Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential plant oils with unique therapeutic properties. The essential oils are blended specifically for each client according to need and then used for massage or self help at home.

This is a tradition dating back centuries when these oils were used medicinally and were highly prized trading commodities. Each oil has unique chemistry and many modern medicines are derived from the same plants.

How does it work?

Aromatherapy uses the comforting touch of massage to relieve both physical and emotional tension in the body. This can help relieve symptoms while promoting relaxation and well-being. The body’s own immune system is stimulated, eliminating toxins and rebalancing the flow of energy.

After a holistic consultation, a client’s symptoms, overall health and lifestyle are reviewed and then a choice of oils is made.

How long does it take?

Treatment times vary, e.g.

Facials: 30 mins or 45 mins

Back, neck and shoulder massage: 45 mins

Full body massage: 1 hour (1.5 hours for the first consultation)
