Signature essential-oil blends
Blended with intention
Alex mixes every SpiritSpud blend by hand, each one built around an everyday moment: winding down of an evening, shaking off a slow morning, or being kind to knees that have done some miles.
They come with proper Derbyshire names, too. Calm Thi'sen. Shek Thi'sen. Sup Wi' Thee?, because wellbeing doesn't have to take itself too seriously to be taken seriously.
About Alex
Care that begins with listening
Alex first trained in massage with an aromatherapy specialism more than twenty years ago, and has been adding to her craft ever since, through further aromatherapy, beauty and massage training, and now Reiki.
What hasn't changed in all that time is how a treatment starts: with a cup of listening. How you're feeling, what your body's carrying, what you need from the hour. That's what shapes everything that follows.
The Time For Me journal
Time for you, without the pressure
Time For Me (And Deservedly So) is Alex's wellness and spiritual journal: a thoughtful companion for reflection, gratitude, everyday wellbeing and setting gentle intentions.
The pages are undated on purpose: pick it up every day or come back whenever you need it. There's no falling behind.
Kind words
What people say
Genuine words from real customers, quoted with thanks from public recommendations on Facebook (opens in a new tab) and reviews on Etsy (opens in a new tab).
“I had one of Alex’s decadent full body aromatherapy massages yesterday. Alex picked my blend after asking me how I was feeling, and from start to finish I was made to feel like an absolute queen. I left floating, feeling so relaxed, and with some of Alex’s signature blends that smell utterly divine.”
“I had a much needed 45 minute back massage. Alex was very welcoming and professional. She gave me great advice on how to keep my back in good condition. I felt great after the massage. 5 out of 5.”
“Alex is amazing at what she does. She has many strings to her bow, one of them blending essential oils for your needs, and the aromas are just lush! Alex listens to what you need and makes up your oils accordingly. So reasonably priced and such good quality.”
