The Treatment
What is a Aromatherapy massage?
Aromatherapy massage combines therapeutic touch with the science of scent. Therapeutic-grade essential oils are blended into a carrier oil and worked into the skin, absorbed both through the skin and through smell, where they act on the brain's limbic system, the centre of emotion and nervous-system regulation.
It works on two levels at once: physically it releases muscle tension through a full-body Swedish sequence, and neurologically it shifts you out of stress and into genuine parasympathetic rest. It is especially effective for stress, poor sleep, anxiety and skin health.
At Aurrum no two aromatherapy sessions use the same blend. Alexa selects oils around your goals for the day, prepares them fresh and warms them before application, and the room is scent-prepared before you arrive.

Aromatherapy massage FAQ
Will the scent linger on my skin afterwards?
A pleasant residual scent usually stays for a few hours. We can apply a lighter concentration if you prefer subtlety or have evening plans.
Can I request a specific oil I respond to?
Yes. Mention it when you book on WhatsApp and Alexa will confirm whether we have it in stock.
Are the oils safe if I have allergies?
Disclose any known allergies at booking. Some oils, such as nut-derived carriers or specific florals, are substituted based on your profile.
Is aromatherapy massage safe during pregnancy?
Some essential oils are not recommended during pregnancy. We have a pregnancy-safe protocol, so please let us know at booking.
How is this different from a regular massage with oil?
Standard massage uses neutral oil purely for glide. Aromatherapy uses active therapeutic compounds chosen to produce specific physical and neurological effects.
