Welcome to tend aromatherapy

Your local sanctuary for relaxation

and holistic wellbeing.

At tend aromatherapy, we believe in the gentle art of returning to yourself, embracing a path toward inner peace, natural wellness, and emotional well-being. Founded by holistic therapist Katie, tend offers a range of holistic treatments designed to calm the nervous system and support whole-body healing through clinical aromatherapy, soothing scents, grounding touch, and intentional moments of stillness.


Our diverse menu of aromatherapy treatments includes rejuvenating aromatherapy massage in Cirencester, restorative reflexology, deeply relaxing Indian head massage, and revitalising holistic facial rituals. Each session is a dedicated moment for deep rest, nervous system regulation, and gentle reconnection with yourself. Every treatment is thoughtfully crafted to support your body’s natural rhythms, improve emotional balance, and help you emerge feeling renewed and nourished.


Every ritual is tailored to meet you exactly where you are, whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, burnout, or simply craving a moment of calm. Using bespoke clinical aromatherapy blends, pure essential oils, and slow, mindful touch, our therapies create a grounded and nurturing space to recalibrate and receive. Nothing is rushed or generic; each session is personalised, intentional, and focused on real, meaningful healing rather than surface level pampering. Alongside personalised 1:1 therapies, tend also fosters community connection through collaborations, guided meditation sessions, and seasonal wellness rituals, offering safe and supportive spaces for shared healing and reflection. Our signature aromatherapy massage combines expert massage techniques with the therapeutic benefits of essential oils to ease muscle tension, reduce stress, improve sleep, and restore inner calm.


Rooted in a love of nature, slow living, and the sensory beauty of essential oils, tend invites you to pause, soften, and reconnect with the feeling of being safe, supported, and truly seen. We believe these grounding experiences are essential for cultivating deeper self-awareness and long lasting wellbeing. Whether you're seeking to unwind, improve sleep, ease anxiety, or soothe everyday aches, our personalised aromatherapy and holistic treatments in Cirencester are designed to support your unique needs and guide you gently back to yourself.

A course of weekly treatments

For the deepest benefit, I recommend starting with a course of weekly reflexology or "Rooted" rituals for four weeks. This consistency allows your body to adjust, release stored tension and begin restoring balance. After this, we can reassess together whether fortnightly or monthly sessions would best tend to your needs.

What Is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy massage is a holistic treatment that blends the therapeutic benefits of traditional massage with the healing properties of carefully selected essential oils—each chosen for its unique physical, emotional, and energetic support. This deeply restorative practice is designed to relax the body, calm the mind, and uplift the spirit, creating a complete sense of wellbeing from the inside out.


Your session begins with a personalised consultation, allowing us to understand your specific needs, preferences, and intentions. From there, a bespoke blend of essential oils is created to support your individual journey toward balance and healing. As gentle, rhythmic massage techniques are applied, tension melts away, circulation improves, and your nervous system is gently guided into a state of rest.


The soothing aromas of oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, or grounding botanicals enhance relaxation, helping to ease stress, reduce anxiety, and encourage emotional clarity. Certain oils can also support improved mood, mental focus, and deeper connection to self, making the experience both physically and emotionally restorative.


Throughout your treatment, we prioritise creating a tranquil, welcoming space where you can fully unwind and step away from the demands of daily life. After your session, we offer tailored aftercare guidance and simple wellness practices to help you continue feeling supported and balanced long after you leave.


The ultimate intention of aromatherapy massage is to harmonise mind, body, and spirit—leaving you feeling rejuvenated, re-centred, and deeply at ease

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions about our treatments and how to decide the best ones for you

  • What is an aromatherapy

    Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses natural essential oils extracted from plants to support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. These oils are inhaled or applied during treatments to promote relaxation, reduce stress, ease muscle tension, and enhance overall balance. Each essential oil carries unique therapeutic properties, allowing aromatherapy to be tailored to your individual needs.

  • What should I expect during my first session?

    Katie will begin with a short consultation to understand your needs, preferences and any medical considerations. You’ll then receive a tailored treatment using a personalised blend of essential oils. The treatment is gentle, relaxing and completely customised to you

  • Can I choose the essential oils used?

    Yes. You can choose from a selection of calming, uplifting or healing oils. Your therapist can also recommend blends based on how you feel that day or what you want the treatment to achieve.

  • What should I wear or bring to my appointment?

    Wear comfortable clothing and arrive as you are, no special preparation is needed. Essential oils may leave a light scent or residue on the skin, so some clients prefer loose clothing for after the treatment.

  • How will I feel afterwards?

    Most people feel deeply relaxed, calm and rebalanced. You may notice reduced muscle tension and improved mood for hours or even days afterwards. It’s normal to feel slightly tired, so drinking water and taking it easy can help extend the benefits..
