Thai Aromatherapy Massage

Essential oils chosen for your mind and body — relaxation that travels home with you.

Thai Aromatherapy Massage combines our Thai Oil Massage technique with carefully selected pure essential oils blended for your specific mood and needs. The aromatherapy element deepens the therapeutic effect: the essential oils are absorbed through the skin during massage and inhaled throughout the session, working on both the body and the nervous system simultaneously. Whether you choose calming lavender for stress relief, uplifting citrus for low energy, or grounding eucalyptus for respiratory support, Maliwan will guide you to the right blend before the session begins.

Key Benefits

What to Expect

Before the massage begins, Maliwan will ask about your current energy levels, stress, and any specific concerns. She will then suggest an essential oil blend or invite you to choose from the options available. The massage itself follows the same flowing, full-body sequence as our Thai Oil Massage — the aromatherapy element enhances every stroke. Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes, fully draped on the treatment table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose my own essential oils?

Yes — Maliwan will present the available blends and explain the properties of each, or you can simply tell her what you're looking for (relaxation, energy, focus, stress relief) and she'll recommend the right combination.

Is aromatherapy massage safe during pregnancy?

Some essential oils are contraindicated during pregnancy. Please mention your pregnancy when booking so we can select a safe blend and adapt the treatment accordingly. We are happy to accommodate with appropriate oils and positioning.

What if I'm sensitive to strong scents?

Essential oils can be diluted further for those with scent sensitivity, or we can select milder blends. If you have known allergies to specific plant families, let us know and we'll work around them.

How long does the scent last after the session?

The oils continue to be absorbed and metabolised by your body for several hours after the massage, so the therapeutic and aromatic effect does travel home with you. Most clients find the scent noticeable on the skin for the rest of the day, which is part of the experience.

Is aromatherapy massage suitable for first-timers?

Yes — the oil massage technique is gentle and familiar, and the aromatherapy element simply adds another layer of therapeutic benefit. Maliwan will talk you through the oil options before you begin, so you'll feel informed and at ease before a stroke is applied.

How often should I book to get the best results?

For stress management and mood support, once a month tends to be the sweet spot for most clients. If you're going through a particularly demanding period, a session every two to three weeks will help maintain the nervous system calm between appointments.

I recently had a Deep Tissue Thai massage with Maliwan, and it was truly exceptional. This is my third visit so thought I should write a review. From the moment the session began, she created a calming, welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to relax. Her technique is outstanding- precise and incredibly intuitive. She knew exactly where to apply pressure and how to release tension without ever causing discomfort. What stood out most was her professionalism combined with genuine warmth. Every stretch and movement felt purposeful, and I walked out feeling lighter, more flexible, and completely refreshed. It was easily one of the best massages I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for an authentic, deeply restorative Thai massage, I highly recommend booking with Maliwan. She is truly gifted at what she does.

I had a Thai massage here recently and the experience was a mix of positives and challenges. The massage room was spacious, ambient, and very comfortable, especially the massage table. The masseuse was friendly, attentive, and clearly skilled. The massage itself was mostly relaxing, but at times the pressure was stronger than I could comfortably handle. I was reassured it was “good pain” due to the tightness in my shoulders and back, but I did end up with bruises on my arms and back and felt very sore for a couple of days, which affected my sleep. On the positive side, a few days later I noticed that I felt lighter and less tense, which shows the massage did release a lot of tightness. I would recommend this place for those who like deep, strong pressure massages, but if you prefer something gentler, I suggest making this clear to the masseuse at the start.

A beautiful experience — highly recommended I had the pleasure of booking a Thai massage in Glasgow today and it was a truly beautiful experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease. The team was very friendly, incredibly professional, and delivered excellent work throughout my visit. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and I could tell that great care was taken in every detail. It’s clear that the ladies working here are passionate about what they do, and I’m so grateful for the hard work they put in. This is definitely a place I’d love to return to — and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you again!

Fantastic place. Staff are very knowledgeable, attentive and skilled. I had some tightness in my back and hip which they noticed right away and went a long way to easing. The staff were also careful around my knee and elbow which had some sporting injuries. The rooms are serene with light music and subdued lighting. The hot oil treatment is very soothing. I look forward to returning. Many thanks
