SPRINGTIME AT NATURE'S ELEMENTS MASSAGE

Well, I think Spring is finally here, and I could not be happier! To celebrate,

we are adding a few new items to our menu, and I want to let you all know

about them.

If you know me, you know I really love incorporating elements of nature into

my massage and spa services, and try to use the most natural products

possible (hence our name). In my very first massage job in Eureka Springs

I learned how to do a very natural facial and I still use it today, making fresh

lavender water and my own clay mask. I love mixing up a customized body

mask or salt or sugar scrub. And I love doing stone massage! So, it

seemed only natural to add another element into the mix: wood. Bamboo,

specifically.

Bamboo fusion massage is a form of massage that combines traditional

Swedish strokes with the benefits of heated bamboo sticks. It's a great way

to receive deep tissue work without the traditional soreness. The massage

begins with an application of moisturizing oil, lotion or cream. The therapist

will then knead, roll, and tap warmed bamboo sticks

along your body, freeing your muscles of tension

and stimulating circulations pressure is easily

adjusted to your comfort level. You will enjoy a deep

sense of well-being and relaxation. As I researched the technique, I found that in Chinese

Medicine, the element of wood symbolizes Spring,

the beginning of life, flexibility, strength, generosity,

idealism, and a desire to grow and expand. How

fitting for a new springtime addition to or services!

I've also chosen a new product line for our facials:

Control Corrective. I chose this line after considering

several options. These products are free of parabens,

synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, and triclosan.

Finally, we have a brand new, limited time body

treatment from Ritual Alami. If it proves popular, we will

add it permanently. The Body Ritual consists of an

overall body cleansing using a cleansing bar, a

body scrub, body mask, towels soaked in a

specially formulated bath soak, and a full body

massage using a massage butter. Your choice of

kopi for firming, or Bali for balancing.

There you have it! Give us a call if you have any

questions or would like to schedule. I'll have these

services available online shortly.

So, celebrate Spring! Schedule your next massage or spa service soon!
