The Spa Guide To Beating The Winter Blues

It’s that time of year where the winter months have taken their toll and we all just long for those endless sunny days of summer to return. During the colder months, taking care of bodies is essential to keep away any unwanted aches and pains and to maintain a healthy glow all year round. Here are our top treatments to ensure we maintain relaxed and rejuvenated whatever the season and ready to fight whatever the weather throws our way…

Our Lava Relax, Face and Body is the ideal treatment if you’re looking for the ultimate head to toe relaxation experience. The warm lava shells are massaged over pressure points followed by deeply relaxing techniques on the back and shoulders to induce tranquillity. This treatment culminates with a gentle warming face massage to stimulate the circulation boosting your skins appearance. During the winter months our skin becomes subject to extreme temperature variations, from the bitter cold outside to the overly heated indoors. Giving your skin that extra special treatment will do wonders to its overall complexion, giving you a radiant glow.

Living in the constant cold really get into our bones, leaving us with a stiff back and neck as we hunch to keep ourselves warm. Fear not, that’s where our Intensive Muscle Release Treatments comes in. Working deep into stiff, tight, aching muscles to instantly release pain and tension, this treatment uses Swedish and cross muscle fibre techniques with stretching and draining to relieve pain. This is then combined with essential oils known for their beneficial effect on the circulation to fully rejuvenate your body from the cold.

A good night’s sleep is vital for many different reasons, especially to keep us strong and to give us energy to get through the day. During these colder months, we need this energy to help fight those dreaded winter colds. The Sleep Deeply Treatment is a head to toe massage using carefully applied pressures, neuromuscular and Swedish techniques to balance the nervous system and ease an overactive mind. The treatment induces a serious state of relaxation, leaving you prepared for a sound night’s sleep.

Calling all yummy mummies to be! There are several specially designed treatments to leave you feeling calm and relaxed during your pregnancy. Our Nurturing Mother-to-be Massage consists of Swedish and therapeutic techniques for all of the comfort points, to enable you to enjoy a blissful massage in a seated and side position, leaving you feeling tranquil and blissfully calm. Alternatively, our Thalgo Pregnancy Ritual incorporates a full body exfoliation to smooth and soften skin, followed by an application of nourishing body cream to help the skin tolerate extensive stretching. While this is left to work you will be treated to a hydrating facial and a soothing and relaxing lower leg and foot massage – a must have treat.
