Massage Therapies

Aromatherapy

The use of plants and herbs to promote well-being is as old as civilisation itself. Aromatherapy is the art and science of using naturally extracted essences from plants, flowers, roots, barks and resin which contain complex and powerful natural chemicals to balance and harmonise the body.

A personalised blend of essential oils are mixed and tailored according to particular requirements, creating unique blend, then applied using massage techniques to relax and body and mind and restore a natural equilibrium.

Aromatherapy can have physiological and psychological benefits. There is a great deal of research being undertaken world wide into the effects of massage and aromatherapy and researchers at the University of Miami have shown massage can reduce anxiety, help depression, ease PMS, lower blood pressure and boost the natural killer cells of the immune system. Research has also shown improved quality of life for patients with chronic illness.
