Aromatherapy is the controlled use of Essential Oils to maintain and promote physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing. Once of the most effective and enjoyable methods of utilizing Aromatherapy is to incorporate it with massage. During Aromatherapy Massage, essential oils are added to massage oil and are then applied during a massage. Aromatherapy massage has many benefits, and affects the body in two ways, inhalation and absorption.
The inhalation of aromatherapy oils affects the nervous system, changes heart rate, breathing, digestive functions, stress levels, and triggers memory. Essential oils, when applied to the skin during a massage, absorb through the skin and into the blood vessels and directly into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream, essential oils have a powerful affect on the body. Each essential oil has its own unique properties. They can purify the blood, increase digestion, warm or cool the body, relieve anxiety, increase or decrease heart rate and breathing rate, and re-balance hormones, just to name a few benefits.
Dependant upon your unique health situation, and your desired outcome, an Essential oil blend will be made specifically for you and will be added to massage oil and applied to the skin during a 90 minute Swedish Relaxation Massage.

Reiki is a ancient technique that is generally used to reduce stress and promote relaxation thereby triggering the body's innate healing system. It is based on the belief that life force energy flows through us and is what give us life. Reiki is administered by the therapist holding her hands 1-2 inches above the bodies chakra centers and allowing life force energy to flow through her, to the recipient. If your "life force energy" is depleted, then we are more likely to get sick. If your "life force energy" is high, we are more capable of being in an optimum state of physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health. This mini treatment will cover all of the main chakra centers on the front of the body only.
