Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy isn’t only about nice smells. It is the application of pure essential oils derived from plants for the purpose of changing one’s emotional outlook, and for enhancing one’s health. Essential oils can be used for everything from soothing small cuts and burns to helping us sleep better or feel less anxious. Chimney Rock Essential Therapies has single note essential oils, diffusers, carrier oils and ready-made products blended by our certified clinical aromatherapist.

We offer a one hour aromatherapy class on the first Friday of every month at 6 pm. Each month we cover five essential oils that can help the “Symptom of the Month,” anything from sinus congestion to dry skin. Call to find out which symptom we will be covering each month! At the end of class we will be making our own essential oil product to take home and enjoy.

Cost of class: $20 per person

Massage

Pippa Purcell (LMBT NC #2602) has been practicing massage therapy for 20 years. She specializes in not having a specialty. Her experience is in private practice (Deep Tissue, Swedish), corporate events (Chair Massage), and in a healthcare setting (Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Bedside Hospital Massage and Oncology Massage). She believes that the client should be the guide in his or her own treatment, and that every reason for getting a massage, either to relax, work out a knot, or complement a client’s ongoing therapy, is a valid reason. Chimney Rock Essential Therapies is her alternate practice and ultimate retirement dream!

Yoga

Yoga at Chimney Rock Essential Therapies is for everyone! Yoga is whatever you want it to be, from a lifestyle choice to an exercise program. As a graduate of Bella Vita Yoga Teacher Training in Charlotte, NC, Pippa Purcell has learned that the benefits of yoga should be shared by everyone. Please come join our All Levels classes, where you will be treated as an individual, and supported in your yoga practice, whatever it entails! Beginners welcome!

Gifts

We stock everything for your aromatherapy needs. We also have handmade gifts by Virginian and Carolinian artisans, most of whom we know personally! We love making gift baskets from the local products we carry, including massage gift certificates. Contact us for more details.
