Aromatherapy and Massage

(full or half body)

Most people will be familiar with the benefits of massage.  The use of aromatherapy oils aids the relaxing effects of the massage.  You can choose between a half or full body massage.  A half body massage covers the head, back and shoulders, and takes about 30 minutes.  A full body massage is the same as the half body massage plus the arms and legs are also covered, and it takes about one hour.

The Aromatherapy Massage treatment

When coming for a treatment, you will be asked about any allergies that you have, so that the correct oils can be chosen for you.  Depending on the aim of the treatment, or how you are feeling on the day, a mix of one or more the following oils can be added to the carrier oil:

• Tea tree;

• Rosemary;

• Ylang ylang;

• Geranium;

• Orange;

• Petitgrain;

• Eucalyptus;

• Lavender

If you are receiving a half body massage you will need to strip to the waist.  If you are receiving a full body massage, you will need to strip to your pants/underpants.  If you are not comfortable with this but would still like to receive a massage, please talk to your therapist.

For the treatment you will lie on a couch, with a towel over the parts that are not being treated.  Complete discretion is used at all times.
