Aromatherapy Massage
Is a combination of essential oils and nurturing, relaxing touch to encourage complete relaxation of the mind, body, heart and soul. During the massage the essential oils enter the body in two ways - inhaled through the nasal passage they have a direct effect on the mind, emotions and nervous system. Applied to the skin the essential oils travel into the blood stream and then into the systems (blood, lymph) and organs of the body. The essential oils used are specially choosen to meet the emotional, energetic and physical needs of the person at the time of their massage. These are compatible and bioavailable to the physical body and mind when applied and used correctly. The powerful, sometimes subtle, and other times profound affects of essential oils and touch have the potential - depending on each person to:
Ease mental, emotional and physical tension
Aid deep levels of relaxation
Stimulate fluidity and release blockages
Encourage balance and flow
Alievate aches and pains
Clear, cleanse and aid elimination of toxins
Sedate and relax
Energise and revitalise
Bring emotional balance
Integrate and regulate
Soothe and nourish
An Aromatherapy massage is potentially beneficial for everyone - Children, Teenagers, Adults, Elderly, Pregnant and Postnatal women. Some particular benefits are for people experiencing:
Stress
Anxiety
Grief
Exhaustion
Low Mood
Lack of Energy
Sleeplessness
The need to feel nurtured and cared for
A challenging situation
A time of personal growth
Maintaining a sense of wellbeing
Regular Aromatherapy massage has its benefits however sometimes a one off massage can also be of great benefit. I encourage people to tune in and see what feels right for them. Each persons experience will be different and may be influenced by such things as:
How long they have been experiencing particular symptoms, carrying tension, exposed to stress, accumulating toxins, age, general health etc. Willingness and readiness to release (clear) and let go of what no longer serves their “higher good”
Openness to exploring a deeper meaning and understanding of what they are experiencing
Ability to make life-style changes to support and enhance ongoing wellness
My emphasis and focus when working with people is holistic and goes beyond physical symptoms to assist and enhance wellbeing on all levels - mind, body and spirit. I consider my role is to be alongside the person, to guide, support, encourage and to re-assure them of their body’s intelligence and natural ability to heal itself. In my observation over many years, this approach provides an opportunity for the person to become more aware of tensions held in the body and mind. And through this awareness to experience the difference when these tensions are released. Most people commonly experience a sense of ease and lightness and more connected and present within themselves. COST $80 - for an hour
NB the first consultation generally takes longer. At least 48 hours notice is required if the appointment needs to be cancelled or rescheduled. If not a late fee of $45 will be charged. Please see disclaimer for further information. Aromatherapy Consultation and Custom Blending
A consultation begins with the gathering of information to establish a holistic overview about the persons current health and wellbeing status including general lifestyle details. This initial consultation helps to inform which essential oils may be appropriate to use and best to apply them. Whilst essential oils are generally considered safe to use there are circumstances when their use in not appropriate to be use i.e. contra-indicated. Everyones bio-chemistry and constitution is unique. I consider that it is important to get to know a person and to build a trusting rapport. To understand the persons needs and their expectations and to work together to create a treatment plan to best support them. Aromatherapy blends can be used to treat a wide and varied range of physical and emotional conditions and are easy to use. Essential Oil Blends are formulated and how to apply them is based on:
The persons unique characteristics and current needs and circumstances. Best method of application i.e. how the blend is to be used - applied to the body, used in water or inhaled via a vaporiser etc. A personalised consultation means oils are specially choosen to meet individual needs rather than for general use, and therefore more likely to have a different and deeper effect. If you would like more information about a consultation phone or text me on 021 2014925 or private message me on my page, or email me aromaticdispensary@xtra.co.nz
Cost - $75 for initial appointment including 1 blend. $45 for follow up appointment(s) plus blend(s) cost - usually between $10 - $25. I require an in-depth consultation before making a custom blend unless there is already an established relationship. ONLINE CONSULTS ARE AVAILABLE
