What is aromatherapy massage?

It is a full-body massage using light to medium pressure and long, soothing strokes. Your therapist dilutes a few drops of essential oil in a carrier oil, chosen to suit how you want to feel: calmer, lighter, or more refreshed.

The focus is relaxation rather than working deep into knots, so it suits anyone who prefers a gentler touch.

Scent reaches the parts of us that words can't. A familiar aroma can relax you before the massage even begins.

Why guests love it

People come to aromatherapy massage for different reasons. The ones we hear most often are:

  • Feeling deeply relaxed and less stressed after a busy week.
  • Sleeping more easily on the night of the treatment.
  • A softer, more nourished feel to the skin from the oils.
  • A calm, quiet hour to switch off completely.

Choosing your oils

Lavender and chamomile are popular for winding down. Eucalyptus and peppermint feel fresh and clearing. Citrus oils like sweet orange and bergamot are bright and uplifting.

Your therapist will let you smell a few options before you begin. Go with the one you enjoy most; liking the scent is a big part of the experience.

Before you book

Let us know if you are pregnant, have sensitive skin or allergies, or have a medical condition. Some essential oils are not suitable for everyone, and we will adjust the blend or suggest a different treatment.

Aromatherapy massage is about comfort and relaxation. It is not a substitute for medical treatment, so check with your doctor if you have any health concerns.
