[ 22 ] • # dayspamagazine • december 2017 spotlight by Taylor Foley How does aromatherapy fi t into your professional services? Sarah Miles, spa director, Spa Roma in Morgantown, West Virginia: Because aromatherapy provides so many benefi ts to the mind and body, we offer it as an add-on to massage services to enhance the client's experience, with prices ranging from $10-$30 depending on the oil blend. We also have body treatments that include Biotone essential oils to target specifi c body parts, including the Waistline treatment (45 min./$90) to shape and slim the waist; the Legs treatment (45 min./$90) to reduce swelling and improve circulation; the Refi ne treatment (45 min./$120) to smooth the skin; and the Firmness treatment (45 min./$120) to boost elasticity and tone. Kerri Nau, account executive and trainer, Aromatherapy Associates, with multiple partner locations: One of our signature treatments, the Ultimate Aromatherapy Experience Massage (90 min./$190-$210), incorporates a proprietary massage oil blend that the therapist chooses after determining the client's needs. This 'aroma journey' features a series of essential oil inhalations throughout the service to gradually draw both the mind and body from a state of relaxation to awakening. Our Intense Nourishment Body Wrap (90 min./$210-$230) uses geranium, ylang ylang and vanilla essential oils to replenish lost moisture, improve skin's texture and uplift the client's mood. Additionally, our Aroma Radiance Facial (90 min./$280-$300) uses a signifi cant amount of rose and frankincense essential oils to regenerate the skin. Katie Haley, owner, CosmicFlower Aromatherapy Inc. and Yoga Fusion Studio in Delray Beach, Florida: I customize all of my oils for each massage service, and educate my clients on what they can use in their daily lives to stay calm and healthy. For example, my Ashiatsu Deep Massage (90 min./$145) features a blend of lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oils, which helps relieve pain, reduce infl ammation and detox the body. Less is more when it comes to fi nding the right blend: Don't overdo it and always let the client smell the oil fi rst, using a cotton ball or scent stick. There should be no skin sensitivity issues if the oil is high quality, meaning it's not diluted with any synthetic © GETTY IMAGES AROMATHERAPY PRODUCTS Bon Vital' Relaxation Synergy bonvital.com DermaSwiss Eucalyptus dermaswiss.com Epicuren Discovery Amour Universél epicuren.com Biotone Energy biotone.com Aromatherapy Associates Relax Deep Bath & Shower Oil aromatherapyassociates.com BCL Spa Lavender bclspa.com Aromatherapy Spa pros shed light on the profi t-boosting benefi ts of using essential oils.
