Traditional Holistic AromatherapySM
Traditional Holistic AromatherapySM is defined a both an Art and the Science of utilizing natural distilled extracts from aromatic plants to heal the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Massage, inhalation and baths containing essential oils are used to transport the essences throughout the body to effect organ functions including sedation, stimulation and digestive aids. Holistic Aromatherapists also seek to explore the psychological and spiritual aspects of an individual’s response to aromatic extracts and enhance the innate healing process. As an holistic therapy, Aromatherapy is both a preventative approach to well-being and an active treatment during acute and chronic stages of illness or ‘dis’ease.

The basis of massage is touch. All too often we are afraid to touch one another. However, research is increasingly proving the extraordinary effectiveness of touch. The warmth and security that touch engenders is necessary for survival. The gentle touching of skin triggers hormonal reactions. Endorphins bring feelings of happiness, increase the willingness to perform, enhance the awareness of vital consciousness and intensity of our sensory perception. Healthy touching induces feelings of tenderness, of warmth and closeness. Massage however is not only physical. The skilled practitioner of Holistic Aromatherapy Massage learns to “understand” the person under their hands as they have developed empathy and intuition
