The Aroma-Flow Touch Technique is a specialized essential oil intensive service that provides the benefit of carefully planned essential oils gently spread along the spine and then methodically rubbed into the back and feet in a manner to cause deep relaxation and relief that will have you melting into the table beneath you.
This technique uses doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils. This service is not a massage and does not include any muscle tissue manipulation. We apply specific oils with a specific purpose in a way to help you not only enjoy all the benefits of the essential oils themselves but also a soothing experience that leaves you refreshed, relaxed, and energized all at the same time!
“The Aroma-Flow Touch Technique is to maximize the benefits of essential oils. Its powerful benefits can be effectively delivered equally well by both the novice essential oil enthusiast and the professional health practitioner.” – Dr. David K. Hill

Physical touch is as important to the Aroma-Flow Touch Technique as the aroma itself because of its ability to soothe the body and bring people together. While the main purpose of the technique is to apply the oils and provide the recipient with an essential oil experience, the Aroma-Flow Touch Technique is also about connecting with another person on an emotional level. The connections developed through the Aroma-Flow Touch Technique form feelings of trust and help the recipient relax.
• Touch is the first sense that we develop when we are born.
• The right kind of touch can lower blood pressure, cortisol levels, and heart rate.
• The Aroma-Flow Touch Technique uses light, consistent touch that creates a beneficial response in the recipient.
Research has exhibited that touch can communicate multiple emotions—love, gratitude, sympathy, fear, anger— with astounding exactness. This effect isn’t just limited to loved ones; another study found that touch communicates emotion nearly as effectively when it occurs between strangers. While our understanding of the mechanisms involved with touch and emotional messaging is still limited, we do know that it can be more effective than even verbal communication in strengthening existing bonds and developing new ones.
Unlike massage, which involves powerful hand movements that are focused on specific outcomes (breakdown of muscular adhesions, stimulating the central nervous system, aiding recovery, etc.), the gentleness of an Aroma-Flow Touch Technique has a much different spectrum of benefits. Tender touch almost instantaneously activates the release of oxytocin (often referred to as the “love” or “hug” hormone), decreases heart rate and blood pressure, and has a beneficial influence on multiple other stress-sensitive systems. Furthermore, the person initiating the contact generally experiences the same response as the person on the receiving end.
