AromaTouch Technique® Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AromaTouch Technique®?

The AromaTouch Technique® is a gentle, relaxing application of doTERRA® essential oils along the back and feet using light touch and specific application methods. The session is designed to create a calming, nurturing experience that supports overall well-being and relaxation.

What happens during an AromaTouch session?

During your session, you’ll typically lie face down on a massage table while the practitioner applies a sequence of doTERRA essential oils and blends to your back and feet using gentle, rhythmic movements. Unlike a traditional massage, the focus is on the application of essential oils rather than deep tissue or muscle manipulation.

Is the AromaTouch Technique® a massage?

No. While the session involves touch, it is not considered massage therapy. The technique uses light, consistent movements to apply essential oils and create a relaxing experience rather than addressing muscle tension through massage techniques.

What essential oils are used?

The AromaTouch Technique® follows a specific sequence of doTERRA essential oils and proprietary blends. Your practitioner can explain which oils are used during your session and discuss any preferences or sensitivities you may have.

What should I wear?

Most clients undress to their comfort level so the back can be accessed while remaining appropriately draped throughout the session. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and ensure your privacy and comfort at all times. Pants and underwear are left on.

How long does a session last?

Most AromaTouch sessions last between 30 and 40 minutes, though timing may vary depending on the practitioner and whether the technique is combined with other wellness services.

What might I experience during or after the session?

Everyone’s experience is unique. Many clients describe feeling deeply relaxed, calm, grounded, or refreshed. Some choose to rest, hydrate, or take it easy for the remainder of the day.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing, arrive well hydrated, and let your practitioner know about any allergies, skin sensitivities, medical conditions, or medications that may be relevant to your session.

Is the AromaTouch Technique® safe for everyone?

Most people tolerate the technique well; however, it may not be appropriate for everyone. Please let your practitioner know if you are pregnant or nursing, have sensitive skin, have known allergies to essential oils or other ingredients, have a medical condition, or are currently under a physician’s care. Your practitioner can help determine whether modifications are appropriate.

Can the AromaTouch Technique® be combined with other services?

Yes. Many practitioners incorporate the AromaTouch Technique® into a broader wellness session alongside services such as massage therapy, Reiki, energy work, or other complementary wellness practices.

How often should I receive an AromaTouch session?

The frequency depends on your personal wellness goals and preferences. Some clients enjoy sessions occasionally for relaxation, while others choose to receive them as part of their regular self-care routine.

Is the AromaTouch Technique® intended to treat medical conditions?

No. The AromaTouch Technique® is a complementary wellness service intended to support relaxation and overall well-being. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease and should not replace medical care from a qualified healthcare provider.
