Feel better in 5 massages

Enjoy one of these blissful full body massages and be rejuvenated.

Hot Stone

A treatment that uses heated volcanic river rocks, heated in water then laid on the body to warm the muscles ready for massage. The hot stones are placed on specific acupressure points on the body to melt away knots, tension and stress.

Lymphatic Drainage
A light massage using circular movements designed to improve the functioning of the lymphatic system to drain excess fluid and reduce swelling in the body. The treatment was developed in the 1930s.

Aromatherapy
An aromatherapy massage can make you smell good feel relaxed and the essential oils used can help treat physical and emotional problems as well. This massage is rhythmic with some focus given to various pressure points and remedial techniques.

Ayurvedic
A massage that concentrates on marma points in the body where nerves, cartilage, muscle, bone and lymph glands are said to connect. These techniques are used to promote relaxation, circulation and elimination of toxins.

Moving or Massage cupping
Oil is applied to the skin before placing a small cup on the skin. This helps to create a vacuum. The practitioner glides the cup over the skin's surface to relieve muscular tension or inflamed joints.
