Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils. Essential oils are derived from various parts of a plant, such as the seeds, bark, root, leaves, flowers, wood, balsam and resin. They are wholly natural substances, that have unique therapeutic properties and can affect the body on all levels - physically, mentally and emotionally. Not only that, they also smell amazing!
​
Depending on clients needs and personal preference, specific essential oils are selected and blended with a base oil or carrier to apply to the skin as part of a relaxing and nourishing massage treatment using a pressure suited to the individual.
​
During treatment the oils are effectively absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream and should ideally not be washed off for at least 12 hours.​
