A relaxing massage therapy using essential oils

Essential oils are extracted from flowers and plants and have been used for centuries for their restorative and healing properties, both physically and psychologically. The sense of smell directly affects the limbic system – a part of the brain that controls emotions and the nervous system.
Essential oils have unique healing properties, for example:
Chamomile, lavender and geranium are calming.
Rosemary is cleansing and energising.
Ylang ylang and neroli are uplifting.
Eucalyptus and pine are decongestants.

The oils are combined to create a unique blend, tailored to the needs of each client, and combined with massage, they promote feelings of deep relaxation and wellbeing.

Aromatherapy massage has been proven to reduce stress and depression, including post-partum blues. It helps to undo knots and smooths out areas of tension in the body, especially the back, neck and shoulders. It can help alleviate a number of stress related conditions including anxiety and insomnia, headaches and digestive disorders, as well as symptoms such as period pain and back ache.
