What it is.
Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils alongside the massage strokes themselves. You choose your oil blend at the start — we offer three: bergamot and cedarwood, neroli and rose, lavender and frankincense. The pressure is light to medium throughout. The work is slow.
Who it suits.
For the night before something difficult. For the week that has been mostly screens. For the body that is not in pain but is not quite at rest either. For anyone who wants to come close to falling asleep.

Honest answers.
Is this just a relaxation massage with oils?
Sort of. The difference is the slowness — aromatherapy is paced more deliberately than Swedish at the same pressure level.
What if I have a sensitivity to certain oils?
Tell us at booking and we will bring a neutral carrier oil only. Or skip aromatherapy and book Swedish instead.
Will I fall asleep?
You might. Most do, briefly. The therapist keeps working.
