Q1: What is the difference between aromatherapy and regular massage?
A: While a regular massage focuses primarily on muscle manipulation, an aromatherapy massage prioritises the nervous system. It uses essential oils to create a chemical and sensory response in the body, making it much more focused on emotional and mental wellbeing.
Q2: Can I get an aromatherapy massage if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, however, please inform your therapist and reception of any allergies. For any medical conditions we strongly advise clearing any of our treatments with your Doctor first.
Q3: Is this massage suitable for everyone?
A: Most people can enjoy this treatment, but it is not recommended for those with certain skin infections or severe allergies. Pregnant women should always disclose their pregnancy so we can ensure the oils used are safe for the baby.
Q4: How do I choose the right essential oil for my session?
A: During your initial consultation, your therapist will present a curated selection of therapeutic blends. Whether you need to uplift your mood with citrus essences, clear your respiratory system with eucalyptus, or induce deep sleep with lavender, we help you select the scent that resonates most with your current physical and emotional state. This ensures your massage with essential oils is perfectly aligned with your wellness goals.
Q5: What should I do after my aromatherapy massage to maximize the benefits?
A: To allow the therapeutic oils to fully penetrate the skin, we recommend waiting at least two to four hours before showering. It is also important to stay well-hydrated to assist your body in flushing out metabolic waste. Additionally, because some essential oils can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, we advise avoiding direct UV exposure immediately following your massage.
