What this treatment is like
Aromatherapy massage combines gentle, flowing massage with carefully chosen essential oils. The aim is a treatment that settles the nervous system as much as it works the muscles: slower pace, softer pressure and a scent that helps you switch off.
It suits people who feel run down, stressed or overstimulated, and anyone who wants a treatment that feels nurturing rather than physically intense. The oils are selected for the mood of the session, such as lavender for rest or citrus for a lifted feeling.
If you are sensitive to scents, pregnant, or have a skin condition, mention it when booking so the oils can be adjusted or left out. The treatment can also be given with unscented oil only.
Frequently asked questions
What does aromatherapy massage feel like?
Soft, rhythmic strokes with warm oil, usually lighter than a deep tissue session. Most people leave feeling noticeably calmer, and some fall asleep on the table.
Do I have to use essential oils?
No. The same gentle massage can be given with plain unscented oil, and it works just as well for relaxation.
Which oils are used?
Common choices include lavender, eucalyptus, lemongrass and citrus blends, selected to suit how you want to feel after the session. Allergies and preferences are always respected.
