What is aromatherapy massage?
Aromatherapy massage pairs a gentle Swedish-style treatment with essential oils chosen for their effect: lavender and chamomile to calm, rosemary and peppermint to lift energy, eucalyptus to clear the head, ginger or black pepper to warm tired muscles. The oils are diluted in a carrier oil and absorbed through the skin, with the scent working on mood at the same time.
A good aromatherapist will start with a short consultation about how you have been sleeping, your stress levels and any physical complaints, and blend the oils for that session rather than using a standard mix. The massage itself is light to medium in pressure and unhurried.
It is a first choice for stress, poor sleep, low mood and tension headaches, and popular during recovery from illness. Sessions are usually 60 or 90 minutes. Certain oils are avoided in pregnancy and with some medical conditions, which is why the consultation matters.

Where to find it in Birmingham
The NEC, the ICC and the airport hotels keep a steady demand for mobile treatments, and Solihull has become a sub-market of its own, with therapists who quote hotel visits as their default and whose availability tracks the exhibition schedule. The Jewellery Quarter has the longest-established independents, several in converted workshop units fitted out as proper treatment rooms, and it is the best area for remedial and sports work. Edgbaston is residential and quieter, favoured for longer afternoon treatments and for pregnancy massage, and Moseley has a strong holistic and aromatherapy presence.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the essential oils?
You can state preferences, and the therapist will suggest a blend based on what you want from the session. If you have a scent you dislike or an allergy, say so during the consultation.
Is aromatherapy massage safe in pregnancy?
Only with a therapist trained in pregnancy massage and using oils considered safe after the first trimester. Many are avoided entirely. Look for a pregnancy massage listing rather than a general aromatherapy one.
How much does aromatherapy massage cost?
Between £45 and £80 an hour depending on city, with the consultation included. Blends made to take home are extra.
