What is Holistic Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy provides a means of relaxing, de-stressing and relief from many physical and mental symptoms. It does this by using a blend of Essential Oils in a Carrier Oil that is massaged into the skin of the client.

The Essential Oils are powerful extracts from plants that have many and varied properties. Some can stimulate blood and energy flow, others calm the mind and emotions. Some can help to strengthen the immune system, some can raise blood pressure, others can help to lower it, some are diuretic and enable toxins to be released.

The range of effects is extremely varied, depending on the blends used and reasons for coming for treatment. This is why a consultation is required before the treatment starts.

The Carrier Oil helps to transport the Essential Oils through the layers of the skin and into the bloodstream and helps with the massage strokes by lubricating the skin's surface. Carrier Oils also contain vitamins to help keep skin supple and toned.

The Massage aspect of Aromatherapy helps to keep muscular tone, releases tension and helps with releasing toxins, through the skin and other ways! It also provides the comfort of healing touch. The Holistic aspect of Aromatherapy balances energy flows on a subtle level as well as a physical one, as meridian lines and "tsubo points" release blockages and tensions.

Full Body Aromatherapy

In a safe space and with towels covering the body, the back, arms, legs, (and face, optional), are massaged with a blend of oils chosen specifically for each session. Meridians and "tsubo" (acupressure) points run and pressed, if required.

Back, Neck and Shoulders.

More time will be spent on these areas, where most people hold most tension. Neuromuscular techniques used to release stress. Deep tissue massage available if needed. Meridians and tsubos as above.

Deep Tissue Massage

Using deeper pressure and neuromuscular techniques can help release knotted muscles and ease painful conditions.

Holistic Facial

Lying on your back, head resting comfortably, the shoulders, neck and facial muscles will be gently soothed and rejuvenated with a blend of oils specifically chosen.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese term for "spiritually directed universal energy" and is used to balance on all levels, spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. It is a form of hands-on spiritual healing and is performed with the client fully clothed. It can be relaxing or energising, per what the client requires at that moment. A quick consultation is requested to ascertain what the client is looking for in the treatment session and sessions can be booked according to how long the client feels is necessary.
