Acu-Pressure Massage
We’ve all heard about the magic of Chinese medicine, now feel it on your body!

The benefit of this type of massage is that it stimulates the body’s own natural power to repair itself, which effectively means a step back in time.
Aromatherapy Massage
Don’t think that this is a normal massage using aromatherapy oils. Not at all. This type of massage therapy not only uses specific oils to enhance relaxation, but incorporates hand-movements by a specialist therapist to address any number of problem areas, both physical and psychologically. In short, it’s the fusion of two very powerful healing techniques to benefit the patient… you.

It is also important to note that, while effective, massage therapy is in no way a substitute for medical treatment of serious ailments. Other than that, simply lie down, relax and let the experience revitalise you.
