Aromatherapy Massage combines therapeutic massage techniques with carefully selected essential oils to create a deeply relaxing and personalised treatment for both body and mind. Your treatment begins with a consultation, allowing us to consider your preferences, the type of experience you are looking for and any relevant health or lifestyle considerations before selecting the most appropriate oils.
Aromatherapy is a complementary wellbeing practice that uses essential oils extracted from aromatic plants, including flowers, leaves, fruits, roots, bark and other parts of the plant. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts with distinctive aromas and properties. They can be incorporated into massage through a suitably diluted blend, while the aroma creates an additional sensory element to the treatment.
Different oils have traditionally been selected for their individual characteristics. Some are associated with relaxation and calm, while others are fresh, uplifting or energising. At Healing Hands Haven, aromatherapy is combined with massage to create a holistic experience tailored to your individual wellbeing.
Your massage can range from gentle and flowing to a firmer approach where appropriate, depending on your preferences and the areas you would like to focus on. Every treatment is personalised through consultation, allowing your chosen oils and massage experience to reflect how you are feeling and what you would like from your treatment.
Promote Deep Relaxation
Massage and carefully selected essential oils can promote deep relaxation and encourage a sense of calm.
Ease Everyday Muscular Tension
Massage can help ease everyday muscular tension and stiffness, particularly around the back, neck and shoulders.
Support Circulation
Massage can support circulation and leave the body feeling lighter and more comfortable.
Relax Tired Muscles
Aromatherapy Massage can help relax tired and overworked muscles following everyday activity.
Support a Calmer Bedtime Routine
Taking time to unwind through massage and aromatherapy can support a calmer bedtime routine.
Lift Your Mood
The combination of massage and aromatherapy can create a positive sense of wellbeing, with different oils offering a calming, uplifting or refreshing sensory experience.
Nourish & Condition the Skin
Appropriately diluted oils can help nourish and condition the skin during your treatment.
Women experience many changes throughout their lives, and perimenopause and menopause can be a particularly significant time of transition. Changes in hormones can affect many aspects of everyday wellbeing, including sleep, mood, stress levels, energy, muscular tension and feelings of fluid retention. A personalised aromatherapy massage can provide valuable support during this transition by combining massage, therapeutic touch and carefully selected essential oils to encourage deep relaxation, ease everyday muscular tension, promote a sense of calm and create time to rest and reconnect with yourself.
For some women, having regular time dedicated to their own wellbeing can become an important part of navigating the physical and emotional changes that can accompany this stage of life.
What makes my aromatherapy treatments different is that your experience does not necessarily have to end when your treatment does. Where appropriate, we can create a personalised essential oil blend based on your consultation, your preferences and the type of wellbeing experience you are looking for.
You will have the option to purchase your individualised blend to take home, allowing you to continue using the same oils as part of your personal self care routine. This creates continuity between your treatment and your everyday wellbeing, giving you the opportunity to continue enjoying your chosen aroma and incorporating it into your own relaxation rituals at home.
A Note on Your Treatment
Essential oils are highly concentrated and will be appropriately diluted for use. A consultation will be completed before treatment to identify
relevant contraindications, allergies or sensitivities.
