In my search for the perfect way to completely relax, I discovered the power of aromatherapy massage. It was a discovery for me: a massage where pure, essential oils and attentive touch are central. This massage form is radically different from the classic, sports or Thai massage.
What makes aromatherapy massage so special? Discover it here.
The Work of Madame Micheline Arcier
The aromatherapy massage offered by Restored is inspired by the pioneer in this field: Madame Micheline Arcier. Early in her career, she saw the power of aromatherapy for holistic well-being. She developed massage techniques that not only rejuvenated the skin, but also treated the body and mind as a complete system. Her clients experienced not only improved skin, but also better sleep, less pain and an overall sense of well-being.
This massage goes beyond just physical relaxation. It is a holistic experience that restores both your body and mind. Essential oils: the power of nature
The basis of aromatherapy massage is the use of carefully selected essential oils. These oils, which are specially chosen based on your physical and emotional needs, have a deep effect. They reach the emotional centers in your brain and are absorbed through your skin, so that the effects continue for days.
Essential oils contain the pure essence of plants – from flowers and fruits to roots and herbs. Each oil has its own unique scent and therapeutic power. And the best part is: they work not only on your body, but also on your state of mind.
The autonomic nervous system in balance
What makes this massage truly special is the deep relaxation it induces in the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates essential functions such as your heart rate, breathing and digestion. In our busy lives, this nervous system often becomes overstimulated. But through the slow, refined touches that characterize this massage, your entire system comes to rest. Tension in your muscles decreases, headaches disappear and you feel reborn. Calming Touch: learning to understand the body With aromatherapy massage, the emphasis is on the experience your body goes through. It is like a here-and-now session. Instead of just loosening muscle knots, you learn to listen to your body again. The subtle touches bring you closer to yourself, create awareness of the signals your body gives off and help you to be in the moment. The result? Deep relaxation, both physically and mentally.

In a world that is turning faster and faster, aromatherapy massage offers a welcome break. It allows you to be still, reconnect with yourself and feel what you really need. It is more than a massage, it is an experience of inner peace.
Your journey to relaxation This unique massage is like a journey – soothing, gentle and with a deep (after)effect. After the session you will receive a tester bottle of the oil blend to take home, so that you can continue to enjoy the peace and healing you have received at home.
If you also long for this deep relaxation and attention, you're very welcome. Give yourself the time to truly relax and pamper your body with the healing power of aromatherapy.
