Raindrop Therapy
What is Raindrop Therapy?
Nine essential oils are dropped in sequence from approximately six inches above the spine to simulate the feeling of rain falling on the body. A light massage stroke called “feathering” is combined with specific pressure points to the feet, legs, and back. These points are adapted from Tibetan massage to stimulate the nervous system and organs. Our therapists keep the client warm and cozy using thick sheets, blankets, and hot towel compresses.

What can I expect to feel during and after my treatment?
Clients can experience heating and cooling sensations from the oils used. Some clients feel calmer, more relaxed, or describe their state as “ready for bed”. Others may have the opposite effect and feel energized, rejuvenated and “ready for the day”. We recommend leaving the oils on for up to 12 hours to get the most benefit from their properties.
How often should I receive treatments?
Clients can experience Raindrop Therapy regularly to maintain a balanced body and well being. The optimal amount is every 3-5 weeks.
