Aromatherapy Treatments
Aromatherapy is a truly holistic therapy, treating both body and mind by using the essential oils extracted from many different plants. It is a practice which dates back thousands of years.
There are several methods of using the oils, but in the UK massage is the most popular, combining the therapeutic properties of essential oils with the power of touch. Ideally the aromatherapist also uses soft lighting and gentle background music to help create a deeply relaxing environment, along with lots of large, soft towels to ensure the client feels totally at ease.
Aromatherapy massage is used to help relieve pain, to ease tension and fatigue and to invigorate the whole body. It can help with both physical and emotional conditions, or simply be used to give yourself a bit of well-deserved pampering! Treatment may also include the making-up of a personalised blend of essential oils for use at home, either in the bath or in an oil-burner.
A short consultation takes place at the start of each session, in order to assess the client's specific needs and suitability for the treatment. The therapist then carefully chooses and blends the essential oils which should be most beneficial to the client. Of course, all treatments can be adapted to suit your own preferences, so don't hesitate to ask!
