Dear customers,
We would like to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support throughout the past few years. Sadly, we will have to raise our prices next month due to rising costs. For now, we are offering a prepay option for treatments at our current price (limit to 10 treatments per customer). This will also help to reduce contact during level 2.

Please message us for further information on the prepay option. 😊

One of our lovely clients brought these in the other day 🌷 she had been feeling very stressed from work and felt much better after a treatment with us.
We hope everyone can take some time for self-care, in whichever way you can ❤️

Lots of people have been asking about our Gua Sha treatments, so we thought we would answer a few questions here. We are keen to introduce more people to this therapeutic technique so for a limited time we are not charging any extra fees - just ask your therapist to add it to your session if you would like to see what it's about! :)

🔹 What is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The literal translation of “Gua” is to “scrape”, and “sha” is sand. Another name we like to use for this technique is “body combing” – as it uses long, sweeping motions to remove blockages and toxins in various parts of the body.

First, oil is applied to the skin. Then a smooth, flat tool is pushed along the skin with the special technique of Gua Sha along specific meridians and pressure points to achieve the goal of the treatment.

🔹 How does Gua Sha work?

Gua Sha is a non-invasive technique which applies pressure against the skin – which is the largest organ in the human body. The skin is a permeable membrane, meaning it is capable of both absorption and secretion. We use special herbal medicine-infused oils specific to the goal of the treatment, which is absorbed through the skin. The stimulation from the scraping technique improves microcirculation underneath the skin, boosting vascular and lymphatic flow, which allows toxins to be excreted. This improves the health and appearance of skin by boosting its metabolism.

However, the effects of Gua Sha aren’t just skin deep. It also stimulates the fat and muscle layers under the skin. Gua Sha can loosen bodies of cellulite under the skin, simultaneously boosting lymphatic drainage to naturally expel it from the body, giving the body a more contoured appearance. It also relaxes and improves blood circulation to muscles, which is great for tight muscles or soreness.

🔹 Are there any side effects?

After Gua Sha therapy, there may be the appearance of clusters of very small, red dots where the tool was applied. The colour can range from a light pink to a deep purple, and there may be some pain associated which feels similar to a bruise. In TCM, this is the toxins leaving the body, and the degree to which each person experiences this will depend on one’s body conditions at the time of treatment.

This is normal after Gua Sha, and should fade after a few days. Remember to keep warm and avoid strenuous activities immediately after your treatment to achieve the best results.

Hi all! We hope you have stayed well during these difficult past few weeks. Following the government's decision to move to alert level 2 this Thursday, we are excited to announce we will be re-opening our doors on Saturday 16/05/2020 😃

A few changes we are making to ensure your safety:

- if you are feeling unwell, have a cough/fever, or have travelled overseas in the past 14 days, please help protect yourself and others by staying home/seeking medical help
- please book in advance for your appointment to avoid over-crowding
- hand sanitiser will be provided by the front door, please help yourself to it before coming in
- cloth covers on the face-rest area will be removed from our massage beds and only disposable covers will be used. We will be disinfecting the face-rest area between each customer (towels and linens will still be changed between each customer as per usual)
- our EFTPOS machine will be disinfected regularly. If you plan to pay cash, please have the correct amount ready

Kia kaha, we look forward to seeing your lovely faces ❤️
