Aromatherapy Massage & Wellness Treatment

This is a deeply relaxing treatment that combines the healing properties of essential oils with the calming effect of touch.

It is used, among other things, as a complementary health treatment to:

  • Treat muscle tension.

  • Increase oxytocin flow and circulation in the body.

  • Strengthen the immune system.

  • Reduce pain, stress, anxiety, depression, inflammation and insomnia.

  • Balance hormones.

  • Relieve symptoms in people being treated for cancer.

Essential oils are plant-based oils extracted from herbs, trees and flowers. Each oil has its own unique property that works therapeutically on body and mind.

My 90 minutes Aromatherapy Treatment includes:

  • Foot bath with Braïdo Organics' Soul Soak – a lovely bath salt made from magnesium salt, essential oils and softening herbs.

  • Guided meditation to help you ground yourself in your body and release stress.

  • Gentle stretching exercise to loosen up and prepare the body.

  • 60-minute full body massage with Braïdo Organics' organic, non-toxic and nourishing aromatherapy body oil Gaea’s Garden, Black Moon Lilith or Into the Deep, depending on your needs.

  • Head and foot massage for total relaxation.

  • Special pillow for pregnant women, so you can lie comfortably on both your back and stomach.

    Time & Place:

    Thursdays at Galonvägen 2, Bromma. T-bana: Abrahamsberg

    Other days of the week I can come to your home if you'd like, so you don't have to travel anywhere after the massage and can rest afterward. I charge 300 SEK. extra for this (parking, gas and time to travel).

Price: 1200 SEK. (You can use your wellness allowance for the massage.)

About the oils that I use

I use Braïdo Organics' lovely massage oils made from the purest essential oils and the most nourishing, organic base oils. Unlike many other oils on the market, Braïdo Organics’ body oils don't burden the skin and body with synthetic substances and hormone-disrupting chemicals, which can cause problems for you –– both in the short and long term. Braïdo Organics body and massage oils penetrates the skin and moisturises deeply, without negatively affecting the body or feeling sticky. The oils can also be advantageously for those with sensitive skin.

Massage course for expecting parents

Relaxing touch releases oxytocin – the bonding and well-being hormone – benefiting you, your partner, and your unborn baby. In this 90-minute session, I'll teach you wonderful and effective massage and touch techniques for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

How does it work?

  • I come to your home at your chosen date and time.

  • We begin by preparing a warm foot bath with magnesium salt, soothing herbs, and pregnancy-safe essential oils.

  • While you relax with the foot bath, I'll guide your partner through gentle touch techniques to use during labor.

  • Next, I'll demonstrate massage techniques in side-lying position that can help manage stress, anxiety, and discomfort throughout your pregnancy journey.

  • "The massage I received from Maria was truly an incredible gift to myself. Her soft and empathetic hands touched my body in a way that made me completely relax, release all tension and fully ground myself in my body and the gentle sensations. Her divinely scented oil made the entire experience even more wonderful and made it easier to let go of my mind and be completely present in my body."

  • "Thank you so much for yesterday. It was truly a gift to feel so cared for and to get help relaxing now at the end of my pregnancy, during these long days of waiting, questions and sometimes a bit of worry. It felt so luxurious! I thought it was really lovely to get a combination of stretching, breathing, foot bath, massage... it made it easier to really get into my body and be ready to receive the massage. I also thought it was especially nice to chat a bit about me and the pregnancy before the massage. I also thought the massage itself was excellent, just the right amount of pressure. As a dancer who is used to working hard with my body, I often find that massages I've received have been far too soft or 'gentle'. I appreciated that you applied proper pressure."

  • "I really appreciated Maria's treatment. It was incredibly valuable that she came to my home – as a pregnant woman, not having to go out and instead being able to stay where I feel safest meant a lot for my relaxation. I really liked that there was a holistic approach: an opening foot bath with calming herbs, a brief conversation about how I was feeling, and a relaxation exercise before the massage felt wonderful as I was able to wind down first. It became more of a personal encounter and I felt I received more than just a massage."
