Marie's Aromatherapy Magic

Resident Aromatherapist Marie Wilkinson, has provided a list of warming & soothing essential oils which you can use individually, or together in a blend as described here. We sell all of the mentioned essential oils, as well as some already prepared blends - such as the Well-Being Blend and the Cold & Flu Blend, both of which fall into the Comfort Zone of blends!

Here at MTSO we want to help each of you find what you need to continue providing much of that energy and warmth and light that those who come to you for healing may be looking for. I can tell you that one of my favourite things in the winter is the feeling of the heat coming through from the table warmer on my massage therapists table. It is such a delight. And just as my muscles appreciate that certain quality of pain that signifies healing, my skin and my inner self bask in the rising glow of warmth of my chilled bones.

I have yet to experience a full on hot-stone massage - and I can't imagine why! I have often enjoyed the warmth of sun-baked rocks against my skin. I would imagine my skin would recall a time from my youth if I were to experience this therapy... a time when I sun-bathed on rocks in Greece...

I'm also partial to weighted items, like our Thermasand which provides the localized heat. Again, there is some kind of comfort and caring that comes from feeling the pressure of the weight of this item.
