Welcome

Thank you for taking time to visit my page.

My name is Laura and I am a qualified Aromatherapist & Massage Therapist, fully registered and insured with the Federation of Holistic Therapists. I work from my home in Dibden Purlieu, on the edge of the New Forest. I offer a range of wellbeing treatments from my purpose built treatment room.

My passion for holistic & complimentary therapies has grown over the last few years, sparked by my own journey of self improvement and mindful wellbeing. After having my two beautiful children and throwing myself back into my day job, I began to loose sight of myself and started to notice my body and mind becoming disconnected. My mind was overflowing with everything I needed to do, with everything everyone else needed to do and my body was tired and neglected. I was suffering with daily headaches, back pain & my hormones were all over the place! I was taking very little time to try and understand why. Instead I took various trips to the doctors, endless amounts of painkillers, and yet nothing much was changing.

Eventually, I decided to try a more natural, whole body approach, to reconnect body and mind, setting out on a journey of self awareness & healing. Along the way I have discovered many wonderful therapies such as, Accupuncture, Meditation, Pilates, Reiki and of course, Massage & Aromatherapy as well as many inspirational people who have offered me their experience and wisdom along the way.

I took the step to immerse myself fully in this wonderful, naturally healing world and began to find complete joy in sharing with others, the benefits of a holistic lifestyle and the possibilties of improved mental and physical wellbeing.

Eventually, Purple Spirit began to evolve and after taking time to train and study and gain the qualifications needed to practise, I am now lucky enough to have the perfect treatment space in my home, to welcome you for a range of massage treatments and aromatherapy. Everyone has a different journey, I look forward to being part of yours.

AROMATHERAPY

"Medicines out of the Earth"

I am so passionate about Essential Oils and wonder how I ever got by without them in my life.

Essential oils have been extracted from plants for therapeutic, cosmetic, spiritual & fragrant use for thousands of years, even though the word 'Aromatherapy' has only been used since the start of the 20th Century. The practise of using plant oils for physical & psychological benefits is an ancient practise.

These days we have the 'popular' and common place essential oils, such as Lavender & Tea Tree Oil, most of us know the benefits of using Lavender to relax, often found in bubble bath or baby products. It is common place to see Tea Tree Oil in face products, usually for more problem skin. But, have you ever used Ginger & Black Pepper for sore aching muscles, Geranium to balance hormones and emotions or Lavender & Rosemary to boost your immune system? There is a perfect blend for everyone.

A helping hand straight from nature.

I use only the highest quality oils in my treatments & products and always take the time to find the best blend to suit you. As well as offering Essential Oils as an add on to your massage therapy, I can also make a range of products to support you, please check the Aromatherapy section for more details.

All products and packaging are 100% Vegan & Cruelty Free and if you return your jar or bottle you will receive £1 off your next treatment.

MASSAGE

Much like plant medicine, Massage therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian & Indian Civilisations. The idea of using touch to ease aches & pains, 'loosen' stiff muscles & encourage relaxation is not a new one. There are many different methods of massage, I have chosen to offer therapies I feel compliment one another, and that also combine well with essential oils, to offer you maximum benefits. For example the Aromatherapy massage I offer uses gentle Swedish massage techniques, in contrast Warm Bamboo massage can be much firmer & deeper if preferred. You may already know the treatment you prefer, or you may want to try them all!

I am always guided by you and will adapt my technique to ensure you receive the massage you need.

We often think of massage being used to treat our physical well being, the benefits on mind & spirit can be just as effective. As well as relaxation, a massage can help with low mood, reducing stress, promoting better sleep, and encouraging a greater sense of wellbeing. In today's busy, technological world, Making time for your wellbeing is essential, making time for a massage shouldn't be luxury.

It's the way to a healthier, happier life.
