What Is Aromatherapy?
Massage focuses on the body, while Aromatherapy helps support how you feel.
This popular upgrade combines massage with the therapeutic qualities of essential oils. These plant-based extracts are absorbed through the skin and inhaled during your treatment, helping to influence the limbic system, which plays a role in emotion and memory. This can encourage a sense of calm, balance, and overall wellbeing.
At our Reading centre, we offer The TMC Collection, three signature essential oil blends created to suit different needs. Whether you want to relax, feel more energised, or find a moment of calm, there is a blend to complement your session.
As your treatment begins, a gentle, fresh scent helps create a calming environment, allowing you to unwind from the outset.

You can enhance any massage with one of our exclusive essential oil blends. Your therapist will guide you in choosing the most suitable option for your needs on the day.

Aromatherapy can be added to any massage to enhance both physical and mental benefits.
Combine it with a Deep Tissue Massage to support recovery and relieve tension, or with a Swedish Massage to deepen relaxation and promote a sense of calm.
For a more immersive experience, many clients choose to pair Aromatherapy with Hot Stones. The warmth helps the oils absorb more effectively, enhancing their benefits and creating a deeply relaxing treatment.

I had the most amazing experience here. From the welcoming atmosphere set by Kush at the reception to Radu's skillful hands, everything was perfect. Radu even identified a 5 year old injury and gave me advice on how to take care of it. I'm looking forward to my next visit.Posted on Google Danielle GraceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thoroughly enjoyed my first time experience here. The location is easy to get to from Reading train station and the moment you walk in, the setting is relaxing and inviting. I had a maternity massage with hot stones by therapist Alyssa K who was brilliant - I’d highly recommend her as your therapist. She ensured I was comfortable throughout, actively checking if pressure was okay. I really enjoyed the treatment and very nearly nodded off in relaxation. Alyssa was thorough in talking me through problem areas in my body and recommendations moving forward. Thank you Alyssa & TMC!Posted on Google Sophie OsborneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience this evening! Really accommodating staff including Grace and Harry at reception. And the best massage I’ve had in a long time from Radu- eased the tension in my shoulders, neck and back. Highly recommend!
