Treatment Options

All treatments are fully personalised – from the oils that I will select to the treatment you receive. This means that you can choose what you would like me to focus on during your massage, and how long you would like it to take. Your massage can be deeply relaxing, energising, or really focus on those knots and aching muscles. Your first appointment will include an additional 15 minute complementary consultation.

Bespoke Massage Treatment £40 – £65

I can focus on any combination of the following: scalp, face, neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, hands, legs and feet – you choose what you feel will benefit you most.

Book the time that you would like and we can discuss your requirements further on the day.

  • 45 minutes – £40
  • 60 minutes – £50
  • 75 minutes – £60
  • 90 minutes – £65

– NB Minimum time for full body is 60 minutes –

Deep Tissue £40 – £65
Deep tissue massage uses much slower strokes, which are targeted on problem areas.
It works to release tightness and discomfort held in muscles and connective tissue (which present as ‘knots’).

It is a great way to help relieve muscle tension and increase previously restricted movement.

I can also include essential oils to increase blood flow, and further support aches and pains.

Deep tissue techniques can be integrated into your massage experience, or you can specifically request treatment on this basis.

Holistic Facial Massage £50
This deeply relaxing treatment combines elements of lymphatic drainage, pressure point and Indian head techniques. It includes a face and scalp massage, leaving you relaxed and your skin glowing! Your skin will love the gentle organic Neal’s Yard products, which will cleanse, brighten and rehydrate.

Treatment comprises a double cleanse and exfoliate, followed by massage of the face, neck, upper chest and shoulder area and a delicious scalp massage.

You may choose to have a mask applied and a luxurious hand massage while this works its magic!

Your face will be refreshed with a toner, before finishing with a moisturiser and eye cream.
60 minutes
Indulge & Relax £60

This ultra relaxing treatment comprises a 45 minute back, neck and shoulder massage with aromatherapy oils curated just for you, followed by a 30 minute face & scalp treatment that includes:

  • Stimulating facial massage to renew and invigorate skin

Pregnancy Massage £50 per hour
I am delighted to be able to offer massage to pregnant women who are past their first trimester and are ‘low risk’.

These include (but aren’t limited to!):
  • Reducing back and joint pain
  • Increasing relaxation and wellbeing
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Improved circulation and blood flow
  • Raising endorphin, oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine levels – hormone stabilising
  • Relaxes the nervous system

Take some time out for you and your baby and enjoy an hour focusing on supporting your body and mind.

As a qualified aromatherapist, I will be able to offer a choice of safe essential oils, which will enhance the experience, bringing a greater sense of wellbeing, ease and relaxation.

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils (derived from plants) in holistic treatments to support and enhance physical and emotional wellness.

Benefits

Aromatherapy is great for:

  • Improving wellbeing, for example: soothing anxiety, combating fatigue, aiding sleep and creating a general sense of wellbeing.
  • Aiding physical issues, for example: calming eczema, aches and pains, headaches and migraines, digestive issues and support for the immune system.
  • Hormonal issues: PMT, perimenopause and menopausal symptoms

Of course, this list is not exhaustive. If you have a particular issue that you’re wondering if aromatherapy may help, please get in touch for a chat. The answer is probably yes!

Supporting wellbeing and balance

Through my practice I work in a holistic way offering bespoke products and massage based treatments which will increase and support your physical and mental wellbeing. I’m passionate about the use of aromatherapy to bring balance to your life. From calming stress and anxiety, aiding sleep, and balancing hormones, the range of benefits from essential oils is incredible and infinite!

After an initial consultation, oils will be blended for you, depending on how you are feeling and what you need on the day. The oils are then gently massaged into your body, allowing them to provide both physiological and psychological benefits. The combination of massage and essential oils help to restore your body’s ability to balance and heal.

Aromatherapy is not intended as a substitute for medical care, but is a complimentary therapy which can work alongside traditional health care to support wellness.

What to Expect

Your session at Ascent Aromatherapy will start with an informal conversation about your health, wellbeing and lifestyle as well as any specific issues that you want to address. This is to help me understand your needs and what oils will be most beneficial. A personal blend will then be created for your treatment.

Your massage will be in my warm, comfortable treatment room and soft music can be played to help you relax. Your modesty will always be protected and the only part of your body exposed will be the part being massaged. You can let me know if you want to chat, or if you want to lie quietly and enjoy the feeling of peace.

Aromatherapy is a wonderfully relaxing and supportive treatment, all you need to do is switch off and enjoy!

About Julia & Ascent Aromatherapy

Hello, I’m Julia and I’m a qualified aromatherapist. I run my practice, Ascent Aromatherapy, from a purpose built treatment room at my home and I’m passionate about the benefits aromatherapy can bring.

I’ve been interested in aromatherapy since my first aromatherapy massage 30 years ago. I still remember the blend that was used and how balanced I felt afterwards. I’ve used aromatherapy myself and with my family since then. I’m a strong believer that your body knows the way to balance and healing.

Now that my children are getting older, I’ve turned my enthusiasm into my career. I am an Independent Consultant for Neal’s Yard Remedies and use their beautiful products personally and in my treatments. Their sustainable, ethical products complement my own values, and those of my practice.

Away from my aromatherapy work, I have background in supporting people, from babies to adults with a range of often complex additional needs. This has developed my skills in helping people find the right path for them, very much like aromatherapy.
