The Ultimate massage is 90 mins of bliss! 

Split between reflexology, full body hot stone massage and a facial cold stone massage. 

Reflexology 

Reflexology is a type of therapy that uses gentle pressure on specific points along your feet to help you feel better. The theory is that this eases stress and that it helps your body work better. 

So how does it work ?

Pressing on areas of the feet in a calming way stimulates the nerves there, which sends a message to the central nervous system. Thus helps to relax the body and has positive effects on your breathing, blood flow and immune response. 

Full Body Hot Stone Massage 

A Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. I place the stones on specific points on your body. The localised heat and pressure of the stones warm and relax muscles,allowing me to apply deeper pressure to those areas. 

What are the benefits of hot stone massage ?

While hot stone massage has been popular for many years, using cold stones during a massage has been becoming increasingly popular. That’s because cold stone massage is an equally effective technique. 

A Cold stone masssge treatment involves chilling smooth stones on ice and then gently placing them or rolling them over the face or neck. The cooling sensations from this type of cryotherapy cause vasoconstriction of the blood vessels. And once the cold stones are removed the skin, the blood vessels begin dilating and supplying fresh blood and oxygen to the affected areas.
