What aromatherapy massage at Branford River Spa actually involves
Aromatherapy massage is a full hour of flowing, medium-pressure bodywork carried in a therapeutic essential-oil blend chosen with you at the start of the appointment — lavender and chamomile to settle a busy head, citrus and rosemary for low energy, eucalyptus and peppermint when you are congested.
The oils are professional grade and diluted properly in a carrier, so the scent stays present in the room rather than overwhelming. Your therapist works the back, shoulders, arms, legs and scalp, and the breathwork prompts through the first ten minutes are part of the treatment, not an extra.
Booking from Old Lyme: what to expect
You choose a blend, then undress to your comfort level under a warmed sheet. Your therapist checks pressure early, works front and back with steady gliding strokes, finishes at the scalp and neck, and leaves you a few quiet minutes with water before you get up.
Getting here from Old Lyme is straightforward — 28 miles away, 35-minute drive west on I-95. One clean I-95 run west to Exit 54 — Old Lyme guests almost always book half-day packages so a single drive covers massage, facial, and sauna together. Guests travel in from Sound View, Black Hall, Laysville, and South Lyme, and if you know the Florence Griswold Museum, Sound View Beach, and Old Lyme Town Green you are only minutes from our door at 249 East Main Street.
