Spa Treatments

Elysium’s spa treatmens are designed to incorporate the skill of massage with the application of natural healing substances such as pure, high quality essential oils, parafango, Black Baltic mud, shea butter, seaweed, mineral rich sea salts, and hot stones. Aromatherapy and essential oils are used throughout her spa treatments.
Essential Oils are oils that have been extracted through steam distillation from a number of aromatic plants. Essential oils are used to affect a person’s limbic system, which focuses on a part of the brain used in our fight or flight reflex. A favorite book of Virginia’s is Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit by Gabriel Mojay, where the use of essential oils is described beautifully. Mojay says “Althought they are the tools of a gentle therapy, essential oils have the power to reach deep into the psyche and to both relax the mind and uplift the Spirit.” Together, the client and the practitioner can form a combination of essential oils in a carrier oil for an aromatic massage experience.
