Aromatherapy massages combine soft, gentle pressure with the use of essential oils. Your massage therapist will offer you a selection of scents to see which one speaks to you. Essential oils are diluted before being applied to the skin.

During the massage, you’ll be given a full-body massage while inhaling essential oils through a diffuser and absorbing them through your skin. Sometimes an aromatherapy massage will only focus on your back, shoulders, and head. 

• Aromatherapy combines the gentle touches of Swedish massage with the addition of essential oils.
• Do not use this type of massage if you’re sensitive to smell or essential oils.

Aromatherapy massages are best for people who want to have an emotional healing component to their massage. This type of massage can help:

• boost your mood

• reduce symptoms of depression
