Aromatherapy Massage Therapy in Palo Alto
Soothing essential oils, skilled hands, and a private room prepared just for you — a sensory escape that deepens with every breath.
Let Scent Carry You Somewhere Quieter
Aromatherapy massage therapy works on two senses at once. While your massage therapist eases tension with warm, flowing strokes, carefully chosen essential oils fill your private room — and your breath does the rest. Lavender settles the mind. Eucalyptus opens the chest. Citrus lifts a heavy week off your shoulders.
Here is how it works at Watercourse Way. Before your session begins, your therapist talks with you about how you want to feel — calmer, clearer, or simply unwound — and blends essential oils into professional-grade massage oil from Bon Vital' and Biotone to match. The pressure is typically gentler than deep tissue, closer to a Swedish massage, so the scent and the touch work together rather than compete.
Aromatherapy is the right choice when stress lives in your head as much as your muscles — before a big week, after one, or whenever sleep has been thin. If you carry stubborn knots, your therapist can blend in firmer, focused work, or you can add warm stones to let heat sink into tight spots while the oils do their quiet work.

How Guests Describe Letting Go
Went to the Watercourse bathhouse with my girlfriend during our visit to the Bay Area. One of the best spas that we’ve been to. Loved the staff and the cleanliness. We got the package with a massage and our private room with a sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. Our massages were absolutely amazing! Cannot wait to go again on our next visit.

Aromatherapy Massage, Explained Simply
What guests ask most before booking an aromatherapy massage — answered plainly, so nothing about your visit is a surprise.
An aromatherapy massage pairs hands-on massage with essential oils chosen to shift how you feel — calmer, clearer, or more rested. At Watercourse Way, your therapist blends essential oils into professional massage oil from Bon Vital' and Biotone, so the scent works on your mind while flowing strokes work on your muscles. The pressure is usually gentler than deep tissue, closer to a Swedish massage, though your therapist can adjust it to you.
Your therapist selects essential oils based on how you want to feel, talking with you before the session begins. Calming blends like lavender help quiet a busy mind, while brighter notes lift energy and heavier ones ease you toward rest. If you have scent preferences or sensitivities, tell us when you book — we'll prepare your room accordingly.
Yes — easing stress is what aromatherapy massage does best. The combination of calming scent, warm oil, and unhurried touch helps your nervous system settle, which is why many guests choose it when tension lives in their head as much as their shoulders, or when sleep has been restless. Many guests leave describing themselves as, in their own words, 'blissed out.'
You can. Warm stones let heat sink into tight muscles while the essential oils do their quiet work, and extended session time gives your therapist room to slow down even further. Both are optional, and we'll give you the exact price for any enhancement before you decide — no surprises.
Call us at (650) 462-2000 or request a free quote online, and we'll walk you through session options, enhancements, and what's included. We're open from 8 AM to late evening seven days a week, so it's easy to find a time that fits. Your private room will be ready — fresh towels, soft light, scent in the air — the moment you arrive.
