Aromatherapy Massage
A gentle full-body massage performed with carefully blended essential oils — lavender, eucalyptus, frankincense — chosen for the mood and result you want. Soothing for both body and mind.
- Reduces anxiety
- Lifts mood
- Improves sleep
- Soothes muscle tension
What the aromatherapy massage actually is
Aromatherapy massage pairs gentle full-body technique with essential oils blended for the result you are after — lavender and chamomile to settle, eucalyptus and peppermint to clear, frankincense and geranium to ground. The oils are diluted into a carrier oil and worked into the skin, while the aroma does quieter work through the breath.
The massage itself sits close to Swedish in pace and pressure. What changes is the depth of the calm: scent reaches the parts of the brain involved in mood and memory quickly, which is why guests often describe the session as feeling more emotionally restorative than a standard massage.
Who it suits best
- Stress, low mood and mental fatigue
- Anyone struggling to switch off at the end of the day
- Guests who want relaxation with a sensory element
- Recovery weeks after an intense work period
- People who find scent genuinely calming
Benefits you can expect
Lower everyday anxiety
The combination of unhurried touch and a chosen blend gives an anxious nervous system two clear signals to stand down.
Lifted mood
Citrus and floral blends leave most guests noticeably brighter for the rest of the day — useful mid-week rather than only as a weekend treat.
Deeper sleep
An evening lavender-led session is our standard recommendation for guests whose sleep has thinned out.
Soothed muscles
Warm oil and slow strokes ease general tightness without the intensity of deep tissue work.
What to expect in the room
- 1You are offered two or three blends to smell and choose from — your nose is the best guide.
- 2The therapist explains what is in the blend and checks for allergies or sensitivities.
- 3A full-body massage follows at a slow, even pace, with extra time on the back, neck and scalp.
- 4The room is kept dim and quiet; music stays low or off entirely if you prefer.
- 5You rest for a few minutes at the end before getting up.
How we set the pressure
Light to medium by default. The point of this treatment is the settling effect, so we keep pressure comfortable rather than challenging — though the therapist will happily spend firmer time on the shoulders if that is where you hold everything.
Aftercare
- Leave the oils on your skin for a few hours if you can — the benefit continues after the session.
- Drink water through the rest of the day — muscle work moves fluid around and hydration helps you feel clearer.
- Keep the next hour gentle if you can. A slow walk is fine; a heavy gym session usually is not.
- A warm shower or bath in the evening extends the release you felt on the table.
Booking this in Westlands
This is the treatment Westlands guests most often book as a gift, and the one we most often bring to homes in Riverside, Kilimani, Lavington and Spring Valley. For a mobile aromatherapy visit all we need is a quiet room; the candles, blends and linen arrive with the therapist.
