August New Month Massage
Duration: 60 minutes
Objective: To ease any tension or stress accumulated during the summer months, and to prepare your body and mind for the new month ahead.
Massage Techniques:
- Warm-up: Begin with a gentle, soothing massage oil or lotion to warm up the muscles. Use long strokes and kneading motions to ease any tension in the neck, shoulders, and back.
- Summer Release: Focus on the areas that tend to hold the most tension during the summer months, such as the shoulders, upper back, and hips. Use deep, slow strokes to release any built-up stress and fatigue.
- August Awakening: Use gentle, circular motions to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote detoxification. This will help to refresh and rejuvenate the body, preparing it for the new month ahead.
- Cooling Down: Finish the massage with a calming, gentle touch to soothe the muscles and promote relaxation. Use a cooling gel or cream to help reduce any inflammation or discomfort.
Essential Oils:
- Lavender: To promote relaxation and reduce stress
- Peppermint: To invigorate and refresh the mind and body

- Focus on specific areas: If you have any specific areas of tension or discomfort, such as the lower back or knees, be sure to spend extra time working on those areas.
