Signature Treatment

AfricologyBody Ritual:  A beautiful experience in which the energetic essence of plants is captured in order to work in harmony with the body’s own energy field. Botanical treatments help combat damage to living cells and they are free of chemicals or perfumes that can disrupt your hormonal rhythm. Using the intelligence of Nature, the Wellbeing ritual starts with a renewal scrub; gently exfoliating lifeless skin cells while nourishing. This is followed by a warm compress and a nourishing, anti-oxidant body cocktail massaged into the skin. The aroma of South African Snow Bush transforms a stressful mindset to one of enduring tranquillity. Your sense of wellbeing is further enhanced with a Rose Botanical Facial which works towards rebalancing the skin’s natural oil secretions.

We Love

• The Africa's Slimming Detox Mud: An invigorating treatment that stimulates fatty cell activity. Valuable when the body is in need of a detox. Combinations of holistic African herbs are blended into our all natural earth clay which improves circulation, lymph drainage and the body’s ability to balance again.
• Watsu: A form of bodywork carried out in a warm saltwater pool which combines elements of massage, shiatsu, and movement therapy. The body is floated, stretched, and massaged. The mind calms and the muscles relax and release. Stress and tension wash away and pain is relieved. The body’s natural flexibility is renewed.
