Holistic Aromatherapy Massage​

Holistic aromatherapy massage is a truly  relaxing therapeutic treatment.  Massage has been used for centuries to relieve pain,  induce relaxation and to boost well being. Holistic massage treats the client as a whole and the practitioner  takes into account their emotional and physical wellbeing. 

A tailor made blend of essential oils is created and a variety of massage techniques are used which may include relaxation work or deep tissue massage depending on the clients needs. 

The oils work immediately, their healing properties penetrating into the bloodstream, releasing tension and loosening tight  muscles.  As you inhale the essences, messages are sent to your brain encouraging your mind and body to work together. This sends you into a beautifully relaxed state, both physically and emotionally.

What to expect from your treatment

After your initial consultation, you will be left in private to get undressed as far as you feel comfortable. During the massage towels are used to keep you warm and covered.  My treatment room has been created with relaxation in mind and I will encourage you to switch off whilst I ease away those stresses and strains.

Aftercare

  • Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and aid the healing process
  • Avoid showering/bathing if possible to enable the oils to fully penetrate the skin and have their therapeutic effects on the body through the blood stream
  • Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight.
  • Avoid alcohol if possible as it is a detoxifying treatment.
