ABOUT

Joy ShawWell the story is quite simple really. I'm not a content creator or a performer. I'm someone who likes people, nature, travel and making things. A bit of a rule bender, I tend to do things from the heart more than the head. I'm pretty authentic, what you see is what you get.

I was an NHS specialist nurse for many years, then eventually embarked on many years training in complimentary and massage therapies. Whilst still working in the NHS, I set up my own little spa business - New Hall Therapies - continuing my learning and training and specialising in trauma release massage therapy. Working with people who had been touched by a vast range of issues, both physically and mentally over the years, both NHS and beyond, and along with my own life challenges, I came to realise that the way we feel and the choices we make can dramatically alter our journey of life, health and wellness.

It was whilst making my own oil blends for clients, and in my spare time creating my candles, that I decided training as an aromatherapist could help me to understand how essential oils work on our mind and body and how they actually help as a therapy as well as smelling divine. And thats where it started. Many more training courses later, trials, tribulations, blendings, testings, designings, we are on the train as it were!

The pinacle of our ethos and spirit is authenticity and supporting wellbeing. You might say it's a soul led business. So as a qualified aromatherapist, nurse and holistic practitioner I personally blend, test and trial essential oil combinations so that the aromatherapy fragrances are unique to us. I take pride in designing and creating small batches of unique handmade, plant-based natural products that are cruelty-free and do not contain parabens, synthetic fragrances, dyes or additives. Not a single nasty.

All with love from Mother Nature and me x
