About Us
Welcome, to Solas Health, I am so excited you have found your way here...
I am Linda, founder of Solas Health and my mission is to empower you and your loved ones with knowledge about essential oils and alternative treatments that can help rebuild your foundation, and discover how amazing you can feel when you rebalance, recharge, and revitalise your body and mind.
'Solas' in Gaelic means light, and I hope to bring more of this powerful light into your lives through Solas treatments and essential oils. We can all do with more ‘light’ in our lives to help guide us and support us. I see this light as universal light, almost like a 'torch' that can help us to connect with our higher self, the essence of our being to support a more balanced body, mind and soul.
If you have found your way here to this site, maybe its time for you to start supporting that light within you, strengthen it so it burns brightly helping to guide you and support you through life’s journey.
Since my early teens I have always been interested in alternative therapies, especially been exposed to them when growing up in Ireland and spending many summer holidays in Donegal, a place that had many old stories on holistic treatments.
Since those early days I have spent the past 24 years working in product development, field research and the development of innovative services for the New Zealand Agricultural sector.
Having a degree in Agriculture and Environmental Science from UCD in Dublin was the first stepping stone to working in the New Zealand science community alongside wonderful technical trial experts allowing me to continuously grow my knowledge in research and development.
It was this knowledge base that allowed me to merge the science of both worlds in an exciting way, which resulted in the birth of Solas Health. My passion for holistic treatments and research encouraged me to build on this knowledge base and complete my Diploma in Aromatherapy, get my certification in Reiki and start my training in Reflexology.
This is a journey I am committed to because I love being able to provide a treatment or make a blend that can help to support healing whether it is emotional, physical or spiritual.
Linda has been so helpful and kind. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the healing power of essential oils and her oils have have really helped me relax and get to sleep. Thank you!
People ask me sometimes why do you like essential oils, its simple, I just love how they make me feel and I hope both the Solas oils and treatments can empower you to build a knowledge on ways that can help you to restore a state of ‘wholeness in your body’ which at times is out of balance.
It's important to remember no matter what stage we are in life we all deserve to wake up every day and feel good, feel happy, feel like we are full of universal light.
Stay connected with your higher self, start to listen a bit more to your inner voice that guides you and hopefully today will be a better day! Welcome to Solas Health.
