Raindrop Therapy: A Restorative Aromatherapy Experience

45 minutes: $55

Raindrop Therapy, also known as The Raindrop Technique™, is a specialized aromatherapy massage developed by D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils. This method involves applying multiple essential oils along the feet and down the spine, integrating techniques such as Vita Flex, reflexology, and massage to enhance their therapeutic effects.

Each essential oil contributes unique benefits, working together to promote balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. Designed to align the body’s energy centers and gently release blockages, this technique offers a soothing experience without the need for deep pressure or force.

Raindrop Therapy provides a gentle yet powerful way to support the body’s natural harmony, creating an environment of restoration and relaxation.



Benefits of Raindrop Therapy
According to claims, using the sequence of antimicrobial essential oils can help reduce inflammation and can kill bacteria living dormant in the spine.
Additional benefits include:

  • pain reduction
  • stress relief
  • improved circulation
  • boosted immunity
  • improve focus and concentration


How is Raindrop Therapy done?
The session will start with the client starting face up, working on the feet first. Raindrop is also an energetic practice, and it is common to feel an energy shift upon starting. Each oil is applied one at a time down the spine of the foot using the Vitaflex technique, a pressure point reflexology technique that uses rolling and releasing motions to activate pressure points.
After each oil is applied to both feet, I'll then have the client flip over and repeat the process along the spine, this time with different application techniques for each oil. The whole process takes about 45 minutes give or take, and the remaining time is then used for traditional Swedish massage.

Contraindications:
Putting undiluted essential oils directly to the skin may cause irritation for some people. If you begin to experience any burning sensations, let your practitioner know right away. Using a vegetable or coconut oil will work to remove the essential oils from the skin. With that being said, it is perfectly fine to shower after a Raindrop Therapy session, you'll still get all of the oil's benefits!
Other contraindications include:

  • compromised liver or kidney function
  • pregnancy
  • those with heart disease
  • those on blood thinners
  • allergies to aspirin


Benefits of each oil:

  • Valor- confidence, soothing, emotional balance
  • Oregano- antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
  • Thyme- antioxidants, improving heart and respiratory health, promote digestion, skin health, immunity
  • Basil- ease cramps, joint pain and muscle aches
  • Cypress- ease muscle pain, stomach cramps, improving blood flow, promotes lymphatic drainage
  • Wintergreen- increase circulation, digestion, promote detoxification, calm inflammation, ease pain, soothe symptoms of psoriasis, ease cold and flu symptoms
  • Marjoram- soothe coughs and cramps, digestion, depression, dizziness, and migraines
  • Aroma Siez- antioxidants, immune support, calming and soothing
  • Peppermint- pain relief for headaches and muscle aches, joint pain and itching. Coughs and colds, reduce stress
  • White Angelica- calming and soothing, feelings of protection and security, protection against negative energy


How often should you get a Raindrop Therapy session?
It is recommended to get Raindrop four times per year, one for each season. Though it is fine to get them more frequently, however I would space them out to no more than once per month.

End-of-Life (Death Doula)

A doula is a compassionate guide who provides non-medical support for individuals and their loved ones as they navigate serious illness, dying, death, and grief. Recognizing the deeply personal and multifaceted nature of end-of-life experiences, doulas offer practical, emotional, physical, and spiritual care tailored to each person's unique needs and wishes.

Their support extends beyond the final days, offering guidance for those facing serious illness, caregiving challenges, bereavement, and major life transitions. Whether accompanying someone through their last moments or assisting families in processing grief, doulas help ensure dignity, comfort, and connection throughout the journey.

What an End-of-Life Doula Does Not Do

  • Medical Care: As a non-medical role, end-of-life doulas do not manage, adjust, or administer medications.
  • Decision-Making: Doulas do not make healthcare decisions or offer opinions on a client’s care plan. Instead, they provide education and referrals to support informed choices.
  • Personal Beliefs: Doulas never impose their own beliefs on clients. They honor and respect each person's values, wishes, and decisions.
  • Physical Caregiving: While doulas are not licensed healthcare providers, they offer guidance and support to family members and caregivers assisting the patient.
