The Body: bodywork
Full-body bodywork on the table, with aromatic oils and hot towels. Pair it with reflexology in a combo, or keep it short in The Chair.
Good to know
- What to expect
A therapeutic body massage with aromatic oils and hot towels, working the back, shoulders, neck and legs.
Wear comfortable clothing. There are no showers, so after an oil treatment we wipe you down with hot towels.
- How long
Full-body treatments run 60 to 120 minutes. We suggest at least 90, because working through the whole body takes time. For a first visit, 60 minutes is a good starting point.
- Relaxation or deep tissue
Relaxation massage (Swedish massage) uses lighter, flowing strokes to calm the nervous system and produce a state of deep rest. Deep tissue massage applies sustained, targeted pressure to the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The right choice depends on what your body is carrying.
A treatment with a Registered Massage Therapist can include deep tissue technique when appropriate: The RMT.
