A garden should do more than look good, it should smell unforgettable 🌿

I am so pleased to be asked to give a talk for the Reynoldston Gardening Club where I will be exploring aromatic plants, not just herbs, but scented flowers, leaves, resins and roots, and those plants that quietly release their fragrance as you brush past.

As an aromatherapist, I will share how these plants can lift the mood, calm the mind, and bring a deeper sensory layer to your garden.

If you’re drawn to scent, plants, and a more immersive way of gardening, come and join us on the 8th of April, in Reynoldston Village Hall at 7pm 🌙

✨🌸 Spring Equinox Gratitude 🌸✨

Feeling the gratitude for everyone who joined the Spring Equinox meditation at Temple Wellness Centre on Wednesday . Thank you for coming for your openness, and for sharing such a beautiful, calm and connected space 💛

Today is the the day that we actually mark the Spring Equinox, a significant threshold, a moment where light and dark stand as equals, reminding us of the balance within our own lives between rest and action, holding on and letting go, who we have been and who we are becoming.

It invites us to gently release the heaviness of winter and open ourselves to new growth, new energy, and new possibilities 🌿

We step into that energy grounding, releasing, softening, and allowing something new to begin.

🌿 I release what no longer serves me.
🌿 I welcome what is ready to grow.
🌿 I move forward in balance and trust.

✨ The energy of today doesn’t end here it continues to unfold, gently, in the days and weeks ahead.

Spring is stirring here at Temple Wellness 🌿

The skies over Parkmill have turned that clear, hopeful blue and Oh to see the sunshine and feel its soft warmth on your skin. 🩷

The birds are singing as if they know something beautiful is unfolding.

The daffodils are in full bloom, bright and beautiful scattered like little blessings across the land. And soon the valley will be a flowing carpet of wild garlic, its fresh, green scent carried gently on the breeze, earthy, alive, unmistakably spring.

There’s a quiet enchantment to this season in Wales. Not loud or showy just a steady awakening. A remembering. The land stretching, breathing, coming back to herself.
And we feel it too. Such a magical place to be.

✨ The Face Behind the Name ✨

Hi, I’m Helen ,the face behind the business 👋

Before retraining as a therapist, I spent 11 years as a science teacher. I’ve always had a very “science brain” and love problem-solving which is one of the reasons sports therapy suits me so well. But I also have a deeply holistic side, and aromatherapy is where that truly comes alive.

I have now been working as an aromatherapist and sports therapist for the past 10 years.
My passion for aromatherapy began in childhood, making lotions and potions in the garden, and it’s grown into a lifelong love. I have also used aromatherapy to support myself through life’s challenges, which makes the work I do feel very personal and meaningful.

I live back where I grew up, in the heart of Gower, and moved home nearly two years ago.
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me outside with my goats, taking mindful moments just looking, listening, and smelling, properly soaking in nature. You can’t beat those quiet field moments 🌿

Home life is full with two teenagers, two cats, two dogs, and three goats so there’s never a dull day!

I offer a wide range of treatments, always tailored to each individual, because every body and every story is different.

Thank you for being here and supporting what I do 🤍

Between clients at Temple Wellness yesterday I took a nervous system reset with fast water, sunlight, and birdsong.

Not every day is calm.

Regulation isn’t about stopping the flow, it’s about meeting it with awareness.

Try this with me:

Look. Listen. Breathe.

Stay with what’s here in the moment.

Save this for your next reset moment.
