The Benefits of Fragrance
Out of all the five senses, smell has the most direct connection to the emotional centre of the brain and there is increasing evidence to prove the physiological and psychological benefits of fragrance. Essential oils can be used to treat a range of ailments. Some benefit from massage with aromatic oils, while others respond best to the oils alone as applied in hot or cold compresses, inhilation and facial steam.

Californian Massage
The Californian massage owes it name to its roots. It was born in the 1960's against a backdrop of psychotherapy at a centre in Esalen, Big Sur, California. It finds its inspiration in the diverse techniques of the Orient as well as Reich's work on energy flows. The aim is to achieve complete relaxation of the body and, consequently, induce psychological relaxation. It can be seen as type of "inititiation massage" because rather than deliver deep pressure to the body, it involves long, gliding motions.
