Aromatherapy centres on the use of essential oils. These are concentrated extracts with healing properties taken from flowers, fruits, herbs and trees. They work in harmony with the body to optimise balance, energy & well-being. Used holistically – that is, taking into account your physical state and mood - they are useful in easing a variety of ailments, both physical and mental.
The oils used and the way they are administered are tailored to your needs in order to achieve the best therapeutic effects. Your chosen essential oils will be diluted in a lotion or carrier oil rich in vitamins and selected to suit your skin type. If massage is not recommended for your condition, alternative ways of using essential oils will be considered and discussed.
Aromatherapy does not always have to involve full body massage. I also offer aromatherapy facials and foot treatments. Once you have completed your initial assessment, you are granted the option to purchase bespoke items for home use; such as shampoo, conditioner, cleanser, toner, face masques, shower gels and bubble bath. These items are blended to your own specific needs, often using organic ingredients, and are not available to the general public.
Though wonderful taken purely as an aromatic massage, aromatherapy also supports the immune system, helping you become less susceptible to ailments. It can also help to ease many symptoms, such as:
- Sinus problems
- Eczema / Psoriasis and other skin conditions
- ‘Women’s Problems’
- Headaches
- Rheumatics
- Pain relief
- Asthma
- Addiction
- Anxiety and depression
- Poor memory / concentration
Aromatherapy will help you feel at peace, feel more like yourself, and should aid you in getting a good night's sleep. Many clients report having felt the positive effects of aromatherapy massage for days afterwards. |
