The Secret Healer

20/03/2026

Recently, I posted a video about how I am concerned that the mind-body-spirit aspect of aromatherapy is being threatened, by the way that AI understands us (Clinical Vs Spiritual, as opposed to Clinical encompassing A Spiritual Dimension) and the way we focus so much on empirical evidence.

There, I suggested that people contacted me if they were interested in learning how to work with the subtle bodies in the way we were taught in Britain in the 90s.

Back then my mother, Jill Bruce was a pioneer, not only in aromatherapy, but also how it could be used to influence the aura. She spent forty years studying how the etheric bodies related to one another, what they were capable of spiritually and how they affected the physical body, and then finally how they interacted with essential oils.

After spending many years working with vibrational aromatherapy myself, I am now ready to answer that call that so many of you made that I teach you, not only how to see the aura using dowsing, but how to detect trauma, memories and disease in the etheric fields. Once you have learned that, I shall show you how to map it so it can be used in practice, and finally how to influence and heal the field using essential oils and vibrational aromatherapy.

This video introduces you to the work.

I hope you will consider joining me.

Recently, I have noticed a lot of aromatherapists recommending that we should now refer to Boswellia carterii Frankincense under its newly asserted botanical name "Boswellia sacra (Flück).

While I see the argument for doing this, I am going to assert that this is not a good idea. That is has the capacity to be damaging to therapeutic practice and that, in fact, I point blank refuse to do so.

This post outlines the reasons for rethinking this advice.

The Hidden Secrets of Hojari and B.OccultaBy Elizabeth AshleyThe species with the Latin name Boswellia carterii (Birdwood) is officially no more. It might sound like the apocalyptic cry of extinction of the resin—but thank goodness, it’s nothing of the sort. Instead, as aromatherapists, we are b...

The dawn of 2026 has made me reflective about what I want me work to stand for. Who is my community, who do I serve? These were bigger questions for me than just some marketing brief, I wanted to think of ways I could better use my skills and purpose to as a spiritual endeavour.

In the absence of a person to help me chart that journey, I have turned to astronomy, and the transits of the asteroid Vesta, who represents Sacred Service in astrology.

I thought you might find the reasons why I have done it interesting, and to find ways you might also be able to use the Vesta Director Framework to inform your own vocational and spiritual practices.

I'd love to hear of ways you have framed new years practical resolutions.

On the run up the Christmas, we hear the word frankincense many times...but what is it, where did it come from and what in Heaven's name does it have to do with the Queen of Sheba.

I recorded this in lockdown and it never ceases to make me giggle. I have no recollection of writing it, or rehearsing, yet I must have done because it the amount of stuff I remember is phenomenal.

So fascinating, thinking of the journey of the resins all those years ago.

So why make a video on "How Aromatherapy Works"?

Well, Dexter and I have been working really hard at understanding how to YouTube because our ambition is to shift how aromatherapy is represented there.. away from quick fixes and to try to move it more towards professional depth.

(Just a small thing then!)

So here’s our first step…

The most basic aspects of our therapy, but going really, really deep.

Now, YouTube is a fairly good judge of quality, but it does rely on engagement from viewers to decide if its something it would like to recommend to other watchers, so...

Here's my wishlist....
1. Ideally watch it, to the end if possible. The algorithm records how fast people click away, so if you are bored, you have my permission to mute it while you do the ironing. That will really help!
2. Please ike and comment...or even share if you do like it.
3. Best of all, if you stay to watch another video, which will make the algorithm positvely ecstatic!

Meanwhile, a massive thanks in advance for your eyes, ears and interest. I hope I do it a good service :

Adam and Vanessa Jean asked me to have a look at one of the new oils that DoTerra have released. Schisandra is a really important Chinese medicine and I was interested to see what properties this new oil might have. I think it might be something rather special. Why not see for yourself?

I'm sorry for being late posting this week's post about the sacral chakra! What a fascinating journey it has been, filing all about the physical aspects of sacral chakra dis-ease, then thinking about oils to support those pivotal ones to heal. Thinking about the sacral chakra oils for the emotions with Adam, and then I sunk down in the Red Tent and thought about some bee wisdom to go with the spirital aspects of the oils. So many ways to look at the same set of information. I have loved it. There are five videos in the post, something for everyone. I hope that you will watch, like and share :)

Creating this week's content about essential oils for sacral chakra work sent me down a research rabbit hole that completely shifted how I understand this energy center. What started as planning a few aromatherapy videos became a fascinating investigation into what these teachings actually meant bef...
