When I started AromaTherapy Shed a few years ago, I was clear on what I wanted to achieve – to connect people and planet. Our connection with nature and the natural world has become fractious and distant. We need to reconnect.

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Here are a few essential oils that are generally considered safe for dogs when used in moderation and under professional guidance:
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the English countryside, there’s a little shed. It’s not grand, or glossy, or filled with fancy tech. But the moment you step inside, something shifts. The air is different—softer, fuller. Notes of lavender, frankincense, and citrus greet you gently. Bottles of golden oils line the shelves, alongside dried herbs and petals collected with care. This is the AromaTherapy Shed—and it’s more than just a name. It’s a story. A mission. A return to the senses.
