Supporting Our Teens Through Exam Season – Naturally 💛

Blending love, calm, and clarity with essential oils

It’s been on my heart a lot lately — this time next year, our eldest will be sitting his GCSE exams.

How is that even possible?

It feels like just yesterday I was holding his little hand, walking him into school for his very first day. That big milestone moment that every parent remembers… and now here we are, preparing for another one.

Watching our boys grow into the kind, thoughtful, funny, and brilliant young men they are becoming is without a doubt the greatest gift I could have ever dreamed of.And while every new stage brings a little more independence and space, I find myself treasuring those moments where I’m still needed. Because even as they grow taller and bolder, I’ll always be their safe space.

One of the ways I love to support my boys is through natural wellness — little handmade potions, blends, and rollers infused with essential oils, love, and intention.

Over the years, I’ve created everything from:

• Balms for growing pains

• Healing sprays for bumps, bruises, and bites

• Soothing gels for skin irritations

• Rollers for seasonal sniffles, sleep support, and everything in between

• 
  

These blends have become part of the rhythm of our life. They’re not just remedies — they’re rituals.And now, as my eldest approaches exam season, I’ve been thinking about how I can continue to support him emotionally, mentally, and physically through this big chapter.

So I’ve put together a few roller and diffuser blends designed specifically for focus, calm, energy and rest — and I thought they might help your young people too.
