I am an aromatherapist and I work with my friend Midwife Jude teaching Midwives and Doulas aromatherapy for childbirth. We are collecting stories of experiences of aromatherapy in childbirth. If aromatherapy has been used by you or for you in the birth room, then we would love to hear about it. The good, the bad and the fabulous – we want to hear your story.
We have made it into a competition so you can maybe win a prize too. It is open to anyone who would like to share these experiences.
We are looking for stories that inform and inspire, move us, or all of those things.
The PRIZES:
The winner may choose between a free place on one of our study days or a complete kit of Aromatherapy for Childbirth products both worth about £85. The winner will be announced with their choice of prize on our Facebook page
Anyone whose story submitted in this competition which is subsequently used by us in print, presentation or electronic media will also be thanked by receiving their choice one of the following essential oils: 10ml organic fine lavender, 5ml organic peppermint or 5ml organic clary sage.
