Autumn Woods Arrangement
An atmospheric autumn experience inspired by the scents and stillness of the forest.
Autumn Woods brings together forest-inspired scents, massage, warmth and sound in one extended treatment. A moment to step away from the busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in woody aromas, gentle touch and calming sounds.
Especially suited to those moments when your head feels full, you’ve had a lot of stimulation or you’re holding tension in your body. Here, there is nothing you need to do and the focus can simply be on you. Each part of the treatment flows gently into the next, inviting you to slow down, let go and relax more deeply.
Information
Autumn invites us to slow down and turn our attention inward a little more. The days grow shorter, leaves begin to fall and nature gradually prepares for a quieter season. We too tend to spend more time indoors, seeking warmth and making a little more space for rest.
Autumn Woods was created with this feeling in mind. We begin with scent, warmth and breathing, followed by massage of the body and face. Gradually, touch gives way to sound and vibration. A treatment that allows you to slow down more and more, while gently releasing tension along the way.
Foot bath & breathing exercise with botanical scents
We begin with a warm foot bath with Epsom salt and natural botanical scents that complement the autumn season. While your feet rest in the warm water, I guide you through a short breathing exercise using a botanical roller. This is followed by a short ritual with palo santo. Its warm, woody scent helps you settle into the moment and let go of outside distractions, creating a calm transition into the treatment.
Chi-Wit back massage
Next, you’ll receive a Chi-Wit massage focusing extensively on the back, shoulders and neck, while also including the backs of the legs and briefly the feet. This massage combines techniques from Thai, Vietnamese and Indian massage traditions. Flowing movements and a combination of gentle and firmer techniques give extra attention to areas where you tend to hold tension.
Especially for Autumn Woods, I use Herfstgloed, a natural massage oil with notes including pine, orange, vetiver and a hint of cinnamon. Its warm, spicy and woody scent subtly brings the feeling of autumn into the massage.
Japanese facial massage
You then turn over and the treatment continues with a Japanese facial massage. Using gentle, rhythmic massage movements, I treat the face, neck and scalp. The calming touch helps soften tension in the face and can be especially pleasant when your head feels busy or you tend to hold tension around your jaw and neck.
Sound experience
Gradually, touch gives way to sound. You remain comfortably lying down while different sounds and instruments alternate, taking you on a gentle journey from soft, clear tones to deeper sounds and vibrations. Some sounds you may mainly hear, while others might be felt as a subtle vibration in your body. There is nothing you need to follow or experience in a particular way. Simply allow the sounds to come to you and enjoy this final part of Autumn Woods.
Card & autumn tea
After the final sounds, you’ll have some quiet time to slowly return to the moment. While enjoying a warm cup of autumn tea, you intuitively choose a card with a personal message, something to reflect on and take with you after the treatment.
Who is Autumn Woods suitable for?
Autumn Woods can be especially enjoyable when you:
-
feel like your mind keeps going or you are often switched ‘on’
-

What can Autumn Woods bring you?
The combination of scent, breathing, touch and sound engages several senses and helps you step away from everything that usually demands your attention. The massages focus on areas where you hold tension, while the final part of the treatment invites you to relax more deeply. Autumn Woods is a moment where everything can soften a little: fewer distractions, less rushing and more attention for yourself. An extended autumn experience designed to calm a busy mind, release tension and leave you feeling relaxed and lighter as you step back outside.
