Meet the Hands
holding space for women to rest, release, and recharge.
Hi, I’m Rachel, founder of Geranium Moon.
My path into complementary therapies began after experiencing a period of profound stress and nervous system disregulation, where my survival responses were constantly in overdrive. During that time, I was supported by women’s services and introduced to the grounding, restorative power of holistic healing - particularly the power of plants through essential oils. This was the sowing of the seeds that, a few years later, grew into my decision to train as a Complementary Therapist to support other women in their own healing journeys.
My work is rooted in the understanding that, as women, we carry so much - mentally, emotionally, physically, and energetically - while trying to navigate a world that often asks us to override and ignore our natural rhythms. Women are cyclical by nature; our hormones fluctuate throughout the month, yet modern life rarely honours this. Over time, that disconnection can leave us feeling depleted, overstimulated, and disconnected from ourselves in a world that tells us we can, and should, “have it all”.
I aim to facilitate a space for women to feel safe and heard. A space to practice speaking up for themselves and setting boundaries - even in small ways, like telling me if you would prefer more or less pressure during a treatment. I want each woman who uses Geranium Moon to feel able to allow their nervous system the opportunity to regulate and rest.
I believe every woman deserves to experience intuition-led holistic therapy that is tailored to her individual needs.
You do not have to hold everything alone.
Qualifications
I am a certified Complementary Therapist with training in Reflexology, Aromatherapy, and Swedish massage to Level 3 VTCT. Alongside further training in Deep Tissue massage, and Menopause massage with acupressure points. I am also an accredited Tarot Practitioner.
My key interest is female wellcare, specifically how holistic treatments can provide support for menopause, PMDD, PMS and other female health conditions. Having lived with endometriosis for the past two decades, I understand how isolating it can feel to navigate pain within a healthcare system that often leaves women feeling unheard and unsupported.
Geranium is a perennial shrub originating from South Africa, known for it’s use in herbal medicine and aromatherapy. The plant holds many healing properties, particularly for women. In aromatherapy, Geranium oil is often used to balance female hormones, improve heavy periods, and soothe symptoms of PMS and menopause. My work as a holistic therapist focuses on women’s issues - I aim to honour and celebrate the female body, whilst aiding it’s recovery and restoration within our fast-paced, high-stress Western world that so often undermines it.
Guided by Compassion, Grounded in Nature
The Geranium Moon Philosophy
The Moon has been a spiritual symbol of feminine energy for centuries; a symbol of birth, fertility, the inner goddess, death and rebirth. Like women, the moon has it’s own cycle phase. The moon holds the power to illuminate the darkness of the night; seeing a way forward out of challenging times. Holistic therapies can be extremely beneficial for reducing stress,
re-balancing the body after trauma, soothing the nervous system and encouraging self-confidence, body wisdom, and self-love.
