Based in the beautiful, peaceful surrounds of the Buddha Bar, Newtown, Annie Coleman combines magic fingers and delicate aromas to achieve relaxation and healing for her clients. She chats to SkillsOne about her career in aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy is not just about stress management, it is herbal medicine delivered via the skin and olfactory system. Healing both physically and emotionally, plant essences concentrate the effects of any style of bodywork.

They can alleviate the pain of deep tissue work, concentrate the effects of lymphatic techniques and precipitate deep emotional release. In this story Annie discusses her training, what she loves about her work and how she became interested in natural therapies.
