I was introduced to integrated medicine (or alternative medicine, as it was coined in those days) philosophy and practice, and meditation (each dynamic dovetailed with the other), over fifty years ago. During those early years I worked as junior secretary for the Company Secretary of Lewis-Selfridges (London), but surrendered this role when Robert Tisserand invited me join his fledgling business. And so began my 'essential oil journey'. I was awarded a Bachelor of Science (Joint Honours) Degree in Counselling and Complementary Medicine (2:1), post graduate Masters Certificates in Integrated Mindfulness, and Supervision of Counsellors, and a Post Graduate (Adult) Teaching Certificate (PGCE) (2001/2002 University of Salford and University of Bolton respectively).I joined the Complementary Medicine team, University of Salford (School of Health Sciences and Social Care, now the School of Health and Society) in 2002, as programme lead for B.Sc. Integrated Therapy in Practice and B.Sc. Complementary Therapy in Practice, module lead for Aromatherapy, Supervision and CPD, Communication and Professional skills, and managed the in-house aromatherapy clinic for staff and students. I joined the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA) (2002) and was awarded a certificate of Fellowship in 2009 (roles included Council Member, Chair of Education, Examiner and curriculum development). I am also a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). Retiring from the University, I moved to Dorset, and currently reside in Lyme Regis. I signed a contract with Healing Arts Press, Inner Traditions (Vermont USA) in 2017, and have subsequently published three award-wining books through them: Healing with Essential Oils, Essential Oils for the Whole Body and Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation. I am the mother of four grown up children, and graced grandmother of twelve grandchildren.
