Aromatherapy is a relaxing massage therapy that utilizes fragrant essential oils for therapeutic benefit. The medicinal and sensory effects of essential oils combine to create a deep multi-level healing that can last as long as 5 months!
The scent of essential oils causes emotional and physical responses as well as endorphin, neuro-peptide and anti-body production. Once absorbed through the skin, oxygenating molecules in essential oils transport nutrients to cells, increasing bio-photonic activity which stimulates the nervous system. Oils bind to toxins and chemicals, drawing them out of body tissues.
Essential oils can be used to alleviate a multitude of health complaints including pain, headaches, a sluggish lymphatic or digestive system, hormonal imbalances, and stress. Highly-concentrated and volatile, the oils are distilled from plants. They contain concentrations of minerals, stimulants, antibiotics, hormones, astringents, and anti-inflammatory agents. The quality of distillation process affects quality, efficacy, and cost.
Practitioners must be highly skilled in selecting and administering appropriate oils. Proper massage techniques and comprehensive study of human anatomy and physiology are required. There are several variations of Aromatherapy Massage and Clinical Aromatherapy including Aromatherapy Lymph Massage and Aroma-Reflex Massage
Indian Head Massage has been used in India for more than 1,000 years. This gentle, relaxing massage allows you to sit comfortably in a chair without disrobing. The 1/2 hour relaxing massage focuses on the upper areas of the body--face, neck, shoulders and upper arms--where stress and tension accumulates causing headaches, stiff neck and shoulders
Champissage combines head massage with a more subtle form of energy balancing. Firm, gentle rythm is used to relieve tension and pain, while Aurvedic chakra balancing focuses on the three higher chakras. Champissage can bring the energy of the whole body back into balance creating a deep sense of peace, calm and well-being.
Egyptian Head and Neck Massage follows the basic principles of head reflexology. Through pressure-point massage, specific areas of the head and ears are stimulated to release tension, reduce fatigue, and improve physical balance. Egyptian Healing Rods are used to enhance this process. Although only focused on the head, the whole body benefits. Some practitioners are covered by extended health care

"I fell and injured my rotator cuff. The doctor gave me exercises, which I did daily and I was taking anti-inflammatories but it wasn't healing very quickly. I decided to try reflexology and see if it would help my shoulder. My range of motion improved dramatically immediately after one session. I was amazed at how much more flexibility I had. I continued with sessions every couple of weeks as normal wear and tear would make my shoulder stiffen up. Everytime I went to Tara for reflexology I could move my shoulder better afterwards. I would HIGHLY recommend her!" Mara D.
