Boost your mood and soothe stress the spa way
April is Stress Awareness Month, but it is also a time of year when the air is filled with the delicious scents of spring. The smell of freshly cut grass, flowers coming into bloom, or sunshine on a cold morning, are all potent reminders of how scent can impact how we feel in an instant.
We know stress affects everyone differently, but aromatherapy is an excellent way to help manage those feelings—you just need to know how to make the most of it.
Dab a little on your wrist in the middle of the work day to give you an energising boost, unwind at home with a few drops of essential oils added to your bath, enjoy an aromatherapy massage on your next spa break, or give the gift of feel-good factor with skincare products infused with soothing scents in our spa gift boxes.
So, we're dedicating this month of stress awareness to the restorative powers of aromatherapy, with treatment reccomendations, understanding essential oils, wellness tips, spa experiences, and breaks to destress.
Our Spa Inspiration
Spa days with massages
Of course, aromatherapy massages at a spa of your choice are the ultimate in head-to-toe relaxation. These massages work on both mind and body, relaxing the muscles, easing tension and helping you to destress. Essential oils are absorbed through your skin, working at a physical level, while the aromatic effects balance the mind and emotions through the sense of smell.

Two and three night spa breaks
Reports show that lots of us struggle with sleeplessness and a good night's sleep is one of our most powerful tools for managing stress and taking care of our wellbeing. So when you can't get the necessary rest at home, it's time to prioritise some shut-eye on a two or three-night spa break. Escape the stress of everyday, unwind and relax for a little longer.
