Aromatherapy Massage

What is Aromatherapy Massage?

Aromatherapy massage combines gentle massage techniques with the therapeutic use of essential oils to promote physical and emotional wellbeing. The oils are carefully selected based on your needs and diluted in a carrier oil for safe application to the skin.

This holistic treatment engages both the sense of smell (through inhalation) and touch (through massage), creating a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.
