The Higher Realm — Swedish

ARRIVE — static touch, several deep breaths, silence. Let her land before you begin.

WORK — the service itself. Re-drape as you move; warmth is part of the experience.

CLOSE — deep breaths with gentle compressive movements. Re-drape fully. The chime.

FOLLOW UP — the Recommendation Form. Water. Say something specific.

A CBD massage on the Swedish shape — CBD-infused oil, a targeted CBD topical, and a CBD edible included as part of the service.

The edible is part of THIS service. It is not the same thing as the separate CBD enhancement you can add to other services — keep those two apart when you talk about them.

Against the deep-tissue variant: the same additions, different work.

⚠ The menu labels BOTH CBD variants 'Our #1 massage'. Unresolved — catalogue and copy.

Familiar, with more going on around it. The CBD elements are the part guests notice.

Step 1 Pre-Session • before table

Confirm the guest has received their CBD edibles at consultation. This is a required step.

Step 2 Opening Ritual • 1 min

Invite several deep breaths as you apply static touch to the shoulders.

Step 3 CBD Swedish Techniques • 3–8 min per area

Apply CBD signature oil with long, fluid effleurage strokes. Allow the oil to absorb through consistent skin contact — don't rush.

Effleurage and gliding are the basis of this ritual. CBD penetration is maximized through slow, sustained strokes rather than fast, stimulating ones.

Apply small amounts of topical CBD treatment to areas of specific concern — cooling for inflammation, warming for tension.

Step 4 Closing Ritual • 1 min

Guide several deep breaths with gentle compressive movements. Re-drape fully.

Offer post-session CBD edible. Conclude with the energy-balancing chime.

Step 5 Guest Follow-Up • 1–3 min

Complete Recommendation Form and offer water.

Retail Suggestions: PALOMA signature CBD edibles, GrÖn or Lord Jones products.

Service Suggestions: Meditation, Sauna, The Grounding Stone.

Therapist reminders

Edibles before the session — confirm this at greeting, not when you're already at the table.

The Swedish technique is intentional here. Slower, deeper effleurage maximizes CBD transdermal absorption more than faster strokes.

Cooling topical = inflammation. Warming topical = tension. Choose with intention after your intake.

This service pairs perfectly with aromatherapy or hot towel add-ons — mention them at intake.

Not appropriate for pregnant guests under any circumstances.

Signature CBD Massage Oil (Black)

PALOMA's full-body CBD massage oil — a hemp-derived cannabidiol formula blended into a lightweight carrier oil. CBD reaches the muscles and connective tissue transdermally through consistent effleurage application across the full body.

CBD Topical Treatment — Cooling or Warming (½–1 tsp)

Applied after the full-body oil phase to areas of specific concern — joint inflammation, localized tension, or sore spots the guest identifies at intake. The cooling topical reduces inflammation rapidly; the warming topical drives circulation and absorption. Choose based on guest need.

CBD Edibles (2 complimentary)

Offered to the guest before and after the session for systemic benefit. The pre-session edible begins working as the massage commences; the post-session edible extends the anti-inflammatory and relaxing effects for hours afterward. Always ensure the guest has received their edibles before the session begins.

What is in them

CBD (Cannabidiol) — Binds to CB2 receptors in skin and muscle tissue; reduces local inflammation, alleviates pain, and modulates the stress response without psychoactive effect

Hemp-Derived Terpenes — In full-spectrum formulas, terpenes add complementary anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic benefits through both absorption and inhalation during the session

Carrier Oil Base — A lightweight, skin-compatible oil that delivers consistent glide for effleurage while maximizing CBD penetration through prolonged skin contact

“The CBD oil I'm using today works through your skin — it reaches your muscles and nervous system directly, without a psychoactive effect.”

“The edibles work systemically — they're reaching parts of your body the topical application can't. Together they create a full-spectrum response.”

“CBD is particularly effective for anxiety and stress — it supports your endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, sleep, and pain. You may notice the mental effects as much as the physical ones.”

“The cooling or warming topical I apply to specific areas will continue working for hours after you leave.”

“Always reference PALOMA's CBD informational sheet for any guest questions beyond the basics.”
