We begin this experience with our traditional opening ritual of inhalation to focus the mind and center your thoughts. Wood energy can help to kick-start new beginnings and bring life energy into your space. An effective bamboo buff treatment is used to soften the skin as well as improving joint and muscle flexibility, while promoting balance and boosting energy. Draw positive energy from the minerals of the earth while the natural active botanicals hydrate your skin.

Be grounded and connect to nature’s earth. Center yourself in a calm environment by breathing in deeply, clearing your thoughts, and expanding your lungs filled with oceans air. Begin to let go of the tense energy by visualizing colours that ground you. Shades of yellow, orange and brown draw in stability, feel the salt crystals cleanse your skin and inhale the scent of cedar and sandalwood as you start to visualize an empowered version of yourself. Allow your muscles to relax while salt stones draw out impurities, remineralize your skin and melt away any tension.

This hydration experience draws on the power of hydrotherapy. Feel the drizzle on your skin as your feet get soaked in a gentle organic wash. Wash away your tension and relax in a warm bathing experience as you unwind your thoughts. While your body is warm envelope yourself in a rich rose neroli cream wrap. Float away as your scalp is massaged with therapeutic oils. To ensure a peaceful night’s sleep, ease away your tension with indulgent chamomile and rose damask body treatment to release stress and tension held in the body to promote overall wellbeing.

Enter a ceremony of sound therapy using ancient healing vibrational therapy to encourage mindfulness, self-awareness, and calming which in turn can encourage healing through stress relief. Begin to detoxify your thoughts and your body with a powerful invigorating tonic and Himalayan salt body. We encourage further elimination of fluid retention with a stimulating detox massage using traditional methods of suction cups.

Hold onto ancient healing powers of lava rocks wrapped in leaves. Allow the natural pain relief to begin to relax your mind and body. Energise the body with an uplifting essential blend of sweet orange, rosemary and marjoram sugar scrub. Refresh your mind and restore your meridian energy levels with the invigorating warm and cooling effects of modern hot stone therapy.
