As autumn settles in, the air turns cooler, the light softens, and our senses awaken to change. Fall invites us to turn inward and choose the scents that bring warmth and balance to our days. This is the perfect season to consider the scents you welcome into your rituals — the ones that ground you, uplift you, and remind you of your inner rhythm.

In our Relaxing Blend, you’ll find lavender, neroli, and sandalwood — a soft, floral trio that quiets the mind and encourages gentle presence. Our Uplifting Blend features bergamot, mandarin, lime, and frankincense, bright notes that energize the spirit and open the heart. And our Grounding Blend, with sandalwood, vetiver, and palo santo, offers depth and stability — the essence of calm, earthy balance.

Each blend is crafted with care to align body, mind, and spirit — available as individual roll-ons or as a complete trio for full aromatic balance. Whether you seek focus and clarity, relaxation and ease, or a renewed sense of joy, there’s a Rasa blend to guide you back to center.

Explore our essential oil collection in the Rasa Spa Boutique — available in person at our Downtown Ithaca location or online for convenient pickup and delivery.

Breathe deeply. Find your center. Feel renewed.

When scheduling your massage, take a moment to reflect on your goals for the session and consider which type of bodywork may be most beneficial at this time.

For instance, Neuromuscular or Trigger Point Therapy focuses on releasing restrictions in the connective tissue, enhancing mobility, and alleviating pain for a more comfortable range of motion. Swedish Massage is ideal if you’re new to massage or seeking overall wellness; it promotes relaxation and stress relief through long, flowing strokes that soothe both body and mind. Alternatively, if you’re managing chronic tension or muscle aches, Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and fascia to provide lasting relief.

Each massage therapist at Rasa brings a unique blend of training, intuition, and technique to their work. Taking a few moments to read through our staff bios, either on our website or directly in MindBody when booking, can help you find the practitioner whose approach best aligns with your needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking to restore balance, increase mobility, or simply unwind, connecting with the right therapist can make all the difference in your experience.
