Michelle Roques-O'Neil developed an early passion for essential oils and the mystical. Born in India, she came to London in the 1960s and later trained with aromatherapy guru Micheline Arcier who recognised her natural gift for massage and unique understanding of the oils.

In the mid-1980s and 1990s she worked in Harley Street at the prestigious Hale Clinic refining her unique healing and blending style which has subsequently made her one of the most highly respected and accomplished industry experts. Vogue has cited her as one of the world's top ten aromatherapists. With a constant presence in the press and premium publications, editors and fans alike are always poised for any new expression of Michelle's unique blend of holistic wellness and beauty.

Working extensively as a therapeutic design consultant she has created ground-breaking products and treatments for SpaceNK, C-side at Cowley Manor, and Croft & Croft among others. Those who make the pilgrimage to her North London studio are never disappointed, from globe trotting heads of business to the fragile, worn and world-weary, she gently engages them in a transformational journey of mind and body. Fans include Bethan Cole, Vicci Norton and Sarah Stacy, Pat McGrath, Alison Goldfrapp and Yasmin Le Bon.
