What to expect during treatment
An Aromatherapy Massage at Pavlov blends core Swedish massage techniques—long, gliding strokes and light to medium pressure—with topical essential oils chosen before the session. The therapist begins with a brief intake to review scent preferences and any skin sensitivities, then integrates oil application into the flow of the massage while maintaining professional draping and client comfort.
Throughout the 75 MINUTES session the pace, pressure, and oil use are adjusted to your feedback. Communication guides the experience: therapists check comfort, modify pressure, and can reduce or omit scented oil at any point. This approach helps clients decide whether the combined technique suits their comfort and relaxation goals without committing to strong fragrances.
Selecting and blending oils
Oil selection is client-centered: the therapist will ask about scent likes, dislikes, and any known sensitivities before blending. Oils are applied diluted into carrier oil as part of the topical work; inhalation of the aroma and skin contact together shape the subjective experience rather than producing a guaranteed physiological effect.
If you prefer minimal scent or are sensitive, the therapist can use a light dilution or skip scented oils while using Swedish strokes. This flexibility makes the service accessible to commuters and family clients in Penfield who want a milder aroma after appointments near parks, shops, or work routes.
