Perinatal Clinical Aromatherapy
Clinical Aromatherapy is a method of applying plant derived aromatic oils (essential oils) to an individual for therapeutic purposes, and is supported by extensive evidence based research and botanical chemistry. Aromatherapy is a branch of traditional herbal medicine, which utilizes a more potent concentration of molecular compounds. These compounds can have profound effect on our physiological / neurological systems, and are a natural and effective complementary support to the childbearing continuum. Clinical Aromatherapy can be helpful for common perinatal symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fear, stress, nausea, pain, insomnia, lactation challenges, and more.
Aromatherapy treatments include a custom selection of therapeutic essential oils, based on an individual’s constitution and presenting symptoms. This custom formulation is then infused in a warm herbal body oil and is applied specifically to support the body. This is deeply relaxing and nourishing treatment. Includes a brief consultation.
*Aromatherapy treatments are available to individuals that have entered the second trimester of pregnancy (13 weeks - 40+ weeks). If you are experiencing difficult symptoms in the first trimester please email me at hello@adrianeelliott.com
**Aromatherapy treatments must be booked in conjunction with Massage Therapy. Treatments are not eligible to be claimed by health insurance and will be billed separately.
***All essential oils used have been carefully selected for therapeutic intent, are 100% organic, contain no synthetic compounds and have been third party tested for purity. Body oils are made in house using all organic ingredients, locally grown herbs when available, and contain no polyunsaturated fatty oils.
Lymphatic Drainage
Carlie primarily uses lymphatic drainage to treat pre and post-surgical/operative scar tissue and swelling, postpartum swelling and breastfeeding challenges, whiplash, concussions, and other acute injuries, joint conditions, chronic inflammatory conditions, for digestive support, and more. **If you have a chronic health condition that involves swelling (such as lymphedema or lipidema), please contact Carlie 250-551-4648 as she has limited availability for intensive treatment plans.**
Lymphatic drainage is covered under any extended health insurance plan that covers massage therapy.
