Stone Massage The ultimate in relaxation. We offer three
choices of Stone Massage.
Hot Stone uses warm basalt stones to help release tension
and allow energy to flow freely. Comforting and soothing
with its warmth, this service is perfect for connecting
the energy of nature with your natural energy centers to
release stress and blockages.
Cold Stone utilizes stones made from marble. Marble
stones retain cold temperatures since they are naturally
colder than other stones. While cold stone massage is
most commonly used to treat sports injuries, there are
many other positive benefits. The cool temperatures used
in the treatment help to reduce swelling, bloating and
inflammation while increasing circulation and boosting
energy levels. This treatment is also used as a form of
stress and anxiety relief, as the stones redirect the mind’s
focus on the body.
Contrast Therapy with Hot and Cold Stones Hot and
cold stones are used together using the “yin and yang”
concept. The combination is said to increase circulation
while reducing inflammation and pain.
A word of caution: Individuals who have certain heart ailments or
cold sensitivities should avoid cold stone massage until they have
discussed it with their physician first.
All massages above (except Four Handed)
are available as couple’s services.
Designed to create a sense of balance within the body and reconnect
you with nature’s calm – all of our spa body treatments are performed
with attention to detail to ensure your body and skin are restored to
a smooth, refreshed, hydrated state.
Body Firming Wrap This wrap treatment targets specific
areas of cellulite for younger looking skin. While you enjoy
the heat from the wrap, your therapist performs a luxurious
facial massage followed by a balancing foot massage. Finally,
a calming lotion is used to hydrate your body for a beautiful
glow. Also available as a couple’s spa experience.
Moroccan Ritual Be revitalized, refreshed and relaxed
by the luxurious journey that is inspired by a traditional
Moroccan Hammam and Shirodhara ritual. This begins with
the detoxifying and invigorating benefits of a full body dry
brush exfoliation. Relaxing hot stones will be used during the
application of the Intense Hydrating Treatment. A body buff
is used to gently exfoliate and soften your feet. The journey
ends with a Moroccanoil® Scalp Treatment which is warmed
and massaged into the scalp.
Spa Reflexology Address physical concerns through your
feet. Our Reflexology service includes a foot scrub and mask,
as well as a neck, shoulder and hand massage. Specific points
are targeted and worked on in order to send signals to the
brain and balance the nervous system. You can’t help but feel
relaxed as endorphins are released in your body, reducing
stress, and returning balance to the body. Be engulfed in a
sense of calm and focus.
