Celebrating Aromatherapy Awareness Week at Armathwaite Hall Spa
I’m delighted to be returning to Armathwaite Hall Spa the award-winning luxury spa in the Lake District to celebrate Aromatherapy Awareness Week with a series of bespoke JustBe treatments, created to support both emotional and physical wellbeing.
Join me from 10th–12th June, where I’ll be proud to act as therapist-in-residence, offering personalised rituals using the JustBe range, a collection that has grown and evolved in close collaboration with the spa over the years.
The Story Behind the JustBe Spa Range
Many people ask how the JustBe treatments came to life, and the truth is, it all began before I even knew Armathwaite Hall existed.
Several years ago, I made the conscious decision to leave behind a fast-paced corporate career that was starting to take a toll on my health. I was drawn toward the mind-body connection and trained in various holistic therapies, including massage.
During client sessions, a common theme emerged, people often said they wanted to feel less stressed, less tired, less tense. But rather than focusing on what they didn’t want, I encouraged them to reframe: How would you like to feel? The answers became the foundation for the first four aromatherapy blends, designed to help people feel loved, happy, energised and able to just be themselves.
Armathwaite Hall: A Partnership in Wellbeing
In November 2010, Armathwaite Hall launched six bespoke massage oils that I developed exclusively for them. Following a successful trial, they invited me to create an anti-ageing facial, which became the JustBe Radiant Facial.
Like many women, I used to believe I had sensitive skin. But during product development, I realised what I thought was ‘sensitivity’ was actually my skin reacting to harsh synthetic ingredients. That insight led to the creation of the JustBe Skincare range, a line that’s 100% natural, nut-free, and suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive ones.
Since then, the collaboration has continued to flourish. Armathwaite Hall introduced the JustBe Fresh Faced Facial in 2012, a treatment ideal for teenage skin, launched on Mother's Day and centred around skin confidence and positive habits. Later that year, we added JustBe Elemental, a luxurious full-body ritual featuring a thermal wrap with Scottish peat designed to target cellulite, weight management, and anti-ageing. It has since become Armathwaite Hall’s No.1 most-requested treatment.
A Shared Journey of Wellbeing
Armathwaite Hall Spa, twice named Best Residential Spa by the Professional Beauty Awards has been instrumental in bringing the JustBe vision to life. Our shared commitment to natural wellbeing, emotional balance and beautiful rituals continues to grow stronger with each year.
So, if you're ready to take a moment for yourself, to reconnect and rebalance, I’d love to welcome you.
