Aromatic-Touch Therapy℠

Aromatic-Touch Therapy℠ is an integrative healing approach designed to support relaxation, nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and overall well-being.

Sessions may be helpful for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, fatigue, insomnia, emotional tension, grief, life transitions, chronic stress patterns, or a general sense of disconnection, depletion, or loss of vitality.

Developed by Janice Gagnon-Warr, RN, HN-BC, HTCP, Aromatic-Touch Therapy℠ blends holistic nursing, clinical aromatherapy, energy medicine, relaxation therapies, sound healing, and body-based approaches that support the body’s natural healing response.

With over 40 years of experience as a psychiatric and holistic nurse and decades of experience in energy-based healing practices, Janice uses a variety of therapeutic modalities to support the release of accumulated stress and restore balance within the body, mind, and energetic system.

Sessions are individualized and may incorporate:

• Clinical aromatherapy using safe topical or inhalation applications of medicinal-grade essential oils
• Guided relaxation, visualization, mindfulness, and breathwork
• Progressive muscle relaxation and nervous system regulation techniques
• Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) / meridian tapping
• Polarity Therapy and energy-based balancing approaches
• Reflexology, acupressure, and gentle body-based interventions
• Sound healing with crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, drumming, rattling, and therapeutic sound
• Meditation, grounding, and energetic clearing practices

The intention of Aromatic-Touch Therapy℠ is to help activate the body’s natural relaxation response — the parasympathetic state associated with rest, restoration, clarity, healing, and improved resilience.

When the nervous system begins to settle, many people experience a greater sense of calm, improved sleep, emotional release, enhanced clarity, deeper connection to themselves, and an increased sense of well-being.

Aromatic-Touch Therapy℠ is grounded in the understanding that stress affects the whole person — physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically. Chronic stress patterns may contribute to tension, exhaustion, emotional imbalance, and reduced vitality over time. By supporting relaxation and restoring balance, sessions may complement overall wellness and self-care practices.

Clients often seek sessions for support with:

• Stress and anxiety
• Emotional overwhelm or burnout
• Sleep difficulties
• Grief and life transitions
• Chronic tension and fatigue
• Relaxation and nervous system support
• Mind-body-spirit connection
• Personal growth and healing

Aromatic-Touch Therapy℠ is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical or psychological care, but rather to complement traditional healthcare and support the body’s innate capacity for healing and balance.
