Hi I’m Alison MacColl
BSc CT (Aromatherapy), Professional Aromatherapist & Natural Perfumer & Cert. Teaching

Stress got me into all of this way back in the early 90s when I worked in financial services in London.  I was amazed at how a single drop of an essential oil in a bespoke aromatherapy blend could be so powerful to positively improve the quality and duration of my sleep, relaxation and mental wellbeing.   I became ever so chilled and relaxed after aromatherapy and was in a total calm zone for weeks.  After experimenting with oils at home, and burning my back in the bath, I decided I needed to learn how to use them properly.

My professional training journey started in 1994 (including a science degree at Edinburgh’s Napier University – not bad for someone who hated science at school!) and Complement Your Health was launched in 2002.

My ethos is, and always will be, to help clients feel better in themselves, using bespoke natural botanical ingredients in clinical aromatherapy and bespoke french perfumery.   I’m as passionate today as I was 27 years ago about how powerful these tiny drops can impact our lives with their scent and aroma and I’m a total advocate of their safe and appropriate professional clinical use.

Over the past 24 years I’ve created thousands of bespoke aromatherapy formulations for hundreds of clients in private practice, mental health, NHS settings with referrals from GPs and other health professionals and specialist clinics in health and social care.  Often clients will have periods of imbalance in their lives leading to stress, anxiety, low mood, or they need help to relax or wish to boost their mood and it’s my role to support them and formulate blends they love, to enhance their wellbeing.  

Through the science of clinical aromatherapy and aromachology we can incorporate scent to uplift our spirits and I always pop on my bespoke perfume to complete my outfit going out in the evening and create a bespoke clinical aromatherapy blend if I want an extra good night’s sleep.  I’ve helped hundreds of clients design their own perfumes since 2004 and always love the moment when client’s eyes light up which tells me they’ve captured their bespoke scent.
