Aromatherapy

This is an ancient therapy, dating back to Egypt and beyond.  Using essential oils derived from plants, flowers, fruits, seeds and wood.  The therapist creates a synergy of oils to suit the individual.  Blends can be used to relax, revitalise or stimulate the body, mind and spirit in a holistic sense.  The treatment uses both essential and carrier oils (as essential oils should not be used directly on the skin, exception to this are the oils, Lavender and Tea Tree), blended specifically for the client and applied via massage. 

The massage will boost the lymphatic system (the ‘spring clean’ system of the body), revitalise the skin, tone muscle and give a general feeling of well being to the client.  Aromatherapy is not a cure to illness, but can definitely be used too complement orthodox forms of treatment.  As a qualified Aromatherapist, I will look beyond just the application of the oils, and more at the balance of your life, and how the oils can enhance this. 

What to expect when you come along for a massage.

Having a Holistic Treatment is a special occasion for clients and we understand that you may well be nervous to start with, it’s fine to be nervous, but our job is to make you feel comfortable and at ease.  If at any stage of the treatment you feel uncomfortable, you need to say so, the treatment is about you.  Therefore whether you come to us or we come to you, we will start the first treatment with a consultation and a chat.  This is quite in depth, as it enables the therapist to treat you as a whole being.  After which the therapist will leave you alone, for you to undress and get on the couch.  The couch always has towels for you to cover yourself.  During the treatment, your modesty will be uppermost, keeping you covered by the towels.  Once the treatment is ended, and the therapist will let you know, you are given time to relax and come round, before getting dressed in privacy. 

What aftercare can you expect from SAOL Therapies?

Once the treatment is finished, it’s essential to drink lots of water or herbal teas to boost the immune system and help the lymphatic system do its job.  We’ll have a chat about the treatment, and we very much welcome feedback from you.  In a day or so, if you wish, we will give you a call to check how you are following the treatment.  There is no obligation to buy more treatments, however regular treatments do give you a boost, both physically and mentally.  We welcome everyone, who would like to give any of our treatments a try!

In order for SAOL Therapies to give you the best possible treatment please let me know, before visiting, if you suffer from any serious medical conditions, especially if related to the nervous system e.g. epilepsy or to the heart and circulation; in some cases we may need to seek permission from your GP before proceeding with any treatment.
