Aromatherapy Massage in Melbourne, FL: How Scent Supports Stress Relief
If you’ve ever taken a deep breath and immediately felt your shoulders drop—that’s the power of scent. Aromatherapy massage works with your nervous system through smell, helping you calm down, breathe deeper, and let go.
At The Deep Tissue Spa, we include complimentary aromatherapy in every session. Why? Because it works. And because the body responds faster and more fully when your breath is supported too.
What is aromatherapy massage? It’s a form of massage therapy that incorporates essential oils to influence the nervous system through smell and absorption. You inhale the scent and may also absorb trace amounts through the skin. The result? A layered experience that relaxes not just your muscles—but your whole system.
What aromatherapy can help with:
Calming anxiety or mental chatter
Easing physical tension by helping the nervous system downshift
Supporting deeper breathing and oxygen flow
Encouraging rest, regulation, and repair
How we use aromatherapy at our spa:
You choose your oil (or we guide you) based on how you want to feel
We incorporate it into the room, your breath, and the massage oil
