Treat Yourself, or Someone You Love, to an Aromatherapy Massage

In an aromatherapy massage we discuss what issues you would like to deal with. We then select the most appropriate essential oils to deal with those issues.

You then relax in the soft candle light, listening to the sounds of nature, and let the fragrance of the oils and the healing of the massage release all the stress from your mind and body.

Essential Oils

Each pure essential oil has its own unique chemical composition which, in a massage, interacts with the body’s chemistry via absorption or inhalation and so interacts with the body’s systems and organs. Each oil also has a unique fragrance, which interacts with the olfactory system. This goes straight to the limbic system, effectively by-passing the logic brain and communicating directly to the emotions, so the oils impact us both physically and emotionally.

Massage

The massage itself also works on multiple levels. Most people believe that an aromatherapy massage is just a nice relaxation massage with essential oils. It is that, but not only that! It can be used to relieve headaches, anxiety, physical and emotional stress, circulation problems, lymphatics, aches and pains, menstrual problems, and neurological damage,

Massage Techniques

An aromatherapy massage incorporates many different massage techniques in the one treatment. It is designed to assist the absorption of the oils into the body, and to improve lymphatic drainage, the circulation, skin tone, the flow of qi through the meridians, and to stimulate the nerves and regulate the nervous system. It also balances the magnetic energy field of the body and releases negative energy.

So, whilst you lie relaxed, zoned out and enjoying,… your well-being is being nurtured by a combination of Swedish massage, neuromuscular massage, shiatsu, lymphatic massage, acupressure, polarity therapy, energetics and reflexology.

Come along. Treat yourself to a wonderfully rejuvenating experience and let the healing energy of the hands and the oils join forces, to bring you a deep sense of well-being, on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
