Preparation

Every AroMass therapy session begins with a health consultation during which we learn about you and your specific individual needs in order to better serve you. With the help of a general health questionnaire, your therapist will be well-positioned to conceive an optimal therapy or treatment plan catered specially to you. He will also better discern which areas of your body to focus on as well as those to avoid during the massage. During the consultation, you will also be provided with an idea of what to expect during your massage so that you may concentrate on fully relaxing and simply enjoying your AroMass experience. 

With these in mind, do expect to spend an additional 15 minutes beyond the time reserved for your chosen massage therapy. Please also have a good shower prior to arriving as it is recommended not to take one for 4-6 hours after your massage in order for the body to fully absorb the benefits of the essential oils.

Contraindications

Please be advised that certain contraindications may require written medical releases from your physician without which we will be unable to proceed with a therapy session. In addition, clients who have recently undergone surgeries are strongly advised not to seek massage therapies for a minimum of 6 months (minor surgery) up to 24 months (major surgery). It is also generally considered unsafe for women in their first trimester of pregnancy to receive massages due to the heightened risks of miscarriage thus we are unable to accept clients until the second trimester of pregnancy.

Your Comfort

Clients often feel self-conscious especially if they are new to massages or are meeting a new massage therapist. Our therapists are professional and non-judgemental, only seeing the human body in its entirety as an artist sees a canvas. Our goal is to promote relaxation and offer pain relief. We respect your privacy and will never ask you to expose your body beyond your comfort level. If you feel uneasy at any time, be sure to inform your therapist immediately.

To ensure your utmost comfort and optimal skin health, massages are performed on a heated massage table and we use only 100% pure, plant-derived essential oils. Unlike the vast majority of massage therapists who use sweet almond oil, we only use fresh, premium golden jojoba oil imported from Israel for our massages, at no extra cost to clients. Jojoba oil is odourless and well known for having a chemical composition that closely resembles the sebum of human skin, so it is easily absorbed and does not leave an oily, sticky feeling.

Freshly laundered towels and new, disposable headrest-covers are used for each client and all surfaces are cleaned and disinfected after each session. 

Shower and towels are available.
