Enhance Your Massage Session with Aromatherapy

Select the essential oil for your session.

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 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” or directly on the skin. Raindrop Therapy is not available for your session. Aromatherapy can complement relaxation, help restore your energy, and make your session even more restorative.

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.

An array of essential oils to choose from for your session.

I offer a small selection of essential oils and proprietary blends, White Flower, including favorites from Young Living such as Copaiba, Clarity, and Balance, which many clients particularly enjoy. Additional single oils, proprietary blends, and a small selection of organic options are also available and are included in your session price.

At this time, I cannot purchase specialty essential oils for just your session. You may bring your own. Before bringing them to your session, please check with me to make sure they are safe and appropriate for use.

Because I use aromatherapy throughout the day, if you are sensitive to scents it’s best to schedule your appointment at the start of the day rather than later. If you have allergies to any essential or carrier oils, lotions or creams please inform me both on your client intake form and with a gentle reminder before your session starts.

Aromatherapy Diffuser or a Vaporizer can be used for your session.

Additional Options:

Aromatherapy Diffuser/Vaporizer - If you would rather not use essential oils on your body, I have an aromatherapy diffuser available. I can also add oils onto your head rest cover or on a tissue.

Rescue Remedy – Can be applied to skin or added to water to drink. Made with 27% grain alcohol. Effects may occur immediately or within 20 minutes. Non-habit forming.

Bach Flower Remedies - I have a limited supply of Bach Flower Remedies. Feel free to inquire about what I currently have in stock.
