Aromatherapy

It is believed that the inhalation of essential oils stimulates the part of the brain connected to smell - the olfactory system; a signal is sent to the limbic system of the brain that controls emotions and retrieves learned memories. This causes chemicals to be released which make the person feel relaxed, calm, or even stimulated.

Aromatherapy Massage combines the use of essential oils and therapeutic massage. A blend of essential oils is carefully chosen according to your needs, which is added to a carrier oil prior to being massaged into the skin. 

The main aim of this massage is to apply the essential oil blend to the skin, to allow its healing properties to work.  Generally this is a more gentle and slower paced massage.  The depth of the massage is something we can discuss, and the pressure will be as light or as firm as you would like.
