Women’s Health Aromatherapy
What is Women’s Health Aromatherapy?.
Women’s Health Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils specifically tailored to support the unique physical, emotional, and hormonal needs of women. It addresses various stages of our life, including menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and overall wellbeing. By using natural plant extracts, Women’s Health Aromatherapy helps alleviate symptoms like menstrual pain, hormonal imbalances, mood swings, and stress, while promoting relaxation, balance, and well-being.
This holistic approach supports women in managing their health naturally, enhancing both physical and emotional well-being.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the aromatic essence of the plant, extracted from the leaves, flowers, fruits, bark, seeds, roots or resins and they contain plants’ defence mechanisms. Essential oils are powerful healing agents and their properties range greatly. They can help with a broad spectrum of conditions including skin problems like psoriasis, eczema or fungal infections, chronic pain, digestive issues and offer emotional and psychological support. They have been used for thousands of years not only for their medicinal & fragrant properties, but also in rituals to achieve spiritual connection.
Methods of Application
- Massage: The most common method, combining the benefits of touch with the healing properties of essential oils for a deep, holistic treatment.
- Other Methods: Essential oils can also be used in baths, compresses, skincare, or inhaled.

A big re-introduction to Pam Smillie, who leads Pilates sessions at Moon twice and week (Wed & Fri) with a particular focus on strength and mobility and has recently become part of the Holistic Baby & Infant Clinic team (first Wed of the month) – see our bio for more details.
Over to Pam 👇
Hi I’m Pam, a Pilates teacher and massage therapist.
I’ve been practising Pilates for over fifteen years and a qualified comprehensive Pilates instructor for seven years. I’ve been a massage therapist for too long to remember.
I teach Pilates from my home studio as well as Moon, Muswell Hill Pilates and Kentish Town Pilates studios. I’m particularly interested in clinical work, rehabbing people back to full mobility from pregnancy, injury or surgery. I love the mind body connection using breath and focused movement.
I’m a firm believer in community, particularly in the disconnect of the city. Moon offers a space to come together for support and friendly faces, giving us a sense of belonging. I’m also involved with Friends of Foxham, running the kiosk in the playground and inviting local groups to utilise this lovely space.
Some other things I love doing that involve the juggle of life:
I’m an involved mother to two children. One teen and one about to be teen… Whoever said it gets easier!?
I love to move every day and recently begun doing weights, which has had a big impact on my Pilates practice and running. I also love to play tennis, but sadly not at the competitive level, I used to play BC (before children).
My dog Suki is a beautiful Labradoodle who I walk for a couple of hours a day. The fresh air and dog community gives me much joy and time to think. She can often sneaks into my studio to keep me and my client’s company during Pilates sessions.
Cooking and nutrition are a passion. I try not to get bogged down in the mundane task of meal planning. But focus on feeding my family a varied, tasty and healthy diet. Getting my vegetarian daughter to actually eat vegetables requires kitchen wizardry at times.
I look forward to seeing you in class and welcoming you to the community.
