Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy sessions are an individualized approach to supporting imbalances affecting many people today. Conditions such as migraines, PMS, stress and anxiety, muscle tension and pain, depression, insomnia, and fatigue may be alleviated through the use of aromatherapy.
After a personal consultation, Amanda assesses which essential oils to use to address the underlying health imbalances often associated with these conditions. The essential oils are then applied using the principles of reflexology, the Chinese Meridian System, and the Chakras. Essential oils work on many levels to help balance and soothe the body. Often the clients feel very relaxed and may even fall asleep during a session. This is completely natural and what your body needs.
After your session, Amanda will discuss lifestyle modifications and follow up home care to enhance the effects of the session. Terracina uses only the finest organic, therapeutic, and vintage grade essential oils in our practice, and Amanda is committed to finding the right treatment for each individual client.
