AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES

Aromatherapy Associates was established in 1985 to develop specialised aromatherapy treatments and products at a professional and therapeutic standard for spas and salons worldwide. The company was founded by Sue Beechey and Geraldine Howard and both were trained by Micheline Arcier and schooled in the aromatherapy massage techniques pioneered by Marguerite Maury, whose work was the foundation for the modern development of aromatherapy. The secret of Aromatherapy Associates’ success lies in the quality and concentration of the essential oils and natural ingredients that they source, the specialised hand blending techniques that they use, and the unique aromatic effects of each product they produce.

 

TREATMENT SESSIONS

Treatments begin with a 30 minute session in the AromaCology Suite. The suite consists of AromaSpace – a lounge where you can experience the power of scent and enjoy some herbal teas. There are three thermal aromatherapy experiences to try before your treatment: AromaSteam – infused with essential oils to enhance the physiological effect of steam, AromaSauna – with herbal blends to tone, detoxify and rejuvenate and AromaStream – an outdoor thermal relaxation tub.

Facials can help promote a smoother, healthier looking complexion and at the same time are wonderfully relaxing. Shaving at least a couple of hours before your facial appointment is recommended as the treatment will tend to be more effective. We use professional skincare products, which may have a more instant result compared to products you may use at home, so after your treatment, it’s good to leave the products on your face as long as possible so your skin can continue to absorb them.

The treatment begins with an Ayurvedic scalp massage and frankincense inhalation.

 

The face is then cleansed with a wash containing antiseptic lavender and tea tree oils and natural seaweed extracts to condition and soften the skin.

 

A natural clay-based facial scrub, containing jojoba beads – to dissolve hardened sebum and corn cob granules – highly effective, plant derived, natural exfoliating particles is applied to exfoliate the skin.

 

The skin is toned with soothing skin tonic containing lavender and tea tree hydrolats, orange flower water and witch hazel.

 

After toning a facial massage is performed using lavender and ylang ylang facial oil.

 

A deep cleansing face mask is applied to the face and neck and a foot massage is performed to stimulate spine and shoulder reflexes.

 

The skin is toned following the removal of the face mask and then soothed, hydrated and regulated with a skin conditioning gel containing petitgrain, orange flower water and aloe vera.
