What are essential oils? Essential oils are the essence of a plant, a gift from the earth, distilled and prepared for you to bring the power of nature into your home.
Inside many plants—hidden in roots, seeds, flowers, bark—are concentrated, highly potent chemical compounds. These natural compounds are essential oils.
Essential oils give a plant its scent, protect it from hazardous environmental conditions, and even assist it with pollination, among other important functions and benefits.
Why do we use essential oils in our studio? Harnessing the powerful benefits of plant based medicine we are able to enhance your massage experience by calling upon the plants natural ability to assist in increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, fighting harmful pathogens and reducing stress through it's powerful natural chemistry.

Pain has many causes; inflammation, misalignment, trigger points or imbalances in the muscles, dehydration and nutritional deficiencies can all play a part as well as emotional pain.

Digestive health plays a huge role in our overall health as we must digest our food before we can gain any nutritional benefit from it. Below are my favorite oils to use topically on the belly or feet or take under the tongue or in a shot of water to calm and soothe an upset stomach. Additionally some of my favorite supplements to assist in digestive function.
Peppermint: Great at calming an upset stomach and a natural anti-spasmotic. Inhale for a quick way to overcome nasuea
Spearmint: a softer mint with similar benefits to peppermint, this oil is soothing, calming and delicious added to water or lemonade
Ginger: My favorite for a sour stomach, I love to add to sparking water or drop a drop directly under my tongue. Ginger chews and candies are great too as long as you watch that sugar.
Fennel: a fabulous choice for gassiness and indigestion.
Digest Zen: this blend contains all of the above and more and is a great overall oil to have on hand to handle those moments of discomfort, as it's a blend it can handle a myriad of digestive discomforts with ease
