What to Expect During Your First
Treatment.
Aromatherapy is
found to be more beneficial when used to treat the whole person and not
just the physical condition, within an holistic framework, in order to
maintain a balance of mental, physical and spiritual health.
The session will
begin by the therapist taking a detailed medical history, followed with
questions about your lifestyle, your diet and your health problems.
(Occasionally, it may be found during the consultation that there are
contraindications to aromatherapy massage, for example, if the client is
recovering from surgery, is in the first months of pregnancy, or has
deep vein thrombosis. This is not a definitive list there are
other conditions where it is inadvisable to carry out aromatherapy
treatment.)
A synergistic
blend of essential oils will be created specially for the client’s
specific condition(s) and blended with a carrier oil.
During the massage, the client’s body will be fully covered with towels
except for the area that is being treated, and the head. To
complete the experience, the music, temperature and lighting levels will
be adjusted to suit the client.
The first session
could last up to two hours, including the pre-treatment consultant, but
subsequent treatments will take approximately 75 minutes.
For long-term, (chronic) conditions, the therapist may recommend a
series of treatments of one treatment a week for a few weeks, then
follow-ups two to four weeks later.
The therapist can
also provide advice and tailor products to the client’s individual needs
to enhance and continue the treatment at home.
