The Power of Aromatherapy Naps: Recharge After Your Massage

Why Add an Aromatherapy Nap to Your Massage?

Think of it as the finishing touch. Your massage relaxes your muscles and releases tension, and the nap gives your body and mind the chance to integrate those benefits. With aromatherapy woven in, you’ll leave not only more relaxed, but also recharged, balanced, and ready to take on the rest of your day.

Popular Essential Oils We Use

Lavender – Melt away stress and drift into a calmer state of mind. Lavender helps you feel peaceful, balanced, and ready for deep rest.

Eucalyptus – Breathe easier and feel refreshed. Its crisp scent clears the head, awakens the senses, and leaves you energized.

Peppermint – A cool, uplifting boost for body and mind. Peppermint sharpens focus, eases tension, and gives you a refreshing lift.

What Is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the practice of using natural plant extracts—known as essential oils—to support overall well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated compounds distilled from flowers, leaves, bark, or roots. For centuries, they’ve been used to promote relaxation, boost energy, ease stress, and even support better sleep.

When you breathe in an essential oil, the aroma connects directly with the part of your brain that influences feelings, memories, and mood. That’s why just the right scent can instantly bring a sense of calm or give you a refreshing lift.

We Are Open!

Shine On is beyond excited to announce that we are OPEN! After almost three months of being forced to shut down, we started to really miss our clients and the rewarding feeling of easing their pain. We are at half capacity so schedule space is much more limited than before.

We are continuing to spend 20 minutes sanitizing and wiping down every surface after each service. We ask anyone experiencing any flu-like symptoms to please not book at this time (Even if it is just allergies).

We are now taking credit card information upon booking. This new feature does not charge you and you will not have to pay until after your service is complete. The reason for this is to limit the spread of germs and to protect our staff if a client is to cancel outside the 24 hour window or no-call-no-show. If you decide to cancel and do not do so within 24 hours of booking your appointment, you will be charged for 50% of whichever service you chose. Wow! That sounded harsh! At Shine On, we understand that cancellation policies can sound a little harsh but we plan our day around these appointments and in these difficult times, our schedule space is extremely valuable to us.

We hope everyone is being safe and we can not wait to see all of our wonderful clients again! Shine On through this, you crazy diamonds!

Massage - The Hangover Cure!

Here’s why massage is the hangover remedy you’ve always wanted.

It’s completely natural. No need to take drugs like aspirin, which can thin the blood and tax your already overloaded liver.

Massage boosts your immune system. During a hangover, your body is full of toxins, and your liver, the organ responsible for breaking them down, just can’t keep up. Massage will help your lymphatic system clear your blood of all the poisons you put into it during the Holidays.

Hangovers mean headaches. A massage is a great way to increase circulation, which also pushes blood to the brain, easing pesky headaches caused by your hangover.

The only real cure for a hangover is time and rest. A massage helps your body relax and heal itself.

Remembering to hydrate before, during and after a night of drinking is always helpful.

So have fun but be careful & remember to book a massage with Shine On!
