First of all, thank you so much for being here, for supporting my small business and for your interest in women's health and wellness. For over 12 years, I've been working in the natural health industry after training as a Clinical Aromatherapist, traditional Herbalist and in holistic massage. My love for living a natural holistic life has motivated me to learn about holistic/alternative health practices, to share this knowledge with others and to support other women seeking a more natural lifestyle. My studies of interest include holistic massage methods, trauma informed approaches, lymphatic drainage, reflexology and art therapy. My work over the years has led me to focus on helping other women navigate through issues that specifically affect us and our bodies which undergo so much as we move through our lives, taking on so many roles and responsibilities. This understanding has shaped my approach to my work in aromatherapy and massage to support the body through phases of our lives as well as the release of stored stress, trauma by supporting and regulating the nervous system. The name Cedarwood Wellness emerged from my deep love for the world around me and from the deep sense of peace and calm that I have found by spending time outside in nature. As a working artist, I am continuously drawn to nature and its beauty. It inspires me both in my approach to wellness but also in my artwork. When I need to recharge, I am immediately drawn to the outdoors. I find it deeply grounding and comforting to spend time on a hike, amongst the trees of the forest, breathing in the fresh air and contemplating the beautiful planet we live on. From these, I have learned lessons that I carry with me. Cedarwood Wellness is more than a name to me. It is a reminder of stability and connection. Recently, I have combined my holistic services with the addition of individualized art classes. The cathartic nature of creating in a mindful space can help us to learn to introspect, find resolution, and find peace and joy in creating. This opportunity to be creative through self expression can have a profound ability to affect how we cope with stress. I also offer group art classes that are fun and a great way to connect with others. Situated in a beautiful forested community, my hope is that you will find sanctuary, a place where you can find healing, rest and connection.
