aquatic massage

Aquatic experiences take place in Sanctuary's private, heated Watsu pool. The gentle fluttering of votive candle flames at the water's edge adds a soothing, hypnotic effect to the already deep relaxation of Watsu. Wear a bathing suit and refrain from heavy meals for at least two hours prior to receiving any of these aquatic treatments.

This massage brings your body to a deep state of relaxation. The support of the water takes weight off your body, allowing it to be stretched and moved in ways impossible on land. Gentle, gradual twists and pulls relieve the pressures of a stressful life, helping you to emerge from the pool with greater equanimity and flexibility.

sabai foot
sixty minutes, 170.
Sabai in Thai means to relax or to be comfortable.  This treatment starts with a foot soak and exfoliation with lime and clay as it is the traditional belief that the feet are our windows to a person's soul.  The journey is completed with a relaxing foot massage with a cream using a wooden dowel, hands and an herbal poultice.  This is a wonderfully hydrating, detoxifying and healing foot experience.

Muscular tension and blocked energy are released by applying rhythmic thumb and palm pressure to points along the body's energy meridians. Serenity and balance result from this traditional Japanese massage.

reiki

Reiki is the Japanese word for "universal life energy." Vital life force energy (rei) flows from the practitioner's hands, affecting the subtle body energy (ki or chi) of the recipient. This gentle yet powerful healing technique facilitates balance.

luk pra kope
one hundred and twenty minutes, 260.
Meaning "to massage with medicinal herbs," luk pra kope begins with soaking your feet in a fresh lime and essential-oil bath. After your feet are cooled and exfoliated with fine, white Thai clay and fresh lime, a blend of steamy, organically grown herbs is rolled, massaged and pressed into tight muscles and onto problem areas and energy pathways. Along with Thai massage, the heated compress soothes sore and aching muscles, enhances circulation, reduces joint stiffness and refreshes the skin.

hypno therapy
sixty minutes, 170.
The word hypnosis comes from the Greek word hypno, which means "sleep".  During the subtle shift from wakefulness into sleep there is a small window into time and space that allows the mind to relax into positive affirming suggestions.  This Altered State of Consciousness (ASC) is where hypnotic therapy works. The goal of the therapy is to activate the mine-body pathways and offer relief associated with the individual's wants and needs.  This mind-body therapy can assist with a range of concerns from anxiety, behavior changes, and pain management.
