Holistic Feathers has always made it top priority to source only the highest-grade base (carrier) oils and organic skincare for clients, as well as for use at home with our family.
With a current trend towards moving away from expensive brands which contain chemicals and all kinds of toxic nasties which may cause side-effects in sensitive skin-types, we are seeing more and more people request details of where to find organic, natural skincare products where they are free from parabens and other chemicals after being on the receiving end of some painful side-effects from well-known "natural" brands.
A fervent believer in using only natural products on her skin, Callie has long been advocating the use of oils to replace your average body moisturisers and facial skincare products. She personally uses natural, organic oil blends each and every day, twice a day, and is convinced that is why she has so few wrinkles as she (rapidly!) approaches her 40's.
Although Holistic Feathers now uses Raw Gaia products exclusively in the Natural Facial treatments, Callie still receives regular requests to recommend - or make up - oil blends for personal use for all the family, rather than sticking to the limited products available on the high street or internet.
In response to these requests, Callie is now delighted to be able to offer you a unique, personalised oil blends at excellent prices, beautifully packaged with hand-written labels.
We also offer you a wonderful, personalised service to evoke the power of Ripple's vibrational aromatherapy magic in personalised body oil blends or as a spray-mist for use as a spritzer or around your home.
Body oil - personalised blend
£8.99* for 120mlbottle (50p off next purchase if you recycle your bottle)
£4.50* for 10ml rollerball bottle
To make this a truly personalised blend, select an InnerSight energy card (either in person, online or by Callie intuitively selecting one for you) and have the Ripple energy therapy essence of your chosen card added to a blend of finest quality oils. This is perfect for application as a completely natural, pure body moisturiser with healing energies lovingly captured.
This way you receive a double-dose of nurture each day ... firstly, in the shape of loving your skin by lavishing a luxurious oil blend which will rehydrate your skin and encourage cell renewal ... secondly, by using the energy essence within that blend to reinforce your InnerSight message each day until your personalised oil blend is all used up.
By using your essence in a body moisturising blend, you can choose to work with your InnerSight message in a gentle way, without really having to focus on it ... the intent is all that is needed to work the magic behind the scenes, lighting your way to balance and healthy emotions.
Callie will also give an extra dose of magic in the shape of Reyad Sekh Em and adding a small crystal (either citrine or rose quartz, dependent on which energy essence has been chosen).

Spritzer - personalised blend
£5.99* for 120mlbottle (50p off next purchase if you recycle your bottle)
As with our personalised body oil blend (above) all you need to do is select an InnerSight energy card (either in person, online
or by Callie intuitively selecting one for you) and have the Ripple
energy therapy essence of your chosen card blended with natural spring water, with a dose of Ripple and Reyad Sekh Em healing for good measure.
This is perfect for application as a completely natural, wake-up energising spritzer with healing energies lovingly captured - or even throughout your home.

using your essence in a spritzer, you can work
with your InnerSight message in a gentle way, without really having to

Using a range of specialist oils which are renowned for their excellent restorative properties in facial applications, Callie will need to determine your skin-type and also whether you have a particular purpose in mind for this particular blend. For example, you may be visiting a sun-kissed island for a snorkelling holiday where your face will be subject to harsh sunshine, sea salt and dehydration from flying to your destination.
Your personalised facial blend will be selected from a range of facial oils, including difficult-to-locate-in-the-high-street oils such as argan oil and blackcurrant seed oil. For this reason it is very difficult to determine an exact price until your blend has been identified, as it will be dependent on the types of oils used.
*plus £1.95 p&p
Consultation fees (initial fee)
£15.00 (without a treatment booked) - the consultations are available either at our treatment
rooms or by completing an online questionnaire and then a telephone
discussion to ensure we give you exactly what you need.
£10.00 (with treatment booked) - please let Callie know in advance, she will then ensure a further half-hour consultation slot is available after your booked treatment.
Nature's perfection
Mother Nature never fails us – by using her gifts as nature
intended, we have a wonderful opportunity to achieve naturally-beautiful
perfection.
There are very few ‘natural’ skincare products available to
us at a price we can afford which can truly be described as ‘natural’.They have either been heat-treated or had
ingredients added to them which may be well-known irritants, toxins or
parabens.Holistic Feathers stocks Raw
Gaia products for the whole family which are made from raw (i.e. not
heat-treated), living oils, floral waters and natural ingredients and turned
into a divine touch of luxury with an affordable price tag.
The joy of using natural ingredients is the certainty that
they contain all of the essential vitamins that your skin needs.By using facial oils they take your skincare
routine to a new level and results are often seen immediately.
As oils are Mother Nature’s precious gift to us it would be
a real shame not to fully explore the benefits of using facial oils in place of
creams crammed full of toxins and unnatural chemicals which may be doing
untold, long-term damage to our precious skin.
We have listed below a small selection of the interesting or
unusual oils which are often used in our personalised facial oil blends. We do not, however, add any essential
(aromatherapy) oils into the mix, relying simply on the properties from each carefully
selected oil.
Borage Seed Oil (Borago officinalis) Extraction - Cold Pressed/Unrefined, Shelf life - 3-6 months Pressed from the seeds of the beautiful Borage plant, Borage
Seed Oil has the highest concentration of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) naturally
found, higher than in any other plant source! GLA is an Omega-6 fatty
acid, an essential fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids cannot be produced in
our bodies but must be obtained from food sources. Essential Fatty Acids
(EFAs) are vital for healthy brain function, metabolism and for bones, hair and
skin growth. It has been widely
studied for its ability to calm and reduce inflammation, and has been used with
positive results for many different skin disorders, such as psoriasis, eczema,
acne, rosacea and prematurely-aged skin.
Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis sativa)
Extraction - Cold Pressed/Unrefined, Shelf life - 8 months This exceptionally-rich oil is high in essential omega fatty acids and
proteins, a deep green colour and a wonderful aroma of nuts. Hemp Seed Oil is
anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing, an excellent choice to help balance dry
skin, fight skin inflammations and help to heal skin lesions.Hemp Seed Oil if bursting with anti-oxidants
and contains moisture-balancing properties. As the oil is not greasy and
readily absorbs into the pores, it is an excellent choice for those looking for
rejuvenating and moisturizing properties to feed their facial skin. The
vitamins and minerals present in Hemp Seed Oil are easily absorbed through the
skin, resulting in a more vitamin- and mineral-enriched tonic
Macadamia Nut Oil (Macadamia integrifolia)
Extraction - Expeller Pressed/Unrefined, Shelf life - 10-12 months
A superb protective oil with a high absorption rate, this beautiful fine oil
comes from the pressed nuts of the Macadamia tree. It is a priceless delight
for the skin and has proven itself to be one of the best regenerative oils
available. It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and closely resembles
sebum (the oil naturally produced by ones skin to help protect it), with an
added bonus of it having been used successfully as a healing oil for scars,
sunburns, minor wounds and other skin irritations.
Rosehip Seed Oil (Rosa
rubiginosa)
Extraction - Cold Pressed/Unrefined, Shelf life - 10-12 months
A rich, amber-coloured oil from the ripened fruit of the famed Rosehip, which
is also known as Rosa Mosqueta, ithis is the perfect oil for reducing
scarring.This unique oil is very high
in essential fatty acids and is used widely in preparation to help treat
crinkly laughter lines (the “W” word is banned here!) and prematurely-ageing skin.
A truly delightful, light oil which soaks straight into your skin leaving no
hint of a sheen.
Safflower Oil (Carthamus tinctorius) Extraction - Expeller Pressed/Refined, Shelf life - 1 year A super moisturising oil with some 78% Oleic acids, this is an excellent base
oil for specialist skincare preparations.
With its deep, soothing properties, it is often the first port of call
for those looking to treat their skin to natural delights.
We also use selected macerated oils, harnessing the power of
flowers steeped in a vegetable oil for a few weeks which gives a perfumed,
added dimension of the plants’ medicinal properties to our facial oil
blends.Two of our favourite are:
Calendula (Macerated) Oil With such gentle, cooling and soothing properties, Calendula
(Macerated) Oil is a perfect oil for those of us who suffer with dry, damaged
or inflamed skin and is also gentle enough to be used in baby
preparations.Calendula Oil can be used
in preparations for acne, inflammation and soothing irritated skin.
Rose Petal (Macerated) Oil The name alone evokes a deep sense of serenity
and love.Rose Petal (Macerate) Oil is
an excellent choice for dry, mature skin but it is also a beautifully-cooling
and mildy-astringent oil with a delicate scent to add a touch of luxury to any
blend.
NB. All of our bottles are PET recyclable blue plastic bottles.
