Close your eyes right now and pay close attention to your body. Try to focus on each different part. Focus on yourself, your mind and how you feel. Your back, arms, and neck.

Aromatherapy is for people who want an emotional healing experience along with their massage. It can boost your mood and help with anxiety. This type of massage involves the use of essential oils. During the session, you inhale essential oil molecules and absorb them through your skin. Different essential oils have different properties that are beneficial to your body.

Deep Tissue Massage is recommended for people suffering from chronic pain, soreness or recovering from injuries. It helps de-stress your muscles providing a much-needed relief from pain. At any point, if you feel the masseur is using too much pressure, please do tell them. Do not hesitate to talk to our therapists!

Reflexology focuses more on individual parts of your body. Gentle pressure is applied to your feet and hands. This is especially recommended for people who use their feet a lot. Reflexology is a favourite amongst athletes, gym-goers and the occasional housewife who’s been running all day! There’s nothing quite like having masseur work their way around your tired, sore feet.

Thai Massages help increase flexibility and improve blood circulation. A sequence of movements similar to yoga stretching is involved in this type of massage. Your therapist will use their hands and fingers to apply firm pressure on your body. This is a more active form of massage compared to the others.

Balinese Massage uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, reflexology and aromatherapy to stimulate blood flow. The masseur will also target specific points of your body to relieve muscle stress. This is a massage that uses a lot of different techniques.
