Pause and Reset: A New Moment of Wellness with Mandarin Oriental and Aromatherapy Associates
At Aromatherapy Associates, caring for every stage of life has always been at the heart of what we do. Our Pause and Reset treatment was developed to bring comfort, clarity and connection to those navigating menopause, perimenopause and hormonal changes. This month, we are proud to see this purposeful ritual introduced across nine Mandarin Oriental spas worldwide, in celebration of World Menopause Day.
Alongside this global launch, Pause and Reset has received the GenM MTick™ certification, the world’s first independent symbol that helps people identify products and experiences which actively support menopause wellbeing. Five of our most trusted Aromatherapy Associates products have also been MTick™ certified, reflecting our continued commitment to inclusive, authentic wellness.
Pause and Reset was designed to nurture both body and mind through a series of thoughtful, restorative techniques. The ninety-minute ritual begins with a guided aroma consultation to choose from three essential oil blends that best reflect how you feel in the moment. Support Equilibrium blends Rose, Geranium and Frankincense to restore inner balance, Support Lavender and Peppermint cools and refreshes the body, easing moments of heat or fatigue, and De-Stress Mind supports mental clarity and calm.
The experience continues with mindful breathing, body brushing, a soothing abdominal massage, hand and foot reflexology and a hydrating discovery facial. Together, these elements create a restorative sense of balance, leaving the body grounded and the mind at ease.
The Pause and Reset treatment is now available at nine Mandarin Oriental spas around the world: Bangkok, Hong Kong, Macau, Bodrum, Bosphorus Istanbul, Singapore, Muscat, Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur. Renowned for its leadership in luxury wellness, Mandarin Oriental is the first global hotel group to introduce an MTick™ certified spa treatment, reflecting its dedication to creating meaningful, evidence-informed wellbeing experiences that meet the real needs of guests.
Each product recognised by the GenM MTick™ reflects the same care, craftsmanship and integrity as the Pause and Reset treatment. From our De Stress Mind Shower Oil to the Rose Bath and Shower Oil, De Stress Body Oil, Deep Relax Sleep Well Nourishing Body Treatment and Hydration Boost Mist, every formula is hand crafted in London by our Master Blender using the finest natural ingredients and essential oils. Together, they offer comforting rituals to support wellbeing every day, wherever you are.
Through our ongoing partnership with leading spas like Mandarin Oriental, we continue to expand access to meaningful wellness experiences that honour both heritage and modern needs. As eight-time winners of the World’s Best Aromatherapy Brand at the World Spa Awards, Aromatherapy Associates remains devoted to creating authentic, results-driven experiences that nurture wellbeing in every sense.
