Scented session
Swedish massage with a little essential oil in the massage oil. You smell the choices first, and you can say no to all of them. The scent is there for the smell and nothing more.
We keep three or four scents on the shelf, such as lavender, cedar and bergamot. We can tell you every ingredient in the oil.
60 minutes
Unscented unless you choose a scent
Tell us about a fragrance allergy when you book
Your therapist opens each bottle for you to smell, or you skip them all.
Your therapist mixes the oil while you get under the sheet.
The same long, slow strokes as any Swedish session, with pressure you set.
A minute to lie still, then water and a chair if you like.
We ask before we start and check again partway through. Lighter or firmer is always your call.
A sheet covers you throughout. Only the part being worked on is uncovered, and it is covered again when we move on.
If you are pregnant, or have had recent surgery or an injury, ask your doctor or midwife before you book.
Come in what is easy to take off. Undress to your comfort; there is a hook by the door and a place for boots.

Yes. Every Swedish session uses unscented oil unless you ask for a scent.
Tell your therapist right away and we change the oil. If you have a known fragrance allergy, tell us when you book.
It is there for the smell. We make no claim for what essential oils do for your body.
