Lindsay

Lindsay was inspired by the home-births of her four daughters to train as an active birth teacher.

 

"Back in the 1980’s when we were neighbours on a remote Welsh hillside, my friend Lindsay was my doula." - Jude

​

Lindsay’s love of gardening developed into a deep appreciation of the healing and helpful properties of plants.  She trained as a Holistic Aromatherapist with the 'London School of Aromatherapy' and then practiced within a variety of settings including mental health care and 'hospice at home', as well as making natural products. She has always worked with respect and consideration to help clients find a sense of peace and deep relaxation.

​

Teacher training enabled Lindsay to create the 'Welsh School of Aromatherapy'.  Later creating and running of the much-loved 'Mermaid Spa', in Portmeirion, North Wales, where she was able to employ therapists she had trained to ensure that a high level of individualised care was constantly maintained.  Lindsay’s ensured that individualised blends were thoughtfully prepared each time, for every client.

​

In 2015 Lindsay & Jude co-founded the first Aromatherapy for Childbirth course for midwives and other birth professionals. Now in Wiltshire, she is an artisan distiller, natural perfumer and formulates therapeutically active scents for the organic skincare brand ‘Seed to Skin’. She is also an external practical examiner for the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA), appraising aromatherapy schools internationally.
