An Aromatherapy Massage provides the perfect opportunity for you to switch off and indulge in a treatment unique to your needs in the moment. Each session begins with a short discussion to find out how you are feeling and what you’d like from the session. We then create a blend of essential oils to meet your needs which will be used during the nurturing massage.
Whether you’re looking for support to help improve your sleep, soothe a headache, ease muscular aches and pains, calm frazzled nerves or nourish dry skin, we’ll find the oils that are perfect for you!
These will then be blended into a suitable carrier oil or oils to further support your needs.
As the aroma is a key ingredient to the therapeutic benefits of this treatment, other distractions will be limited so as not to distract you from the fragrance of your special blend. Talking will be minimal, music and lighting will be soft and you’ll be kept cosy throughout. All you need to do is be.
Aside from the creation of a bespoke scented oil to use in the session, the massage uses long, slow strokes to soothe body and mind.
Yes! Although you may not be able to benefit from the fragrance of the oils, using essential oils in an appropriate dilution applied to the skin allows them to absorb into the body to work their magic.
Yes! We can choose a selection of essential oils with known benefits for whatever symptoms/problems you are looking to address. For example, if stress is disrupting your sleep but also impacting your digestive system, we can use oils that have a calming effect on the nervous and digestive systems.
As with regular massage, there are certain conditions where massage may not be appropriate. On top of this, some essential oils should be avoided with particular health issues, during pregnancy and so on. This is why, whatever treatment you book in for, I always carry out a detailed consultation so we choose the best option for you. In certain circumstances, I may suggest speaking to a doctor first or avoiding treatment altogether.
