Frequently Asked Questions
What is the JGEOT difference?
the energetic trinity of aromatherapy, manual manipulation (massage), and crystal energy therapy
together they provide a holistic healing practice that encourages profound change within the self addressing every aspect that makes you, well, you.
Aromatherapy is offered in EVERY treatment; custom or not it’s up to you!
Massage and Bodywork is a foundational pillar of every treatment I offer
Crystalline Energy is blended into every element… it is infused into each one of my Signature Synergies, in my water decanter, and I utilize the delicious energy produced by the BioMat®, which offers detoxifying far-infrared heat radiating through a layer of crushed amethyst.
Want to know more from the makers of the BioMat? After watching this video you’ll see why I’ve invited it into my Wellness Studio. Book in for a massage to experience it!
Can I use my extended health benefits?
The short answer is no, unfortunately not.
While my bodywork training began in the RMT program, I am not a Registered Massage Therapist. In the province of British Columbia and Canada, in order to claim massage services, they need to be provided by an RMT.
Even though you may not be able to use extended benefits, do not let this discourage you from experiencing the magic that is Custom Aromatherapy combined with Massage.
What does your logo mean?
Borrowed from the art & science of Ayurveda — purple represents Earth, blue represents the Water element, and silver is Air/Ether.
These elements are held within the triangle which is representative of the trinity — aromatherapy, massage, energy work; mind-body-spirit.
The triangle/trinity safeguards the Flower of Life — a sacred geometry symbol that is said to “contain vital information on the Universe and all living things”.

What is “Scent Memory”?
In short, scent memory is what occurs when your brain is triggered by a specific smell which causes you to think of a specific time or place. This is an essential effect of aromatherapy I utilize most during the Custom Alchemical AromaMassage — imagine when you become stressed in the week(s) following your treatment you can take a sniff and be whisked back to your moment of Zen during the massage… as if by magic you’re no longer stressed!

Are your essential oils Certified Therapeutic Grade?
Interestingly, there is no regulating body that certifies essential oils. Companies that boast such a title are technically misrepresenting their product due to this lack of regulation.
I can guarantee that my oils are of the highest quality as I purchase from suppliers who are pioneers of aromatherapy and essential oils in Canada – I always ask for certificates of authenticity when sourcing suppliers to avoid potential adulteration.
Trust and Believe they are high quality, safe when used appropriately, and boast such exquisite aromas you can literally smell the difference.

Trouble choosing a Treatment?
Here’s some F.Y.I…
The making of Gaia’s Embrace Massage Soufflé — cocoa & shea whipped body butter that melts into a massage oil on contact with body temperature; simply divine.
Gaia’s Embrace Hot Stone Ceremony —
this treatment is a ceremony that exceeds the expectations of a traditional Hot Stone Massage infusing the five ayurvedic elements of wind, water, fire, earth, and aether.
We begin with the burning of Sacred Frankincense which fills the studio with purifying, healing incense and a complimentary guided visualization-meditation to tune into the breath. \
Frankincense is said to raise one’s vibration, clear & cleanse the auric field of negativity and purify the space.
Then luxuriate on an infrared heated pad of crushed amethyst while tension is melted away by hot basalt stones and my signature creation: Gaia’s Embrace Massage Soufflé.
Ground your energies earthy essential oils of vetiver, oakmoss, frankincense, patchouli, nutmeg, angelica root, and myrrh infused with a touch of cocoa.
“Be transported into the comforting embrace of Gaia, our divine Mother Earth.”
Can I buy essential oils from you?
You can buy bottles of my signature blends, however at this time I do not have a line of single note essential oils.
For now, come by for a sniff of my magical creations! (By Appointment Only)
What happens in a Custom Aromatherapy Consultation?
1. We start by talking about your specific needs – what might be troubling you, or what you desire to focus your custom blend on – be it a physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or energetic complaint.
2. After talking about your health history, and scent profile, together we blend essential oils together to address your specific needs – utilizing your nose and my knowledge of the plant essences.
3. I support you as you thoughtfully choose your oils based on how you feel when you experience each unique plant.
4. I expertly blend your selected oils together so that it is balanced to your liking because the theory is that when you personally enjoy a blend of essential oils its efficacy is more significant than an off-the-shelf blend from a store.
5. At JGEOT we believe in the importance of support with your custom product – your aromatherapy session doesn’t stop at the blending – Justin connects with you in 7 days time to follow up on the success of your custom synergy. Adjustments can be made; our belief is aromatherapy should be something you love and cherish that is uniquely you.
What can I expect from an Alchemist’s Massage?
1. We begin with a brief discussion of your health history and intake form.
2. Based on your desired outcome of the massage, and any specific areas of focus, we will discuss a treatment plan.
3. You select a signature blend for your treatment – gently guided by me if there are blends more specific to your needs on the day of the session.
4. massage, aromatherapy, far-infrared heat, crystal therapy, and sound are interwoven to calm the nervous system and offer an increased state of relaxation and bliss.
5. After your treatment, enjoy a glass of crystal-infused water while I check-in to see if we reached your desired outcome.
Should I upgrade to a Custom AromaMassage?
…my short answer is: YES!
Preliminary studies into the importance of custom-blended essential oils versus conventional synergies demonstrate a significantly higher efficacy for an individual’s needs.
WHY?
custom essential oils target your distinct physical, emotional, and mental complaints (or all of the above).
I blend with a perfumer’s nose & therapeutic mindset — because when it smells wonderful you’re more likely to want to use it AND enjoy it.
Aroma is fiercely attached to memory and emotion. By accessing this connection, the healing that follows is often more profound and effective.
In a Custom AromaMassage, we begin with a mini Custom Aromatherapy Consultation during which we’ll create a 30ml (1oz) bottle of massage oil utilizing your nose and my knowledge catered to your individual needs. After you divine treatment — an infusion of therapeutic and relaxation techniques — you leave with your bottle of oil to continue your scent journey at home during your suggested homecare regime.
