ExclusiveVerified listingWhat 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 Bristol
Ninety minutes is the standard booking rather than the upgrade, a noticeable share of therapists hold yoga, reiki or counselling qualifications alongside massage, and the consultation at the start of a first session tends to be longer. Clifton has the best-regarded and most expensive end, often in dedicated treatment rooms above the shops on Whiteladies Road, and it is the place to find shiatsu, lomi lomi and pregnancy specialists. Redland is its quieter residential neighbour; Harbourside covers the hotels and the mobile trade.
