Aromatherapy in Your Massage Session

Imagine stepping into a serene space where gentle scents greet you, inviting your mind and body to unwind. Aromatherapy has been cherished for thousands of years for its ability to soothe, heal, and rejuvenate. The ancient Egyptians used fragrant oils in their daily rituals, the Greeks turned to them for relaxation and healing, and the Romans infused their baths with essential oils to enhance wellness. Over centuries, these aromatic traditions naturally found their way into massage therapy, blending the power of touch with the therapeutic benefits of scent.

In my massage and energy work sessions, I use natural essential oils to create a calming atmosphere, ease tension, and support emotional balance. All oils are always blended with a carrier oil and are never applied “neat” directly on the skin. Aromatherapy can complement relaxation, help restore your energy, and make your session even more restorative. Because I use aromatherapy throughout the day, if you are sensitive to scents or have allergies, it’s best to schedule your appointment at the start of the day rather than later.

All the oils I use are natural, with a select few being organic. If you have allergies to certain essential oils or lotions, please let me know ahead of time and note it on your client intake form so I can ensure your safety and comfort. Please note that I do not perform the raindrop therapy technique. Your session will focus on safe, personalized aromatherapy integration to enhance relaxation, energy work, and overall massage benefits.
