Wellness

Aromatherapy, massage, reflexology manicure and pedicure are available on request in the privacy of your suite.

Aromatherapy Massage 
Combines the use of gentle, rhythmic massage with the therapeutic effects of Essential Oils.  This is not a vigorous massage but rather a gentle treatment used for relaxation.  Please inform reception if you are pregnant or nursing as some oils are regarded as dangerous in these circumstances.

Holistic Massage
This treatment includes all those massage therapies (such as Swedish) that manipulate the soft tissues of the body.  Since emotional, mental and physical tension is stored in the muscle tissue, skilled massage applied to the soft tissue encourages the muscular and nervous systems to relax and release tension from the system.

Holistic Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage


Hot Stone Massage
This treatment uses warmed black volcanic stones to release and drain trapped tissue fluids thereby encouraging circulation throughout the body.  The pressure and gentle heat of the stones ease tight, contracted muscles introducing a deep sense of relaxation.

Reflexology
Is a method of stimulating the body’s healing mechanisms through the massage of certain reflex points on the feet.  Working through the various reflex points, the reflexologist is able to draw up an accurate map of where there are blockages in energy flow, which is closely correlated to health problems.  Massaging these reflex points, congested areas are unblocked and energy flow is restored enabling the process of healing to begin.  This is an excellent therapy for those people who prefer not to have full body massages, but would still like to derive the same benefits.

Shiatsu 
Shiatsu utilizes a combination of pressure and assisted-stretching techniques, some of which are common to other therapies, such as Massage, Physiotherapy, Acupressure and Lymphatic Drainage. The treatment stimulates the circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid, releases toxins and deep seated tensions from the muscles, stimulates the hormonal system and the immune system, and acts on the autonomic nervous system, allowing deep relaxation and the ability to get in touch with ones own healing power. No oils are used during the massage thus you remain clothed.

Indian Head & Shoulder Massage 
Is a treatment involving work on the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face. A variety of massage movements are used to relieve accumulated tension, stimulate circulation and restore joint movement. Indian head massage is also used to aid the condition and health of the hair, particularly when combined with the use of natural organic oils. Indian head massage helps to reduce stress and fatigue, increase mental clarity, and relax and rejuvenate the receiver.
