Aromatherapy is defined as the therapeutic use of aromatic substances.
Therapeutic use covers both mind and body, whereas aromatic substances tend to be the essential oils.
As a treatment, Aromatherapy is usually combined with body-contact therapy in the form of massage. The nature of Aromatherapy is as a holistic treatment, restoring balance to mind and body, as well as its
specific use in treating a wide range of symptoms.
Essential oils are pure, concentrated plant extracts obtained specifically for their fragrance and therapeutic value. The chemical composition of these oils is very complex - often tens or hundreds of constituent
parts, and varies for each oil. Any part of a plant may contain it's essential oil - flowers, leaves, fruit, stems, wood, bark, seeds, resin, berries and roots. It is the essential oil that gives the plant its characteristic
smell and flavour.
Each Aromatherapy treatment follows a consultation with each client. This guides me to the choice of organic essential oils and base oils, which I select for the personal requirements of each individual. This
takes into account mind, body and spirit, giving an overall holistic treatment.
Human touch can have a profound effect on physical and emotional wellbeing. Massage therapy uses the therapeutic use of touch, mostly with the hands, but can also include elbows or feet!
Through the use of a variety of special techniques the massage can be developed for the individual. It can be comforting and soothing or stimulating and energising, helping to let go of toxins from the body.
You will leave the table feeling lighter and rejuvenated.
Massage improves circulation of blood flow around the body, bringing fresh oxygen to body tissues. This brings vital nutrients to the tissue and can assist in the elimination of waste products from the area. This
can then speed healing after injury, and enhance recovery from disease. This will also improve the structure and look of the muscles and skin.
I use different styles of massage for each person, including the use of Swedish with Deep Tissue to create a truly muscle melting experience. Depending on your needs it can be deeply relaxing or intense and
rejuvenating.
All massages are customised to your needs using finest and most fantastic organic oils packed full of vitamins and skin caring ingredients
