Spoil yourself with the three R’s: Relax, Refresh, Recharge.

We can arrange treatments like Deep Tissue Massage, Foot Reflexology Massage, Bamboo Massage, and many more… Where you want. Whenever you want. With whom you want – with a few friends maybe?

Each one of these treatments was carefully designed to help you achieve a specific benefit for your body. Using specialized techniques will help you get Energized, Relaxed, Detoxed or Rejuvenated. Let us know what you need and we will put together a body ritual that is tailored to you.

Please inquire about our most popular massages:

Deep Tissue…. 60 minutes or 90 minutes
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.

Foot reflexology massage… 60 minutes
Foot reflexology is a treatment that’s been practiced for centuries. It involves applying pressure to different points on the bottom of the foot. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points correspond to different areas of the body. They are believed to have multiple benefits, including reducing stress, aiding digestion, and promoting sound sleep. Researches show that reflexology can improve quality of life in a number of ways. This involves reducing stress and bringing balance to the system.
We also can arrange a full body reflexology massage.

Bamboo Massage… 60 minutes
Bamboo therapy is an alternative therapy for relaxation and physical improvement that deeply stimulates the skin, muscles, adipose tissue and the nervous system through gentle and pleasant contact with various bamboo sticks that are applied to each area of the body, depending on the patient’s needs. The bamboo stalks used in body and facial treatments vary in diameter and length, taking into account the patient’s anatomy. The results and benefits of bamboo therapy are achieved thanks to the stimulus created by the friction, impact and intermediate pressure of bamboo tubes and the elixir we are so much looking for in order to reach the deepest state of physical, mental and spiritual calm.

Swedish Massage… 60 minutes or 90 minutes
Swedish massage is a gentle type of full-body massage that’s ideal for people who:

  • are new to massage
  • have a lot of tension
  • are sensitive to touch

 

It can help release muscle knots, and it’s also a good choice for when you want to fully relax during a massage. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. The massage therapist will use a combination of kneading, long, flowing strokes in the direction of the heart, deep circular motions, vibration and tapping and passive joint movement techniques. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin.

Hot Stone massage… 60 minutes or 90 minutes
Hot stone massage is best for people who have muscle pain and tension or who simply want to relax. Hot stone therapy is a specialist massage that uses smooth, flat, heated stones that are positioned along your spine, in the palms of your hands, along your legs and between the toes. This type of therapeutic massage is similar to a Swedish massage, only the massage therapist uses heated stones in lieu of or in addition to their hands. Hot stone massage may help you ease muscle tension, improve blood flow, alleviate pain, promote relaxation and for sure relieve your stress. Using massage oil and a combination of strokes and techniques, your spa therapist will massage your neck, back, arms and legs, with and without the stones. You should always tell your spa therapist if the stones are too warm or the pressure is too intense.

If you’re looking for something else, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our beauty partners have so much more to offer such as body scrubs, body wraps, facials and combinations. And we all are very happy to help you create a unique experience for you and your needs.
