Sole to Soul Detox Treatment - 
Address your well-being from the ground up, connecting the mind, body, and soul. Harness the power of copper, herbs, Himalayan rock salt and soothing massage.

Indulge in our new Sole to Soul Detox Treatment, a holistic experience designed to melt away stress and restore balance from your feet. More than just a pedicure, this holistic experience is designed to ground you, release tension, and restore natural radiance.
Begin your treatment with a grounding ritual where the feet are placed and soaked in a herbal foot soak in a copper bowl. Copper is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, which may help soothe tired muscles and promote overall wellbeing.
Pamper your feet with an invigorating steam pedicure which offers the benefits of improved hydration, enhanced product absorption, increased relaxation, and infusing your feet with the healing properties of copper. The steam softens the skin and cuticles, making them easier to work during the pedicure. It also promotes better blood circulation, which can help reduce pain and swelling in the feet. The warmth of the steam is very soothing and relaxing, contributing to an overall spa like experience.
Next, let your feet relax (30mins) as they rest upon a warming Himalayan rock salt foot detox lamp. Enjoy a relaxing herbal tea as gentle warmth and negative ions emitted from the salt lamp help to draw out toxins and heavy metals from the body through the feet making you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Himalayan rock salt contains 84 essential minerals that are important to regulate the body’s natural functionality. The concept behind using the Himalayan foot detox lamp is Reflexology since different zones of the feet are connected to almost all body parts. By placing the feet on the lamp it allows a body to absorb the goodness of trace minerals and beneficial negative ions.
Himalayan rock salt offers the following benefits:
 ❤️Anti-microbial response
 ❤️Air air purification
 ❤️Skin purification, softening and
hydration
❤️Mind relaxation
❤️ Reduces unhealthy acidity
❤️ Alleviates aching, lethargy, and
other stress symptoms

Your journey to wellness continues as you relax on a grounding mat whilst receiving a soothing Reflexology treatment and leg massage. This offers several potential benefits:
❤️ Enhanced relaxation
❤️ Improved sleep by helping to
regulate the body’s natural
electrical rhythms
❤️ Reduced stress and anxiety
❤️ Improved circulation
❤️ Pain relief and reduction in
inflammation
❤️ Deep relaxation and sense of calm
Treatment time 2hrs

A back facial is like a facial, but for your back! It's a relaxing and therapeutic treatment that targets clogged pores, acne, and dry skin on the back. We'll start with a deep cleanse, followed by exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. Extractions will help clear out any blemishes, and then we'll apply a customized mask to nourish and hydrate the skin. A relaxing massage completes the treatment, leaving your back feeling smooth, refreshed, and revitalized. It's perfect for prepping for a special occasion, addressing back acne, or simply as a way to pamper your back!

Tell me yours - here’s mine!
Tank Tops!!!
People underestimate the tank top come late September and the winter months, but let me tell you, it's a vital piece of tactical clothing (especially for those of us in the North East of Scotland) It’s not a jumper, it’s not a Tshirt but an ingenious design that allows you to feel simultaneously warm and cool at the same time. It an underrated item of clothing that screams, I'm prepared for anything, as long as ‘anything' involves a very specific temperature range and moderate breeze, followed by a light frost! It’s like the Swiss Army knife of clothing every wardrobe should have one! Sadly missed 😂
