Tracy Winterbourne

(She / Her)

Trauma-Informed Aromatherapy Specialist

With over 30 years of experience in holistic therapies, I bring a deep passion for supporting emotional and mental wellbeing through the therapeutic power of plants. At the heart of my work is aromachology, the study of how scent influences our emotions and behaviour combined with training in trauma-informed aromatherapy.

My practice focus is in the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit, and how pure essential oils can support healing, restoration, and emotional resilience. I hold a full IFPA diploma in Essential Oil Science and Aroma Psychology, with extensive training in plant chemistry, therapeutic applications, and the energetic intelligence of essential oils.

My work is rooted in high quality, pure, and synthetic free essential oils chosen not only for their therapeutic value but also for their emotional resonance. I carefully consider both the psychological and spiritual aspects of each blend, ensuring they offer gentle yet effective support for those navigating trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, or simply seeking inner balance.

A recent highlight in my professional journey has been co-authoring a peer reviewed paper on aromatherapy and emotional wellbeing along side NOWS, published in the International Journal of Professional Holistic Aromatherapy and archived by the British Library. I’m incredibly proud of this achievement not only for its recognition in the professional field but because it evidences the real world impact of our work with children, families, and those in need of emotional support.
