Discover the doTERRA AromaTouch Technique
Melt away tension and bring your body back into balance
As someone who’s been working with essential oils and holistic therapies for years, I’ve seen how powerful touch and aroma can be in helping people relax, rebalance, and reconnect with themselves.
One of my favourite ways to share that experience is through the AromaTouch Technique. It’s a gentle, restorative approach to essential oil application that supports wellness from head to toe.
It’s not a massage. It’s a nurturing, rhythmic experience that helps the body unwind and reset.
Every time I share an AromaTouch session I see the shift. Shoulders drop, breathing deepens, and there’s this quiet moment where everything just settles. People often leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced and grounded.
What Is DoTERRA’s AromaTouch Technique?
Created by Dr. David Hill, one of doTERRA’s founders, this beautiful technique combines gentle touch with the application of pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. It’s designed to help the body find calm, respond to stress, support immune function, and encourage a deep sense of wellbeing. It’s simple, soothing, and surprisingly powerful.
The Experience
During an AromaTouch Technique session, specific essential oils are applied along the spine and on the feet in a gentle, rhythmic sequence.
Each oil has a purpose, working together to restore calm, support your immune system, and help your body reset.
It’s about more than relaxation. It’s about balance, connection, and supporting your natural wellbeing.
Why Try It?
Many people leave a session feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced.
Benefits include:
• Deep relaxation and emotional balance
• Support for immune and nervous systems
• Eased muscle tension and improved mood
An holistic way to help your body feel centred again.
What Is the AromaTouch Technique?
The AromaTouch Technique is a deeply calming, hands-on aromatherapy treatment designed to support the nervous system, reduce stress and encourage whole-body balance. It was developed to support the body’s natural ability to self-regulate.
Using a carefully selected sequence of pure essential oils applied with light, rhythmic touch along the back and feet, AromaTouch works quietly and effectively to bring the body out of stress mode and into a state of rest, regulation and ease.
It combines:
• The therapeutic properties of high-quality essential oils
• Gentle, rhythmic touch
• A structured sequence designed to calm the nervous system
Unlike massage, there is no deep pressure or muscle manipulation. Touch is light, smooth and reassuring, allowing the oils to be absorbed whilst the body softens and settles.
AromaTouch sits comfortably between the physical and energetic. A beautifully grounding treatment, it manages to be nurturing without being overwhelming or over stimulating, and is perfect for those who respond well to touch, aroma and structure.
Why the combination of essential oils and touch works
• Olfactory response: Aroma has a direct pathway to the limbic system, the part of the brain involved in emotion, memory and stress regulation
• Nervous system support: Slow, rhythmic touch helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system to rest and restore
• Somatic calming: Gentle physical contact can reduce perceived stress and promote a sense of safety and connection
You do not need to understand essential oils for the treatment to be effective. The body responds naturally.
What to expect in an AromaTouch session
Your session lasts approximately 45–60 minutes and is quiet flow and structure
• A short check-in to ensure comfort and preferences
• You will lie comfortably face down on the treatment couch, top half clothes and socks removed
(back and feet exposed, lower body covered)
• Essential oils are applied in sequence along the spine, shoulders and feet
• Touch is light, rhythmic and intentional
• A hand massage will be given at the end to complete the relaxation experience
• I will work in silence unless you wish to talk
• There will be time at the end to rest and integrate
Many clients experience deep relaxation, warmth, emotional release or a sense of being gently reset.
Clients often choose AromaTouch when they:
• Feel chronically stressed or overwhelmed
• Struggle to switch off mentally
• Feel emotionally or physically depleted
• Prefer hands-on support
• Want structure and consistency
• Are new to holistic therapies
AromaTouch can be received on its own, or there is an option to add a 15 minute Angelic Reiki at the end for an additional cost.
