The oils, the quiet, the warmth of a space set for rest.
A full-body exhale. A space to put the doing down.
Most of us arrive with something still held in the body. AromaTouch is a practitioner-led ritual designed to release that: a structured sequence of eight essential oils applied along the back and feet with rhythmic, light touch. The oils and their order are precise. A grounding note to begin, a calming note to settle, warming notes to release tension, a bright note to finish. It is not a massage. Nothing is worked or manipulated. The oils do the work.
Essential oils are absorbed through the skin and inhaled as they are applied, reaching the nervous system and the limbic brain - the part of us most connected to emotion, memory, and stress response. The sequence works across several of the body's systems: supporting immune function, calming an overactivated stress response, and restoring a sense of balance and ease.
You arrive, and we begin with a short conversation. If there are preferences, anywhere you do not wish to be touched, or a scent you know you dislike, we note it. You lie down, fully clothed apart from the back and feet. The room is warmed and dimmed, the air softly scented, music quiet in the background. After roughly forty minutes, the sequence is complete.
The oils, the quiet, the warmth of a space set for rest.
Sessions are held in-person with Lisa. Availability is limited, so booking ahead is recommended.
AromaTouch makes a thoughtful gift for someone who has been giving a lot and could use an hour of receiving.
