Aromatherapy & Massage

Aromatherapy oils are derived from plants, flowers and trees, each containing their own therapeutic qualities.  There are different extraction processes, including steam and expression.  

 

Rose oil is one of the most expensive oils, rose petals are picked by hand before sunrise, it takes four tonnes of petals to make approximately one and a half pints of essential oil.  

 

The most popular essential oil is lavender, which has many uses including relaxation and the treatment of burns.  Lavender and tea tree are the only essential oils that can be applied directly to the skin, all other essential oils must be diluted in a carrier oil.

 

For an aromatherapy massage, I will select 3 different oils that complement each other, known as a synergy.  This can be to lift the spirits or tailored towards muscular aches and pains.  Essential oils improve our overall sense of well being.  The olfactory bulb is the first of our cranial nerves and used for our sense of smell, which gives us our first indication of safety.  With essential oils that have been blended just for you, it will lift your spirits and induce a deep sense of relaxation. 

 

Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage, including mini facial, head and scalp.

 

My massage treatments are designed to relieve tension from the upper body neck and scalp.  Using aromatherapy massage techniques, essential oils and hot stones if desired, your treatment will allow you to slip into deep relaxation.   We hold emotion and tension especially in our shoulders and neck, especially when we feel we have the weight of the world on our shoulders.  The lower back can ache when we are not feeling supported or we have tackled more than enough in the garden.  

 

For your facial, a cleanse and tone with products that are SLS and paraben-free and not been tested on animals.  I then massage your face neck and upper chest with our chosen essential oil blend or moisturiser, targeting specific release points leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised. 

 

Each treatment is approximately 45 minutes and tailored specifically to suit you.
