In my aromatherapy massage practice I now have a deck of essential oil cards. I ask clients to set their intention for their treatment, they blindly choose two or three cards, and I create their blend based on those three essential oils. An example of an intention could be, “I want to experience less stress at work” or “I want to calm my thoughts so that I can focus on the task at hand.” Massage with a focus on intention is one of the things that makes me unique. One of my recent clients was not entirely convinced that blindly choosing scents would work. However, the cards that were chosen and their associated use were actually aligned with what this client was experiencing and dealing with in life.

“The cards I chose were oils that I would not have willingly picked. However, I find that my breathing calms and I’m able to better focus using the blend of oils that I randomly chose.”  Jamie
