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 Leeds
Most work from their own treatment rooms rather than from studios, so incall is the norm and mobile appointments are offered by a minority, mostly to the hotels around the station and Wellington Place. The city centre covers the financial district and the gym trade, with sports and deep tissue the most requested treatments. Headingley and Chapel Allerton are residential, quieter and daytime-oriented, with a high proportion of therapists holding reflexology and holistic qualifications alongside massage.

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.

Between £45 and £80 an hour depending on city, with the consultation included. Blends made to take home are extra.
