When I first experienced the Raindrop Technique, I was surprised by how deeply it impacted both my body and my emotions. What I thought might just feel like a relaxing spa treatment turned out to be so much more—I felt lighter, calmer, and even noticed a difference in my posture. The combination of gentle touch and pure essential oils was unlike anything I’d ever tried before.

Because of these benefits, I decided to become a certified Raindrop Practitioner so I could share this experience with others in my community. Now, offering sessions has become one of my favorite ways to help people find balance, release stress, and discover natural support for their overall wellness.

What Is the Raindrop Technique?

The Raindrop Technique was developed in the 1980s by Gary Young, inspired by his work with Lakota medicine man Wallace Black Elk. This unique method blends the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils with light massage techniques to bring the body back into balance—structurally, emotionally, and energetically.

What makes it so special is the way it combines three modalities:

Aromatherapy – using a carefully chosen sequence of essential oils.
Vita Flex Technique – gentle reflexology-style movements that stimulate the body’s energy pathways.
Feather Stroking – light, relaxing strokes that encourage alignment and deep relaxation.

Together, these techniques create a restorative experience that supports the whole body.

What to Expect in a Session

When you come for a Raindrop session, we’ll start with a quick chat about how you’re feeling and what you’d like support with. Then you’ll simply relax on a massage table while therapeutic-grade oils are gently applied to your feet and along your spine using light strokes.

The oils are layered in a specific sequence—each one chosen for its unique benefits like immune support, stress relief, or muscle relaxation. Some sessions may also include a warm towel or additional gentle techniques to help the oils absorb and encourage deeper relaxation.

Each session lasts about an hour and many people say they feel calmer, more balanced and even notice better sleep and posture afterward. The benefits often continue for several days.

Everyone’s experience is unique, but these are some of the common benefits clients enjoy:

Why Quality Matters

Not all essential oils are the same—and this is something I’m very passionate about. While you can find oils on the shelves of Walmart, Target, or even natural food stores, I would never recommend using those. Many are diluted, adulterated, or filled with synthetic ingredients that completely compromise their effectiveness and, in some cases, can even be harmful.

That’s why I personally only use and recommend Young Living. At their core, Young Living is a farming company, owning and partnering with over 30 farms worldwide. They are the true pioneers in essential oil research and development and continue to set the industry standard for purity, safety, and sustainability.

Their Seed to Seal® promise isn’t just a slogan—it’s a commitment to planting, harvesting, distilling, testing, and bottling with unmatched care. It’s this commitment that ensures the oils I use in every Raindrop session are of the highest quality, offering safe, consistent, and powerful results.
