About Dipaunka Macrides
I
have been a vegetarian for the past 34 years. I have been
in clinical practice since 1982 when I first started doing
massage . I then began making my own massage oils . Out of this
was born Rosewood Natural Skincare. I started Rosewood from humble beginnings, after doing a
massage course and an Aromatherapy course. Originally called
Riverbank Natural Therapies, I started with 1/2 a dozen products.
I initially wanted to make my own massage
oils as I wasn’t happy with what was available on the
market at the time. I also wanted to be able to have control
over what effect the massage oils I was using had and also
to combine the aromas I liked. As well I wanted an aftershave
that didn’t burn my face off when I applied it as at
the time most aftershaves were alcohol based. I didn’t
have someone to teach me or guide me but that was part of
the fun of learning. I experimented, read lots, made mistakes
!!! and learnt as I went.
From there I started to sell
a few products, began getting requests from friends and clients
who were beauty therapists for other products .And so the
range of products expanded, grew and a small business was
born. I spent years plying my trade and selling All Natural
products many moons before it became hip and trendy. In the
meantime I studied Herbal Medicine, Body work, and Iridology. I have since gone on to teach others about the wonderful
world of herbs, healing and self empowerment . I can see
no other way especially as a Herbalist / Naturopath. Herbs are an integral part of my life and I work with them on a daily basis .
My
background in and love of Herbs plus Aromatherapy have obviously
been contributing factors in my formulations as well as having
an over-actively creative mind . I am active as a Herbalist, Aroma therapist,
Alchemist, Urban Shaman( apprentice ), Wizard, Teacher ,Writer who loves to create and help other beings to heal. I seek to empower people to facilitate their own healing via healthy eating , lifestyle and awareness of themselves and their bodies . These vehicles that we travel in need maintenance and care , we only get one to play with each life time and until we have mastered the art of complete regeneration of our physical bodies , we need to take good care of them. I see my role as a facilitator who has knowledge which I share and experince in healing which I can draw on .
I love to share knowledge, if one does not share knowledge,the
knowledge dies with you when you pass on. I have studied many
things and now I facilitate Sweatlodgeswhich are a wonderful adjunctive and complimentary healing tool to working with The Herbs /Plant Spirits. I am studying Shamanic
Practices and dive deeper into The Majikal world of Herbs
and Healing on a daily basis . I am more aware each day that we need to drop the ego, surrender, embrace and accept our shadows ,then fill our hearts with LOVE . Love heals all and the power of Love is what will change the world . When we are in the space of Love and acting from our heart centres, then there is no blame , no hate, no fear.
