Using essential oils and gentle yet powerful techniques developed from ancient Egyptian and Native American energy principles, to treat all of the senses – body, mind and spirit.
Raindrop Technique is a gentle yet powerful technique developed from ancient Egyptian and Native American energy principles. These are combined with the Ancient Tibetan reflexology, various massage techniques and the power of therapeutic-grade essential oils, to create a truly unique and wonderful experience. There are many benefits from Raindrop Technique because the spinal column contains nerves that feed the entire body.
It is a treat to all of the senses, and to body, mind and spirit. The technique is usually performed in silence, giving you the opportunity to sink into a deep state of relaxation and inner connection. Many people drift off to sleep when they receive Raindrop Technique, aided by the relaxing effects of the essential oils.
Raindrop Technique usually focuses on the back and neck, and also the reflex points of the feet (especially the ‘spinal’ reflex). The oils are dropped like rain onto the spine and then lightly applied using various hand and body techniques. The penetrating effects of the essential oils allow it to be felt through the entire body.
Raindrop Technique is performed using only 100% therapeutic-grade essential oils that are guaranteed to be free of any and all chemical adulteration. It usually takes 45 to 60 minutes, however extra time may be needed for your first session.
The Raindrop Technique can have many benefits since it is a detoxifying process. It may help rid any toxins and bacteria that are deep within the body and may provide a boost to the immune system. It may also help realign the spine, reduce stress, and relieve body pain and tension.
Wonderfully soothing and relaxing, the powerful oils through the Raindrop Technique work synergistically up to seven days after the treatment.

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils. Essential oils are natural plant extracts. The oils are distilled from all parts of the plants - flowers, leaves, stalks, bark, rind, or roots. They are able to kill microorganisms while supporting the immune system. At the same time, upon inhalation, essential oils like Orange support our emotional health by enhancing our mood, or, in the case of Lavender, by calming us.
In the hands of a qualified therapist, essential oils are the only remedy that can be used to treat internally, externally and vibrationally, making them truly wholistic. As a qualified therapist I can customise a blend and method of application to meet your individual needs.
Aromatherapy is both an ancient art and a modern science, however products using the term ‘Aromatherapy’, commonly found on supermarket shelves, should not be confused with the therapeutic work of a qualified Aromatherapist. It is more than a smelly massage!
What can it do for you?
Aromatherapy encourages us to connect with our inner selves through the simple process of inhalation. The very action of breathing in quiets us, focusing our attention on the experience and aroma at hand. Once we develop a relationship with essential oils, we are much more attuned to the plants they come from, and in my opinion, to the natural world as a whole. The centering and awareness that comes about is soothing to both the body and the mind.
Essential oils:
Several recent studies have begun to confirm what many in the aromatherapy world already know: aromatherapy works! Tea Tree, Cinnamon, and Thyme have been shown to be highly effective against MRSA infections, and Lavender has been shown to significantly improve the quantity and quality of sleep and to calm and relax.
Aromatherapy is a very personal experience. An aroma that appeals to me may not appeal to you and vice versa. Because of this, the blending opportunities are endless and we can develop blends at an individual level. I look forward to creating a blend just for you to assist you with your health and wellbeing needs.

How Essential Oils Work
The fragrance of essential oils can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. Essential oils are unique in that they work differently than other natural substances.
When any scent or fragrance is inhaled, the odour molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes that are protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odour molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cell sites that line a membrane, known as the olfactory epithelium. Each one of these hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced every 28 days. When stimulated by odour molecules, this lining of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory centre (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system of the brain.
Studies at New York University showed and proved that the amygdala gland (the gland in the limbic system responsible for storing and releasing trauma in the body) does not respond at all to sound, sight, or touch. They found in fact that the amygdala only releases emotional trauma through the sense of smell. It is through our sense of smell and aromatherapy that we can make lasting changes.
Because the limbic system is directly connected to the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, therapeutic-grade essential oils can have profound physiological and psychological effects. The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, our emotional control centre.
Scent stimulates nerves to fire in the emotional centre of the brain, but it also stimulates the master gland to release hormones. Hormones affect the fight/flight response, as well as digestion and heart rate. In this way, essential oils can affect us in many ways all at once, just through their fragrance.
Anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all emanate from this region. The scent of a special fragrance can evoke memories and emotions before we are even consciously aware of it. When smells are concerned, we react first and think later. All other senses (touch, taste, hearing, and sight) are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the conscious thought centre) and other parts of the brain.
Now of course, only a therapeutic-grade essential oil can provide benefits such as these and isn't it nice to know that we have such superior quality essential oils right here through Young Living!
There are significant differences between synthetic fragrance oils and pure essential oils. All Young Living Essential Oils are pure. There are 4 grades of essential oils.
Synthetic fragrance oils may duplicate the smell of the pure botanical, but the complex chemical components of each essential oil created in nature determine its true benefits. In other words, synthetic fragrance oils will not have the medicinal properties; they are NOT suitable for aromatherapy.
Strict attention to detail—from the seeds sown to the plants harvested—ensures that the oils you obtain from Young Living are the purest, most potent essential oils available. This precise, detailed method is known as the Seed to Seal process.
