Inspiring you to take control of your own health and well-being, to heal your body naturally. Welcome to my business, Lavender Tree Therapies.
(1)
Join me over in my group Holistic Well-being Hub where we can explore the deeper issues around living a longer, happier, healthier lifestyle. Why holistic therapies? Well because it has been holistic treatments that have helped me heal when my health and well-being hasn't been what it should be. Whilst working as an EMT (Emergency medical technician) I injured my back and it was acupuncture, McTimoney and reflexology that helped me heal. Whilst pharmaceutical medicine kept the pain at pay it was to a point that it didn't allow me a quality of life. Sadly, I had to retire from the job I loved but I found a way to be able to manage my injury without filling my body with pills. Fast forward a few years and I once again found myself in a place where my health was affecting my quality of life. Again pharmaceuticals weren't bringing me healing, they just managed the symptoms and they didn't even do that very well. During this time I was introduced to essential oils and I am so grateful. Using the oils not only brought me freedom in my own health and well-being issues but I saw it dramatically impacting family around me. This started me on a journey deeper into holistic health, firstly as a Wellness Advocate with doTERRA before then fulfilling a dream to train as a reflexologist. Fascinated by the body from my time as an EMT, both the complexity of it and yet the simplicity to and feet, who would have thought they could hold a key to supporting your body in such an incredible way! Last year saw me add AromaTouch which combines essential oils, acupressure and light massage for a deeply relaxing treatment. Then earlier this year I began some further training as a massage therapist and can now offer you Swedish massage (currently as a student) everything from a full body treatment to a facial massage and all at a discounted rate. The body has an inbuilt ability to heal itself and all three treatments will help give your body the reboot it needs to be able to find its way back into balance. Give your body the support it deserves and book yourself a treatment either by calling/messaging me on 07815 126617 or visit the website www.lavendertreetherapies.com

6 years ago I was just starting out with my reflexology case studies and here I am again only this time to complete my training as an Ayurvedic clinician.
Case study no:2 signed off. Really enjoyed delivering this today. Follow up in 4-6 weeks when I’ll find out how effective my protocol has been.

Ever wondered why you are unable to change some of your behaviour patterns or are unable to control certain feelings? The answer is probably tied up in your childhood 🤔
1. Your Nervous System Was Built in Childhood
Before you had language, your body was already learning:
“Is love safe?”
“Is comfort available?”
“Is the world predictable… or dangerous?”
If you grew up around chaos, shouting, silent treatment, neglect, or emotional distance, your nervous system wired itself for survival, not safety. That wiring doesn’t disappear, it follows you.
🔹 2. Your Attachment Blueprint Was Formed Before Age 12
Whether you chase love… avoid love… fear love… or struggle to keep it, you learned that from the emotional climate you grew up in.
Your adult relationships aren’t random.
They mirror the love you were taught to accept.
🔹 3. Childhood Wounds Hide Inside Adult Behaviors
You think it’s “just anxiety.”
You think it’s “just insecurities.”
You think it’s “just a type.”
But psychology calls them:
Unmet needs. Emotional neglect. Attachment wounds. Nervous system memory.
Adults don’t randomly:
• overthink
• shut down
• chase emotionally unavailable people
• fear abandonment
• struggle with boundaries
• over-apologize
• numb feelings
• feel unworthy
These are childhood defense mechanisms showing up in adult form.
4. Trauma Isn’t Only What Happened, It’s What Was Missing
Most people say “I wasn’t abused.”
But emotional neglect, lack of affection, lack of protection, and lack of validation shape you just as deeply.
A child who never felt “held” grows into an adult who never feels “safe.”
Not because you’re broken but because the child in you never got what they needed.
✨ The Truth
No, not everything goes back to childhood but the most painful patterns often do.
Because the body keeps score. The brain remembers. And the emotional wounds you weren’t allowed to talk about…show up as the behaviors you can’t explain today.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not “too much.”
You’re not damaged.
You’re carrying a story no one helped you process.
If this felt uncomfortably accurate, it’s because your inner child is asking to be seen.
✨ I Didn’t Choose to Be Born — for childhood trauma, emotional neglect & inner child healing.
✨ Chasing Love That Hurts — for breaking patterns that come from unmet childhood needs.
Belly button, tummy button, your naval lots of different names. For some people they hate it, others value that it gave them life.
How are you about yours?
In fact what seems to most of us as something fairly insignificant is actually a window to something incredible. Just as it brought life to us as unborn babies it remains connected to many vital organs through a vast number of veins and capillaries as well as our lymphatic system.
The simple act of applying a few drops of quality organic oil to your navel before bed can be profoundly soothing and beneficial for you, body and mind. Just gently massage it in, and let it work, it really is as simple as that.
What can you use it for?
* Detoxifying the body and stimulating digestion
* Relieving inflammation and joint pain
* Calming the mind and improving sleep
* Balancing hormones and enhancing reproductive health
* Nourishing and rejuvenating the skin from within
For a more targeted treatment you might also consider adding an essential oil to your carrier oil, that might be castor oil, neem, coconut, sesame, almond, h**p even ghee.
Do you fancy trying this at home?

Welcome to my business, Lavender Tree Therapies. Lavender Tree Therapies started with essential oils quite simply because they have brought me freedom and control over my own health and well-being and I want to be able to share that with others. I am now also practising reflexology, I am currently half way through my Level 3 training so currently treating as a student. I previously worked for Westcountry Ambulance Service as an EMT but following a back injury I left the job I loved. I love working with people and the body fascinates me so I wanted to be able to be able to combine the two.
Reflexology was one of the treatments that I discovered during my recovery and helped me cope with the subsequent decision I had to make in leaving the ambulance service. It encouraged my body to heal itself and helped significantly with the stress of leaving and the recovery from the toll working nights had taken on my body. It brought me a beautiful sense of calm and I had so much more energy. I am loving being able to now help other people on a journey to better health, helping to ease their stress and introducing more self care in to their busy lives.
What have essential oils done for me? I feel brighter and more energetic, I am no longer plagued with sinus, ear or chest infections requiring a double courses of antibiotics! My mental health is stronger, I am not constantly stressed, I am finally winning the battle with my weight and I am seeing huge changes within my family for using them to. I am learning a new way of life, getting back to the natural as much as possible not just with mental and physical health but also around the home replacing so many of my every day products.
What is an Essential Oil? It is a naturally occurring volatile aromatic compound found in the seeds, bark, roots, flowers and other parts of a plant. It is the plants protection against environmental threats as well as playing a role in plant pollination. Correctly sourced these intrinsic benefits along with the beautiful fragrances bring us a product that we can use for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They have long been used in food preparations, beauty treatments and health care practice.
Do you have health and well-being concerns that you would like to consider treating holistically? Do you want to be able to break away from the modern synthetic medicines and the constant invasion of chemicals into your home. I would love to chat to you about ways to make changes, about how essential oils could help you and your families or the benefits of reflexology. Please drop me a message and lets talk.
