For the perfect antidote to pre-Christmas stress head to Aromatherapy Associates for a deep relaxing massage to support the equilibrium.
When it’s freezing outside and you’re running around here, there and everywhere putting in the hours Christmas shopping, running to the nativity play and planning a feast for the whole family, the run-up to Christmas can leave even the calmest amongst us feeling exhausted. However, finding a way and the time to relax can be tricky. Aromatherapy Associate’s Christmas Stress Reviver is just the answer – so set aside some ‘me’ time and feel any stress and tension simply float away.
The Aromatherapy Associates boutique and spa offers a hushed, luxurious refuge, away from the hustle and bustle of London in the heart of Knightsbridge (the perfect spot to squeeze in some pre-treatment Christmas shopping). Your therapist will begin with a lifestyle analysis and consultation, you will then be asked to choose from the following scents;
- De-Stress Body, Support Equilibrium, containing geranium, frankincense, and rose, helps to create a sense of harmony.
- Light Relax, containing lavender, ylang ylang and petitgrain, helps unwind and ease a tired body and mind, and
- De-stress Mind, containing frankincense, rosemary and wild camomile essential oils is celebrated for its spiritually uplifting qualities.
Whichever you choose, your therapist will combine a mixture of deep relaxation, reflexology, and calming aromatherapy massage, beginning with your feet and then concentrating on your back, neck, shoulders and legs. When your therapist is working on the upper areas of your body, a hot water bottle warms those tired feet cosily inside layers of towels and blankets. From the tips of your toes to the top of your spine, you will be left feeling encouraged and uplifted.
After your massage, you are invited to sit and chat with your therapist to discuss your treatment and how you can adapt the Christmas Stress Reviver, alongside the oils you chose, into your life in the upcoming weeks before Christmas. Your therapist can then prescribe the perfect blend of oils to take home, whether it’s a relaxing bath oil, muscle rub, or reviving moisturiser, to help restore a little balance and infuse positive thinking. The perfect remedy during times of stress and emotional upheaval or perhaps when the in-laws, great aunties et al descend at Christmas.
The Aromatherapy Associates Christmas Stress Reviver is priced at £90 for 60 minutes and is available at the Aromatherapy Associates Boutique & Treatment Rooms,7 Montpellier Street, London, SW7 1EX and is available until the 31st December.
