An Aromatherapy Wood Massage Experience in London, England

An Aromatherapy Wood Massage Experience in London, England

By Selena Belisle, Founder/Instructor, CE Institute LLC

Did you ever experience that rolling pin massage back in the 1990s for cellulite?  There were instructions everywhere for it. It was a fad.  It was practiced with various essential oils such as orange and cinnamon, and you would vigorously roll the upper thighs with a rolling pin after neat essential oil application to the skin.  The instructions could vary to roll directly on the skin and through saran wrap too.  It seemed more appropriate to apply in your mother’s kitchen rather than a real treatment room too.

Fast forward to Summer 2025, and as I was walking through St. Christopher’s Place to Bond Street in London, England, where I came upon a sidewalk sign for SKH London Clinic. They were advertising various complimentary healthcare services including massage.  I like to try as many different services possible from the largest variety of practitioners to learn as much as possible.  One of the ways that massage therapists learn more about a service is by receiving it.  Naturally, I was intrigued when I saw Wood Massage advertised.  I went inside and asked what type of wood they used, and if it was bamboo?  They responded it was not, and then showed me a unique wood tool. So we booked an appointment, and I went back the next day to receive the bodywork.

The receptionist had told me their wood massage would focus primarily on the back of my legs and my abdomen.  However, my massage therapist, who was trained in India, asked if I would like to receive the wood massage as a full body treatment, so I said yes and agreed.  We started tart in the pronated position. She tucked two kleenexs in my underwear before she began to massage my back with oil.  She then started rolling a wooden massager over my back in various directions. She started with a larger broader massage tool, and then progressively worked into smaller tools.

The smaller tools used on my back massage included what looked like a wooden bell and a small round wooden brush with very large teeth.  Both were used to twist and friction the skin and underlying soft tissue.  To me, the bell and round brush felt better than the larger broader wooden tools. One of the more unique wooden massage techniques was when the wooden bell was placed over several vertebral spine at a time and twisted in opposing clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The entire back massage was performed from the left side of the table.  The therapist reached over the back to work the opposite side.

Once she finished with the back, she then moved onto one leg, then the other, with the smaller broad tool that was used on my back, plus the bell and round brush. She massage both legs with oil first prior to applying the wooden massage tools.  She did work from both sides of the table when she performed the leg massage with wood.  My feet were not worked on while in pronated position.  She then removed the tissue from my underwear and had me roll over onto my back.

Once in supinated position, she placed another two tissues on the anterior of my bottom underwear. The therapist then began to massage my abdomen with oil, which was solely provided from the left side of the table again.  Then she started the massage with another curved broad wooden tool.  She worked up to the rib cage and down to the ASIS. The middle of the abdomen was worked all the way inferiorly to just above the pubic hair line. The abdomen massage felt perhaps the best of all areas.  Once the larger broader tool was completed, she then moved onto the bell where it was twisted in clockwise and counterclockwise motions amongst others.

The practitioner then moved onto my arms, one at a time.  Oil was applied first and then she supinated my arm to work primarily the inside of it.  Both upper and lower extremities were worked from superior to inferior, opposite of the venous return strokes that would regularly be applied in regular Swedish massage appointments.

Once she finished with the arms, she moved onto the anterior legs.  Careful attention was spent around the knees and the same wood tools used on the posterior were continued on the anterior legs. She did place the bell and twisted it over the patella which was unusual but good. The tools were used lightly but directly over my tibias but it was not painful.  The same over the vertebral spine. She finished some of the massaged areas with a smooth long round tool that was similar to a stick of bamboo.

The full body wood massage ended with an oil foot massage on the feet without any tools.  It was probably one of the least favorite massages I’ve had in an almost 40 year career.  It was not smooth, was occasionally painful, especially when working with too much pressure over the heads of the humerus. I was also worried about sanitation given I refused to start until the table sheet was replaced given it was partially soiled with splotched oil and facial make-up around the hole for the face. Some of the strokes felt good in some areas but most of the strokes did not. The massage therapist applied her skills with fairly rough application with just oil, so when hard tools were added, it felt worse. 

Notes that could have improved this bodywork appointment:

  1. Allow privacy for the clients to disrobe, dress and mount or dismount the massage table.
  2. Bolster the clients ankles in pronated position and knees in supinated position.
  3. Provide a sheet or towel to cover the client with during the treatment instead of leaving a client fully exposed while draping underwear with klenex.
  4. Wipe oil off feet at the end of the treatment prior to table dismount.
  5. Use extra caution running wood over bony protuberances.
  6. Provide cleaner linens by either changing these between clients and/or employer better laundering techniques.

  • Hailey Garcia - December 23, 2025

    My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor AGBON to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor AGBON, WhatsApp Number :+2349058797761

  • Cheryl Bayerl - September 05, 2025

    I am very happy to share with everyone who is reading this and to inform the whole public of how I got help for my herpes. I have always prayed to be permanently cured of herpes since over five years ago, and I have also taken treatment from some medical doctors but all to no avail, a few weeks back I came on the internet to see if I would be able to get any information as to cure my herpes, on my search I saw various testimony of people who were helped by a great African traditional herbal healer called dr Utu.
    Without any hesitation, I contacted him for a permanent solution. He guided me and he started the remedies for me indeed four weeks after I started using the medicine, I was completely happy as it worked for me.
    I went to the hospital for a check-up and indeed I was declared negative for my disease, I also waited again for two months and went back to another hospital for a check-up to be fully assured, and to my great surprise I was still declared negative, and I decided to share this great opportunity to those people out there fighting this sickness, You can contact him now for your own herbal cure to permanently cure your diseases, contact his Email; drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
