Aromatherapy Massage in Melbourne

Imagine melting away tension under the gentle touch of an experienced hand while the subtle, soothing scents of essential oils fill the room. That’s the bliss of an aromatherapy massage at Growing Bones, where every session is a step towards serenity and well-being.

I’m Sonya Edmonds, a clinical aromatherapist, nurse, midwife, and, most importantly, a mother. My journey through healthcare, alongside my own experience of motherhood, has led me to a respect for the natural world and the healing it can offer.

That’s why I am passionate about aromatherapy. It’s a practice that harnesses nature’s potency to soothe, heal, and uplift.

At Growing Bones, our philosophy is simple: we believe in nurturing the body and spirit at every stage of life, using hands-on, heartfelt care.

As a part of our holistic team of Osteopath practitioners and integrated health services, I am here to bring you the best in natural, compassionate, and effective health care through aromatherapy massage.

Aromatherapy massages can be a gift for both the body and the mind. They are about more than relaxation; these massages are a powerful tool for overall wellness. Here are some of the most significant benefits backed by research:

Importance of Self-Care During and After Pregnancy

As a clinical aromatherapist and mother myself, I know firsthand how essential self-care is during pregnancy. One study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine demonstrated that aromatherapy massage significantly reduces stress in pregnant women, and enhances their immune function.

Psychological and Physical Benefits

Our mental health deeply affects our physical well-being and vice versa. Aromatherapy massage may help to align both.

For the elderly, who may often experience a higher rate of depression and anxiety, a randomised controlled trial found significant reductions in depression and anxiety levels after receiving aromatherapy massages.

Another study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine further supports the psychological benefits, showing how aromatherapy massage can produce significant improvements in mood and a strengthened immune system.

Baby Massage for Enhanced Bonding and Health

Baby massage classes are more than a nice way to bond with your newborn. Research from the journal Advances in Neonatal Care highlighted that infant massage in the NICU can lead to weight gain in preterm infants, lower the mothers’ anxiety and stress levels, and improve the overall bonding experience between parents and their baby.

Aromatherapy Massage for Everyone

We truly believe everyone can benefit from a full body aromatherapy massage.

Whether you are navigating the stresses of the workplace, dealing with emotional upheaval, or simply in need of a moment of relaxation, an aromatherapy massage can be a rejuvenating oasis. It allows you to disconnect from the world momentarily and replenish your spirit.

In today’s fast-paced world, taking time for ourselves is often last on the list. But here at Growing Bones, we know that ‘me time’ is essential.

Our aromatherapy massages offer a sacred space where you are encouraged to relax deeply, breathe more fully, and align your mind and body in harmony.
