Nature's Treasures Aromatherapy Massage
What is Aromatherapy Massage?
Aromatherapy is an ancient holistic medicine designed to treat the whole person: body, mind and spirit. In the practice of Aromatherapy, we use essential oils extracted from flowers, seeds, fruits, leaves, roots, woods, and the resins of aromatic plants. The oils have medicinal and therapeutic properties and are used throughout Europe in hospitals as complementary therapy.
Angeline Marshall, R.A. is a Registered Aromatherapist in British Columbia trained in anatomy and physiology, as well as in the properties and contra-indications of essential oils and massage.
Aromatherapy is much more than nice smells. Aromatherapy oils have a small molecular structure that penetrate past the skin and work in the body. Some of the oils work by calming the central nervous system, while others have stimulating, uplifting qualities. Essential oils also have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which are wonderful for tired, aching muscles.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
During a session, a client participates in choosing the blend of oils that will be used in their massage. Angeline will choose a custom oil blend based on the client consultation. Clients may want to feel rejuvenated and energized after their massage, while others want to feel relaxed, and this is taken into consideration when choosing a custom oil blend.
The oils are blended appropriately and clients can pick from appropriate top notes chosen for them, as well as the middle and base notes. Notes can be more feminine or masculine depending on the client. The synergistic blend of oils that is made using input from both Angeline and her client are then used in the client’s aromatherapy massage treatment.
