About
Holistic Aromatherapy for Women's Health
CAM Aromatherapy - "CAM" is for my initials, but I also like to joke that it stands for "Calm and Menopausal" (or "Crazy and Menopausal" before I returned to the world of holistic health.
Hi, my name is Cathy Morris (MFHT | MIFPA) - I first completed my training as a Holistic Aromatherapist at the Tisserand Institute in London in 1994 and have since become more and more passionate about holistic health, how to destress in a world where we are always on the go, and the use of natural products on the skin.
​
Aromatherapy is not only about beautiful aromas - it’s also about the therapeutic properties of the oils (anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and expectorant to name just a few). Before your massage, I will suggest several essential oils for your bespoke blend depending on your lifestyle and any ailments you have at the time of your visit. We then choose 3 essential oils together for your blend, depending on which oils you enjoy the aroma of the most - these are then mixed with a carrier oil for your massage treatment. The aroma of the oils and the absorption into the skin, together with the experience of a relaxing massage is an excellent combination to relieve the stresses of everyday life, boost the immune system, help with insomnia, and generally help your body to fight infection, relax sore muscles, and relieve skin problems among other things.
​
I lived in America and Italy for many years and grew up in Africa. I'm passionate about nature, so look out for the odd wildlife/nature photos on my Facebook and Instagram pages. I also love to dance and have recently taken up a few classes in and around Wantage to keep moving, and I wouldn't give up my morning mindful walk and stretching exercises for the world.

"Cathy was wonderful! In our pre-appointment meeting Cathy really took the time to listen to my medical history and needs. She tailored the massage to what I required and was mindful throughout. The massage itself was really relaxing and I felt much more settled in my body afterwards. Thank you for being so considerate - I look forward to coming back again as soon as possible! Many thanks"

"I have just had an amazing 'Hot Stone Aromatherapy Massage.' Cathy at CAM Aromatherapy, had lots of precautions in place, to ensure that I kept super safe. Glad that you are back up and running!"

"Cathy is an incredibly thoughtful and caring therapist. Her room is warm, cosy and nurturing helping relaxation to begin before the massage even starts. The massage itself was soul-soothing, warming and filled with small, special details that other therapists overlook that add to an overall incredible experience.
You'll never look for another therapist after being treated by Cathy."
Janet
"A therapeutic and thoroughly relaxing aromatherapy massage, in a tranquil yet stylish treatment room. With a choice of aromatherapy oils, the treatment is tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Highly recommend!"
