Meet Britt: A Journey into Holistic Therapy
Britt’s journey into integrating essential oils into her therapeutic practice is inspiring and enlightening. As a psychotherapist and social worker at Little Window, Britt has always been passionate about finding natural and effective ways to support her clients. In this episode, she shares her experiences and the serendipitous moments that led her to incorporate Shine Om Natural’s essential oils into her counselling sessions.
Discovering Essential Oils
Britt’s fascination with essential oils began when she started exploring their benefits for personal use. She quickly realised their potential in a therapeutic setting. During our conversation, Britt discussed how essential oils can be powerful tools in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Her integration of these natural remedies into her practice has enhanced her therapeutic offerings and provided her clients with additional avenues for self-care and healing.
The Power of Polyvagal Theory and Essential Oils
One of the highlights of our discussion is Britt’s explanation of Polyvagal Theory and how essential oils play a crucial role in helping clients return to a state of calm and balance. Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, emphasises the importance of the vagus nerve in regulating emotional responses. Britt explains how certain essential oils can stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

Britt provides real-life examples of how she uses essential oils in her sessions. From diffusing calming blends during therapy to offering clients roll-ons for at-home use, Britt shares her practical tips and success stories. The positive responses from her clients have been overwhelming, with many reporting significant improvements in their emotional well-being and overall sense of calm.

Personal Testimonials: Why Britt Loves Shine Om Natural Products
Britt is not only a professional who uses Shine Om Natural’s products in her practice but also a dedicated user in her personal life. In her own words,
“The Winter Warrior oil is SO good! I used it on an international flight to keep the pesky germs away from all the gross humans. It helped me breathe easier when adjusting to the climate change at my destination and I swear it helped keep the dreaded plane flu away. The roll-ons are super convenient to take with you and fit nicely in your purse or pocket. Definitely recommend!”
