Aromatherapy Massage
Massage is one of the oldest healing therapies in the world today. Before the introduction of modern technology and medicine, massage therapy aided in the healing of the mind, body and spirit. Today massage is still practiced for those same reasons as well as serving as a preventive approach to well-being and inner peace. Massage therapy assists with the body’s natural ability to heal itself and the benefits make it apparent that massage is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for a healthier more relaxed state of mind.
Q. What is Aromatherapy Massage?
A. Aromatherapy is the practice of integrating essential oils in a variety of application methods and treatment forms to prevent illness, and to enhance and maintain physical, emotional and mental health. It is the nature of Aromatherapy and the essential oils to bring physical, emotional and mental imbalances into balance. This is a Swedish massage that incorporates long strokes and kneading to soothe and increase circulation. Light-to-medium massage pressure is applied.
Q. What should I expect?
A. You will have an interview with your therapist so that she can personalize a session for you. Heat will be applied to your area of concern to help relax and release your muscle tension to promote stress relief.
Q. What should I wear?
A. You will be asked to undress to your level of comfort and to lie underneath a sheet. Only the area that is being massaged will be exposed. Once that area is done it will be covered with the sheet and the next area will be exposed and treated.
We encourage you to drink plenty of water after your massage to help your body flush the toxins and lactic acid released during your massage; this will also help prevent soreness.
You can experience a 50 min or 80 min treatment session.
