Learn about the benefits of massage for health and how to apply some self-massage techniques to the face and hands. 

We will explore techniques from Swedish massage such as effleurage (long stroking movements) and petrisage (using our fingers to apply pressure to the facial tissues, muscles and hands).

Using little bottles and jars we will make our own brightening face and hand oil with measurements of essential oils, mixing these with a carrier oil such as coconut oil and allowing the aromas to boost our energy and mood. 

With massage we can enhance our happy feel-good hormones and reduce stress hormones leaving us feeling relaxed and energised.
