• Bodywork & the Art of Aromatherapy Massage

The idea of a massage is to create relaxation and 'Well Being'. It sometimes involves light massage movements or in-depth massage techniques. Aromatherapy massage does not necessarily adopt any particular massage system as the training encourages the student/ therapists to use what is the most appropriate approach to bodywork at the time of visit of the client.

Aromatherapy massage involves using individually blended essential oils in a carrier or vegetable oil and applied to the whole body in a harmonious and peaceful manner.
