June 19, 2025•2 min read

Hey there, wellness warriors! Today, we're diving into a topic that's sure to tickle your senses - aromatherapy and massage. It's like peanut butter and jelly, only way more relaxing!

Now, you might be thinking, "Lewin, isn't massage already awesome on its own?" You bet it is! But add some aromatherapy to the mix, and bam! You've got yourself a next-level experience that'll leave you feeling like you're floating on a cloud.

So, what's the big deal about combining aromatherapy with massage? Let's break it down:

Double Relaxation Power: Massage relaxes your body, and aromatherapy calms your mind. Together? It's like a chill pill for your whole being!
Mood Booster: Certain scents can lift your spirits faster than you can say "essential oils."
Pain Relief Plus: Some essential oils have anti-inflammatory properties. Pair that with massage, and those aches don't stand a chance.
Better Sleep: The combo of touch and smell can help you catch those Zs like a pro.
Customized Experience: Different oils for different goals. It's like having a personalized wellness cocktail!

But don't just take my word for it. Check out what some of my clients have to say:

Sarah, a chronic insomniac: "I've tried everything for my sleep issues. But Lewin's lavender-infused massages? Game changer! I sleep like a baby now."

Tom, a stressed-out exec: "The peppermint oil Lewin uses in his massages clears my head better than any meditation app I've tried. It's my secret weapon for busy weeks!"

Now, you might be wondering, "What oils should I try?" Great question! Here are a few fan favorites:

Lavender: The classic relaxation superstar
Peppermint: Great for energy and mental clarity
Eucalyptus: Perfect for clearing those sinuses
Ylang-Ylang: A mood-lifter that smells divine
Frankincense: The ancient secret for deep relaxation

Remember, everyone's nose is different. What smells like heaven to one person might not float another's boat. That's why I always chat with my clients about their scent preferences before we start.
