I will adjust the plan and send it again for your approval.

Follow-up consultations last 60 minutes. We discuss what has changed, what works well, and what could be improved. If necessary, I will adjust the treatment plan. Consultations often include massages and/or foot baths.

I also often prepare customized products for you, such as massage oils, bath salts, topical oils, day/night creams, or inhalation sticks. Ingestible capsules are also possible. Everything I provide comes with a clear leaflet, so you know how to use it at home and what to expect. This way, the treatment extends beyond the treatment room in my practice. The products you have agreed upon are always ready for you at your next appointment.
