Gill Mathias, aged 52, Founder and Managing Director of Loughborough-based company, Aromatherapy Gold, decided to start her own aromatherapy business when she was living in Africa and her daughter Louise became seriously ill with pneumonia, aged four. With three young children to care for in a foreign country, she found that conventional medicines were often unavailable whereas the blended oils from Eucalyptus leaves and lemons were excellent in helping her to recover. With a devastating condition to deal with, Gill nursed her back to health.

Back in England Gill then spent some of her career as a professional tennis coach, and took a keen interest in alleviating sports injuries through the use of pure and natural oils. These skills became very useful when, twelve years ago, she completed the London Marathon! Having studied essential oils, their properties and how they work, her qualifications meant that five years ago she was able to start her own business venture and converted the outbuildings of her house into a working barn where all the essential oils could be stored and packed.

Aromatherapy G O L D (named after the first letter of the names of her and her family - Gill, Oliver, Louise, Dominic) now produce a vast range of over 100 health and beauty products and has supplied to a number of prestigious clients.

Due to the huge success of her aromatherapy business, Gill has expanded the concept of aromatherapy to the pet world! She has developed a range of award-winning coloured tags that release essential oils to enhance a dog’s mood, using either the Pick-Me-Up or Relaxing varieties. There are also tags to deter ticks and fleas, and to act as a deodorant. Dog shampoo and AromaPet Kitty Litter Freshener are the latest projects.

Gill’s time is spent juggling the management of her aromatherapy business, which includes attending a number of different exhibitions throughout the year, talking to suppliers and innovators, regular media interviews for radio/TV as well as still being actively involved in the lives of her family. Last year she arranged the wedding of her daughter, Louise. It was a spectacular event with a unique aromatherapy theme which meant that the church and reception venue were filled with a wonderful aroma of essential oils.

Gill uses aromatherapy oils in a variety of ways in her day-to-day life: a morning bath; oils on the pillow to induce sleep; refreshing Aromaballs in the car for tiredness while driving; a vaporiser for inhaling and relaxing; in a water antibacterial spray for the working surfaces in the kitchen and of course, in beauty products, such as hand cream. It really is a way of life for Gill. Having suffered the stress of a separation from her husband, she has used aromatherapy oils to stay calm and focused.

Gill has found the building of her business rewarding both professionally and personally. She said, “I have enjoyed the tremendous satisfaction that has come with providing natural, good quality products, using only the highest quality oils, which have really helped to improve and enhance peoples’ lives. We get many letters from satisfied customers who have enjoyed the benefits of our products, for example, our anti-stretch mark cream which is one of our best sellers. I am sure that my own good health is enhanced by the products that I use and my enormous amounts of energy give me the drive to develop my business even further.”
