Clare has over 40 years experience working with people who have felt the need to look towards natural therapy for help with their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Aromatherapy - Aromatic oils are derived from flowers, leaves, fruits, resins and herbs. Specific oils are used for certain health problems. The oils are massaged into the skin to help strengthen the immune system and bring about an internal balance.
Bach Flower Remedies - 36 flower remedies were discovered by Dr. E. Bach. He utilised the energy of the plants for healing. Many of the original plant locations are still used today. The plant energy is used for emotional states, such as worry, anxiety, fears etc. The Doctor said that a person's state of mind can be the primary cause of sickness.
