Massages
Mediterranean massage ritual:
- Inspired by the energetic spirit and warmth of Mediterranean cultures, this ritual enhances the essence of the ocean ... fluidity, restoration and relaxation. The hands of the therapist invoke the movement of the waves in a sensitive, nurturing massage that encourages a profound sense of wellbeing.
Aromasoul massage ritual:
- These four exclusive rituals synergise rare blends of essential oils with massage techniques inspired by the soul and culture of ancient worlds.
Indian massage ritual:
- By embracing the essence of the ancient Indian life philosophy of Ayurveda, the "science of life", Indian massage takes us both outward, releasing stress and tension, and inward, to the perfect state of equilibrium and peace.
- Return to your roots - deep, strong and energised. The energies of earth, water, fire and air are represented in a treatment that cradles each client in a unique sensory experience.
Oriental massage ritual:
- This ritual focuses on cleansing and stimulating the body's meridians (or energy channels), to regulate organs, release stored tension and promote the natural repositioning of your bones. This massage method uses many ancient Chinese techniques of manipulation to either increase or decrease energy, or to do both, throughout the body.
Madagascan rungu massage:
- A deeply relaxing body experience, where the rungu stick is used to enhance the penetration of calafilm oil. This unique madagascan oil is extremely nourishing and leaves the skin elasticised and firm.
Swedish massage:
- Swedish massage techniques form the basis of most massages. Employing gentle but firm manipulation of pressure points and muscles, your therapist will be able to adjust the pressure according to your preference.
- A flowing, relaxing massage technique using the ancient practice of selected aromatic essential oils for their therapeutic purposes.
Hot-stone massage:
- Smooth, heated Basalt stones are used to detoxify, relax and cleanse the body. By placing stones on the chakras (ayurvedic term for "energy centres") and gently rubbing the oiled stones over the muscles, this treatment leaves body tissue elasticised and toned.
- Experience supreme relaxation and complete rebalancing of body and mind with this Ayurveda-inspired massage. Starting with shiro dhara, a personalised blend of warm oils is gently poured over the centre of the forehead (where the "third eye" is found). While the oils nourish and strengthen the hair, your therapist will apply pressure to specific marma or energy points to invigorate and balance both body and mind.
Lymph drainage:
- Manual stimulation of the lymphatic system that encourages circulation, reduces oedema (water retention) and releases stored toxins, encouraging them to "flow" out of the body. Deeply detoxifying.
