About Us
natural wellbeing
I guess you could say Woodford’s story began many years ago when my mother placed an aromatherapy book in my hands.
Fast forward to 2020; the world gripped in a pandemic I found myself caring for my mum and realised our most special times were when I took her hand and massaged her. As a qualified Aromatherapist I made her some balms; carefully selecting and blending oils. I created a range; one to soothe and comfort, one to help her sleep at night and another to awaken and stimulate her in the morning. She loved them, I did too!
With social distancing and lockdown in our lives our care workers came to the fore with fearless dedication and courage. Theirs was a labour of love; carers held our elders hands, they gave the hugs on behalf of the families locked outside. I was driven to serve this sector, I wanted dearly to share what I had with my mum to the outside world.
The balms gained laboratory approval, my daughter designed my logo, my brother created my labels. Cheered on by friends and family I took my products to market and it delighted me when they were instantly well received and so appreciated by carers and residents.
A home grown success that radiated outwards connecting people through massage and scent, a real language of love that helps to end touch poverty.
So that’s how our story began, triumph in the face of adversity. A comforting remedy born in the darkest of times.
I hope these specialist products serve you well. All ingredients are 100% natural, cruelty free, suitable for vegans and laboratory approved. They are made with love and care and wrapped in sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging.
If you’re a new customer “welcome to the family”. If you’re an established customer, “thank you so much for your loyalty”

Vicki Acres2022-06-21I'm a Reflexologist and have started offering my clients Woodfords Aromatherapy Calm Balm in my treatments. The balm has a lovely consistency and gives just the right amount of grip for Reflexology. A little seems to go a long way. My clients have commented that it feels warming when applied, and how lovely and soft their feet feel afterwards.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Mrs Fields2022-06-18I took my 12 year old daughter for a massage with Paula as she struggles with sleeping and anxiety. Paula Made us both very welcome and explained everything clearly to us both, explaining the benefits of different oils and personalising the experience. Paula kept checking my daughter was comfortable and created a lovely calm environment my daughter could relax in. We will be back, thank you.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Liz Alli2022-05-11I have bought many of these products for myself and as gifts for others. They are superb quality and packaged beautifully. As a trained aromatherapist I really appreciate the care and quality of these products. I highly recommend the Sundown massage balm for a good nights sleep and the Bottoms Up oil does wonders for stubborn cellulite.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
