Massage Enhancements
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.
It is used as a complementary therapy or as a form of alternative medicine, and typically is used via inhalation. Depending on the oil used, they can create different effects and address specific ailments.
Aromatherapy Massage is a massage where these oils are incorporated. In addition to inhalation, the oils are used by incorporating them into a carrier oil and placed upon pressure points as well as along the client's spine. Depending on the oil used, they can create different effects and address specific ailments.
Examples include (but are not limited to):
Lavender for enhanced relaxation and inner peace
Eucalyptus for sore muscles and to help clear sinuses
Sweet Orange for energy and uplifted mood
Peppermint for headaches and migraines
Hot Stone
CBD Massage is what it sounds like. It offers all the same benefits of a massage but while using the enhancement achieved when using a CBD Oil.
CBD is a cannabinoid, one of the compounds found in Marijuana. However, CBD doesn't contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high. Due to this, it is not considered a controlled substance and is federally legal.
Research shows that CBD might have a number of benefits, such as easing pain and stress, reducing inflammation, improving skin conditions, improving sleep, lessening headaches and migraines, as well as help someone ease deeper into their massage session to achieve the best possible benefit.

Hot stone massage is a massage method that uses hot stones to help relax and soothe muscles. Heating up the tissues can help achieve greater results in a session as the stones help to "melt" the muscles (much like the relief we feel getting in a hot bath or using a heating pad).
Similar to many enhancements added to a session, hot stones can be especially helpful to ease someone into a session. Sometimes a little added feature helps the nervous system "let go" of its bracing mode we often live in and can help quiet an over-active mind.
Performed by a Licensed Massage Therapist, massage therapy involves using different pressures, movements and techniques to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues in the body. With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness.
Massage Therapy can be utilized to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, lessen pain and muscle tension, improve immune system, reduce constipation, lessen fibromyalgia symptoms, improve circulation and lymphatic process, and more.
