Aromatherapy massage is a type of massage that involves the use of essential oils. These oils are derived from plants and have a pleasant aroma. During an aromatherapy massage, as your therapist, I will typically use a combination of essential oils that are tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences. The oils are usually diluted in a carrier oil and applied to the skin during the massage.
The goal of aromatherapy massage is to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall well-being. The the aroma of the essential oils can have a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The massage itself can also help to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation.
Aromatherapy massage is often combined with other massage techniques, such as Swedish massage or deep tissue massage. It is important to communicate with me about any allergies or sensitivities you may have to ensure that the oils used are safe for you. It is also important to let your therapist know if you have any medical conditions or are pregnant, as certain essential oils may not be suitable in these cases.
