About Us

10 Years ago I retired from the NHS and re-invented myself as a Beauty Consultant.  All my life I have been interested in natural health & beauty and have always used plant based products where & when I could find them, as well as natural holistic medicine.  This led me to approach Neals Yard Remedies where at 65 years young I joined the sales team and received valuable training in their lovely products and more importantly in aromatherapy.  

 

After selling with NYRO for a while I became really interested in learning how to make natural skincare myself. So I decided to train further in this area using essential oils and organic natural ingredients, making products completely from scratch.

​

Experimenting in my kitchen, driving my hubby mad when all he wanted was a coffee and a piece of toast only to discover that I had completely annexed the space, creating lotions and potions, whilst the bread bin was empty and there was no milk anyway. Carrying on like this, it took about 3 years of trial and error to really master art of skincare whilst making mistakes along the way.  I can only thank Tim for his enduring patience and faith in me, when I really didn't know what I was doing but only knew it felt great to create.....Fast forward and soon I became quite well known for creating my luxurious Lemon & Geranium hand cream & a number of other beautiful handmade products which were available at a very competitive price & at bespoke market stalls or via a simple email directly to me.  

 

After Lockdown hit it was no longer viable to just sell at market stalls so it was then that I decided to create an online shop, Joys Pamper Parlour. At that time I had already been selling well at a selection of market stalls and loved interacting with customers, but this avenue had completely dried up.  I started selling regularly to customers via my website and on Etsy but I still really missed the face to face contact with people.  

 

Another fast forward to the present and my range includes: handream, balm, crystal therapy oils, eye pillows, bath powders, bath bombs, massage oils, candles, lavender bags, soaps, room sprays & body atomising hydrosols.  

 

Since we moved 4 yrs ago to the stunning countryside that is Pewsey Vale in East Wiltshire, I have started growing my own lavender again, as well as other flowers and plants & am back at bespoke market stalls in the area, meeting customers again and making new friends. Joys Pamper Parlour has morphed into Joys Floral Essences & we are firmly "Back in the Room!"

​

During the past year, I have also been studying the wonders of what are Bach Flower Remedies. Studying at the Dr Bach Centre based in Oxford and online.  As a result, I have started making a few Flower Remedies myself, harvesting specific flowers from my garden and creating certain bespoke remedies, based on the Dr Bach method. I have also just completed my Level 3 training programme which will enable me to qualify as a Bach Practitioner and therefore I can provide private consultations to clients, both locally on a 1-1 basis and internationally via online.  Should you require this service, please do visit the 'Contacts' page to email me & get in touch. I would be delighted to hear from you.

 

Dr Bach, who lived 100 years ago, and in my opinion was a genius ahead of his time, created a wonderful system identifying certain plants that can treat, balance and calm the emotions. His 'Dr Bach Rescue Remedy' can currently be purchased at any UK Boots store & is specifically designed to treat people who have suffered trauma and are in shock.

 

In the same way, my Honeysuckle & Marigold Remedies are generally available to buy & will provide a certain amount of specific relief to their user.  They are: Equilibrium, Calming & Marigold.  However, It is as well to also point out that in order to comprehensively treat a client specifically using the Bach System who is experiencing their own certain set of emotions at a particular time in their life,  a private consultation is highly recommended in the first instance.

 

In today's frenetic society my feeling is that there is a real need for creating such natural products & services & making them readily available to the public as a means of greatly assisting in pro-active self care, self empowerment and a way of taking charge of our own emotional wellbeing that can directly impact on our physical wellbeing thus enabling

us all to better navigate a way through the 21st century in a cool, calm & collective manner.
