Burnout is more than tiredness — it's a state of chronic nervous system dysregulation from sustained stress without adequate recovery. In HCMC, where work culture can be relentless and expat life adds the pressure of adaptation, burnout is common. It manifests as emotional exhaustion, physical depletion, inability to relax even when resting, and a persistent sense that sleep no longer restores.
Massage therapy is one of the few interventions that directly activates the parasympathetic nervous system and lowers cortisol. For burnout recovery, the goal isn't stimulation — it's profound, sustained calm. Our Aroma and Hot Stone sessions produce the deep parasympathetic response needed to begin nervous system restoration.

Everything you need to know before you book
For stress, anxiety, and sleep-related bookings, aromatherapy massage is the most commonly requested service — the combination of Swedish techniques and calming oils addresses both the physical and mental components simultaneously. Book for the evening (7–10 PM) for maximum sleep benefit. Same-day bookings are available with 2–3 hours notice. If you have oil sensitivities or scent preferences, mention them when booking via WhatsApp. A 90-minute session is the standard recommendation over 60 minutes — the extra time allows the nervous system to fully downshift.
Evening bookings dominate for this category — starting between 7 PM and 9 PM positions the session to feed directly into sleep. The 90-minute format works best for insomnia and anxiety: the first 20–30 minutes are often needed just to decompress before the deeper relaxation begins. For burnout or work stress, the session doesn't need to be at night — a midday booking can reset the second half of the day effectively. A late-night surcharge of 50,000 VND applies from 11 PM; for sessions specifically aimed at sleep, booking earlier avoids this.
The therapist arrives with massage oils and any equipment needed for the service — setup takes 5–7 minutes. For aromatherapy, they'll ask briefly about scent preferences before starting (lavender and chamomile for sleep/calm; eucalyptus for mental clarity). The strokes are long, flowing, and unhurried. The room fills with scent within the first few minutes. If you tend to carry tension in specific areas — shoulders, neck, jaw — mention it at the start. No need to maintain conversation; most clients drift in and out of a light sleep during the session. Payment is cash after; no deposit.
