Awakening the Skin

We start with a coarse salt scrub, a technique rooted in ancient Egyptian wellness, to stimulate blood flow and deep-cleanse the pores. This is followed by a finer sugar scrub, which dates back to ancient India, prized for its ability to hydrate and soften even the most sensitive skin types

Melting Away Stress

Once your skin is glowing and refreshed, we introduce Himalayan Hot Stones. The warmth from these stones penetrates deeper than manual pressure alone, allowing your therapist to release tight muscle knots and chronic tension without discomfort

Total Detoxification

Beyond relaxation, this service is a powerful detox tool. The combination of friction from the scrubs and heat from the stones encourages lymph drainage, helping your body eliminate toxins and reduce swelling, leaving you feeling lighter and more energized
